USRobotics Skype Camera
Communications expert USRobotics today expanded its VoIP range into videos with the introduction of the Mini Cam for Skype. The camera has been certified by Skype for use with all of the latter's company's video-related features on a host computer, including live video chat, pre-recorded video messages, and still photos. The hardware is accordingly optmized, USRobotics says. The 1.3-megapixel sensor captures a full 30 frames per second and adapts its settings to better focus on indivduals' faces or in low-light situations. The slim-profile body is equally adaptable and is meant to clip or stand on any common surface, whether it be a laptop display or a desktop. USRobotics plans on shipping the Mini Cam with a microphone headset in January for a price of $40.
