Webcam question: Did I just pick up one that doesn't have a webcam (even thought the box picture has one) or do I have a defect?

Hello, I just bought the same exact eee pc that your referring to from best buy and mine has the little plastic piece over the webcam and I have not been able to get it to work. I dont think our model has the webcam. They should say that more clearly on the box because it totally appears as though it comes with the webcam. Hope this helped.

the other issue to notice is that the webcam is not compatible with OSX. I made the mistake of not checking that until it was too late. I'm not a computer expert, but with so many products compatible for both windows and OSX, how does a company like ASUS overlook this need? Crazy.

Go to "Tools &gt; Options... &gt; General &gt; Video Settings" and select "VC500 Video" from the drop-down list labled "Select Webcam". Make sure that you have the proper drivers installed.

Roger... The image quality on this is probably the best you can buy for a web cam. If you don't mind spending extra, just get the retail box model with the CDs and whatnot. There other plug and play items out there from Microsoft which will take all the guesswork out of getting a webcam going... just sacrificing a SMALL amount of image quality.

I have XP on my computer and the web cam works fine. Try using a different USB port I did have to switch mine around when I first hooked it up

The webcam works great- however the monitor has no microphone. It was advertised on Amazon as having an integral mic. but does not!! Amazon did send me an external mic.

Mine did not have a camera. I bought the camera and installed it myself, but was so disappointed with the picture quality. I bought an external Logitech HD webcam for $50 and it is fabulous. So I probably wouldn't go back to the built in one except the one in my phone.

I returned one of these camera because of a similar problem. I noticed a white flickering dot during playback. I observed while filming and the dot was present on the LCD screen. I got a second one and the dot wasnt there at first. It came back on the second camera but in a different place. I'm baffled and wish i could find more info on this issue. If anyone has more info on this, let me know!

Same problem. Thinking about returning it. That's a product defect, and the video shows the first thing you'll notice in opening the box is the documentation!

I'm wondering this too. Did either of you end up getting one of the cameras? Any reviews?

I had no luck with this camera or its manufacturer. My software disc was blank and the i.p. address given to link the camera was inop. The online chat is so bad I think it may be a fake site. Wish I could help but my best advice is to return it and get something else.

Odd. I doubt it's a defective unit. Try manual mode to see if that works. Also. check that you haven't added some underexposure flash compensation on the camera or the flash.
