Can Lifecam 3.6 Be Used for Vx 3000
Back in September, Nick blogged about two new LifeCams from Microsoft Hardware: the VX-7000 and NX-3000. Recently, I've been looking for a new webcam. I already owned the VX-3000 – but I wanted something a little more powerful and higher quality. And the VX-7000 is simply that! I went alee and picked one up last calendar week and thought I'd share some notes on my experience with it so far.
First off, let me give you a brief introduction to the device. The VX-7000 is the top-of-the-line webcam in the VX series of LifeCams from Microsoft Hardware. The VX serial LifeCams are designed for desktop PCs while the NX series LifeCams are designed for laptops. The VX-7000 is a Certified for Windows Vista device so it is designed to piece of work great with Windows Vista. All LifeCams are optimized for Windows Alive – specifically being used with Windows Live Messenger for video calls. The VX-7000 comes with a pretty slick set of specs (you can also read the specs here from the Microsoft Hardware site):
- ii.0 Megapixel Sensor for clear video
- Built-in Microphone designed to capture crystal clear sound
- Universal Zipper Base of operations to fit on elevation and clamp on to about monitors
- Auto-Adjustment for Depression Light Weather
- 71 degree Broad-angle Lens
- High Definition viii Megapixel still digital photographs
Both video and all the same photos are shot at 1600×1200 screen resolution which is actually nice.
The VX-7000 (and all LifeCams) utilizes the Microsoft LifeCam client where you can take photos and videos using the camera. You can download the Microsoft LifeCam along with the drivers here.
But what the VX-7000 is perfect at, I found out, is doing video calls with contacts in Windows Live Messenger. I used Windows Live Messenger's Sound and Video wizard (under the Tools card) to set the audio and video up with the VX-7000. I then initiated a video call with a friend of mine and within seconds my friend could hear and meet me via my VX-7000 webcam. And the quality was pretty practiced!
As I mentioned above, you can use the Microsoft LifeCam client to record photos and videos using the VX-7000 (or any LifeCam). And with Windows Live Photo Gallery – you lot tin upload those photos you take to your Windows Live Space (or Flickr). Did you also know that with Windows Alive Photo Gallery yous tin can upload videos to MSN Discourse equally well?
I was able to accept several videos I shot with the VX-7000 and apply Windows Live Photo Gallery to upload them to MSN Soapbox.
Overall though I've been really impressed with the quality of the VX-7000 in general and it should certainly be looked at if you lot're looking for a new webcam.
