Webcam Advice, please

I'm looking for a webcam for myself and my Mother, who is housebound. She's pretty PC-savvy but would prefer a USB pug-and-use model if possible. The ability to speak to each other as well would be a bonus.

Can anyone suggest a suitable product?

Many thanks in advance, Ll

If you try http://www.ebuyer.co.uk you should see a good range of products. The Logitech Quickcam "Messenger" isn't too expensive and has a built in microphone.

Llademos,

One of the cameras I recommend most is the:

Logitech QuickCam Pro 4000

But they are not cheap.

Take Care,

Richard

...and they are not quite plugn play - do read the (5 lines) of install instruction. The key point is that you should not plug it in before you have finished the driver install. Been there - done that - and done it all once again

I've got the Logitech quickcam jobbie (free with AOL BB, the only good thing to come out of that!)

Does it's job, nice and simple, pretty neat software too.
