Webcam problem: why is the quality so crap?

Always make sure that the light is behind the camera, else the auto-exposure will close down, giving you a rubbish result. To cut the jerkiness you may be able to increase the frame rate on setup. Also go to 'Properties' and shift the 'Gamma' this may help.

Most often with a webcam, it is a driver problem. Did you install the software that cam with the webcam? Uninstall and then reinstall the drivers.Try using a different USB port and reinstalling the drivers. \nAlso check your firewall.

If you gave the what kind of cam it was I would have provided a direct link. But the easiest would be to go to the manufactures website or simply go to google and type in the webcam name with the words "driver download".\n\nIt should pull it right up.\n\n:0)

Depends on what you call a reasonable price and what quality image you want to have.  I've tried the logitec for around that price and quite frankly, it was crap.  I like my creative webcam.  I went through 3 different ones, including said logitec before I found one that worked well.  I paid around $45 for it at best buy.  You can buy more expensive ones, which is fine, but I don't recommend buying a cheapie because you won't be satisfied and will probably take it back to the store.

Try using an advance webcam manufactured by Logitech. Though it is costly, it would be helpful - will fullfil your request.

You should install the software with no camera connected.\nIf you installed it with camera connected, do the following\n1- Disconnect camera\n2- Remove software\n3- Restart computer\n4- Install software (With no camera connected)\n5- Restart computer\n6- Connect camera\n\nIf this is not working either, i guess there is a problem in the webcam

At time people can not see anything on the cam because they are on a very slow internet connection. To be able to work properly with a web cam, you need to have afast internet connection.\n\nHowever, make sure that when others wish to view your webcam, you let them do that. You will aksed for when others request to view your webcam, and you have to say yes to that. \n\nFor your mic, it could be due to you pluging it into a wrong port on your computer. Makr sure you are inserting it into the correct port, you can mostly identify ports using color on the port and the color on the mic cable.

Work together with a friend on this, go through all of the settings and light sources, and all the possible permutations, and ask for their oppinion.  Maybe though the camera you have is defective

In theory yes it would do. The picture quality however may not even improve as its also the lense that matters.\n\nIf your internet connection is currently using 100% of your bandwidth while using the webcam then upgrading to a higher resolution will not have any benefits actually more drawbacks. I would stick with (or buy) a lower resolution one by a good make for best performance. \n\n - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - \nwww.3doms.com \nTechSupport@3doms.com (free)\n - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

it should be a plug and play, if not the cd should have an option for driver install only.  check the manual, or find out what kind of webcam it is and download the drivers yourself and skip the whole installing the program part.
