What makes one Web camera better than another?
With just about any technology, there are considerable differences in features and quality; both are usually reflected in the prices of cameras. Consider your needs and shop accordingly. An important consideration is the still image capture (360 x 240 is lower resolution than 640 x 480), the video frame rate (24 frames per second is slightly lower-quality video; 30 is better) and the number of colors the camera can support (16 million vs. 24 million). Some cameras come complete with a microphone input and software so that you can combine audio with video. If you want to take pictures outside of your computer work area, you’ll enjoy the flexibility of a detachable camera.
