Webcam on the DV6000?

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has used/tested the built-in webcam on the laptop?

Any feedback would be appreciated in terms of image quality and ease of operation with respect to software used with it.

Folks have suggested skyppe for video telecomm. Is this a good program to use and will it work with the DV6000 webcam?

Your help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

hey..
iv got a webcam on my dv6000....its a 1.3 mp cam nd is not bad for a webcam....its much better than the 1.3 mp camera on my cellphone.....More than enough for talking to friends...
Cheers

 

Thanks Khanak.

Good to hear that the built-in webcam is good enough.

Does the dv6000 come with the software to run it?

you can run it on your Windows Explorer or selecting the camera on your Control Panel.. you can also run your webcam through your IM (YM, MSN, Trillian, etc)

i think 1.3mp is ok for now... but you cannot swivel it like on asus or dell notebook webcams.

 

There isnt too much software but you can take pics through the windows explorer software.......i guess there should be sometihng out there with which you can record video so that you can youtube...if thats what you want to do...

 

ne way i can adjust the brightness/contrast it just opens up in a new window...i cant see any controls

 

Hi khanak,

My wife and I travel extensively. We want to be able to communicate with each other and our young son through the internet/webcab.

No .... no youtube. =)

Skype is quite picky about webcams. Can someone confirm that s/he has used dv6000's cam with Skype?

 

i use it everyday.......works real well

 

I have it and it works good
