Hercules Dualpix Exchange 2MP HD Webcam

 

There are a lot of choices when it comes to purchasing a webcam, but thanks to Hercules Dualpix Exchange this task has become easier than ever. Hercules packs the Dualpix Exchange with 2 Mega Pixels, a built in microphone, and their own Webcam Station...

Records videos + 2MP photos ; Works out of the box with both XP and Vista ; Very user friendly Software ; Great Looks and excellent build quality ; Built in Microphone

Doesn't record smooth videos at advertised resolution ; Zoom could be better

I have personally never had any experience with Hercules products before, since this being my first product, my experience was nothing but overwhelming aside from from the fact it wasn't able to record smooth videos at advertised resolution, which in...

support poor

 

Webcam works ok once you manage to get it set up. Driver decent for a cheap webcam, includes zoom

Drivers did not load by clicking setup.exe on the CD, but I was able to get them from the mfrs website. There was no manual on the CD nor downloadable from the website. There is a quick start guide, but nowhere does it tell you that the webcam is...

Great picture quality

It took me a whole day to find a good webcam until I found this one. The quality is crystal clear, the sound is amazing and for the price you can't go wrong. My wife and I just love everything about it. I highly recommend it.

when I used the microphone part of the product, everyone or anyone I was talking to said my voice was difficult to understand... more or less garbled. I have purchased another type for my other computer which does work better

Amazing for the price, works with Mac OS X

 

Amazing for the price, works with Mac OS X

I had no trouble using this with iChat or Gmail. It's great if you have good lighting (a little dark if not, though). The built-in mic is great - no feedback with the speakers.
