Designed for a desktop or laptop PC, the Intel Pro PC camera is a full-featured USB camera with bundled software that lets you record audio, video, or still images for use in e-mail postcards, movies, and Web sites. In addition you can easily plug a VCR or camcorder into the video-in plug on the back of the camera to edit home movies on your PC and then post them on your Web page, or e-mail them to friends and family. Using a progressive-scan CCD image sensor and a four-layer glass and plastic lens, the camera captures clear, 24-bit, 16.8 million-color still images at 640 x 480 resolution. It also takes 640 x 480-resolution video clips at up to 30 frames per second for full-motion video. Featuring a focus depth of 1 inch to infinity, the camera includes a dial for manually adjusting the image clarity as you change distance from an object. Simply press a button to capture snapshots or start recording video clips.
With its removable tilt-swivel base, the camera can rest on any flat surface, or you can disconnect the base to expose the tripod socket for more versatility. You can also set your camera to take motion-detection or timed-interval snapshots automatically. A generous 9-foot cable provides plenty of latitude for camera placement, and a lens cover protects the lens.
Intel provides a one-year parts and labor warranty on the camera.
