Customer Review: Worth every penny!
Summary: 4 Stars
I gotta say, this is an awesome webcam for about $7!! Quite honestly, if your just looking for a very basic webcam for video chat and even making youtube video's, then this webcam is defiantly worth every penny! I mean seriously, you just can't go wrong with the price. I wasn't sure what to expect when I bought this, but when it arrived in the mail and I checked it out, I was pleasantly surprised. The initial quality of this webcams video is a very decent 640X480 resolution ranging in about the 2 or so megapixel range I'd say, It really doesn't look that bad at all, I'm totally satisfied. Also during video chats or when making youtube video's there is little or no lag between the video and audio!The only draw back on this cam is there is no microphone, but I have a headset so I don't really care. I bought this webcam from the HDE sellers and their shipping was excellent! It was in my mailbox 3 days after I made my order! The price is right on this one and the product is excellent! I have a dual boot on my computer for windows xp and ubuntu 9.10 and the webcam worked instantly in windows xp right when I plugged it in! Already had pre-installed drivers in the webcam! No hassle! Just plug and play! Ubuntu on the other hand took a little more work, but after a long while of fiddling and trying to figure things out I got it to work, and it works perfectly with skype 2.1 beta and GUVCview which I use to record youtube video's. I think it would only be fair to help out my fellow ubuntu users so I'm going to add the exact set of code and command lines that will get this webcam up and running perfectly with skype and GUVCview in ubuntu 9.10 in this review!!! By the way, the exact name of this camera and its model is SiGma Micro USB Webcam ID# 1c4f:3002.
This webcam solve is for Ubuntu 9.10 users using Skype 2.1 Beta version with this webcam, the SiGma Micro USB Webcam ID# 1c4f:3002. If you don't use skype then just ignore the top half at the dotted line and only install the drivers!
First you will want to set the resolution for skype to the same resolution of the webcam. Before doing this, Shut down Skype and any other video/webcam program before doing anything. Then open a terminal. To do this, go to Applications menu -> Accessories -> Terminal.
Now enter this command in the terminal:
gedit /$HOME/.Skype/(YourUserName)/config.xml
Once the skype xml file is opened then search for this:
<TransferWindow>
<Height>240</Height>
<NoCancelConfirmation>0</NoCancelConfirmation>
<Width>480</Width>
<X>3</X>
<Y>647</Y>
</TransferWindow>
Once found, highlight and delete, and replace with this:
<Video>
<CaptureHeight>480</CaptureHeight>
<CaptureWidth>640</CaptureWidth>
</Video>
Once completed, save and exit. Now return to the terminal.
Now you will need the webcam drivers so enter these commands in the terminal (one by one):
cd /tmp
wget http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/archive/tip.tar.bz2
tar xvfj tip.tar.bz2
cd v4l*
make
Wait, until it is finished (it will finish with an error).
Now, enter this in the terminal:
gksudo gedit /tmp/v4l*/v4l/.config
Search for this line in the xml file:
CONFIG_DVB_FIREDTV=m
and change it to
CONFIG_DVB_FIREDTV=n
Now click on "Save", close the text editor and get back to the terminal where you enter these commands (one by one):
make
sudo make install
Now, when completed, reboot your computer and your webcam should work.
Enjoy! =]
