Hercules Dualpix HD720p

 

The $59.99 (list) Hercules Dualpix HD720p features a one-megapixel camera sensor, an auto-focus lens, and the ability to record smooth 720p video at 30 frames per second. Unfortunately, several software snafus and so-so video quality detract from this...

Flexible clip-on mount rotates for multiple viewing angles. Good value for an HD-capable webcam

Video quality is just so-so. Audio sync issues with HD recordings. Clunky software. Built-in mic lacks noise cancellation. For use with laptops only; cable is too short for desktop use

The Hercules Dualpix HD720p has its quirks, but if you're looking for a low-cost solution for recording smooth, high-definition video and participating in video chats this webcam should do the trick.

This webcam is great. It has worked well out of the box and has amazing quality. The pixilation is clear as well. I have yet to see those small blocks that appear around me when talking with friends and the same for them.

Got this Webcam today, pluged it in, inserted the driver CD and away I went. Not a dang thing wrong with it, in fact I'm quite suprised at the quality for such a low cost.

Not compatable

Got this cam for Vista Ultimate, and thinking it was Plug and Play, ended up being Plug and Pray. I didn't want to spend the rest of my life calling tech support or playing with Windows...so I sent the cam back. I am sure the cam works, but poor ole...

Horrible investment

 

Don't buy these. We thought they were a good buy cause they were cheap but it turns out they were just CHEAP. I can't even give them 2 eggs beacuse it's not like they work but work poorly, they don't even work.

When they do work, they work okay.

I work in I.T. for a theme park chain and we bought like 35 of these for our season pass computers, and maybe 1 in every 4 broke within the first 2 weeks. They just stop working and windows fails to recognize them from that point on. They show up as...

Vista Compatible? Nope

Although this webcam is supposedly Vista compatible, the installion won't even run properly on a Vista system. There are no workarounds, ie installing the drivers manually. The drivers and files that are installed also don't uninstall after the failed...
