We purchased 2 of these so my wife and I could Skype while I worked out of town and I could also see my granddaughter. We had a very old Microsoft webcam that one of these is replacing. The picture quality is very good. We have high speed internet in both locations and the picture looks great. Occasionally picture can be a little fuzzy but that is not a camera issue I believe it to be a service provider issue at one of the locations during peek times of the day. Built in mic works well, most of the time I can hear my very soft spoken granddaughter with out any problems. Occasionally there is a weird feed back noise that I have not gotten figured out yet. Either has something to do with the placement being to close to speakers or a settings issue with the mic. But even with the odd sound it is still a very good camera. I played with the Logitech software that you can down load from the web site. Used it to take a photo of me in my new chair to show the wife and the quality was pretty good. It also has the ability to set up camera for motion detection and it seems to work okay. At first it locked up my computer but I had some other video issues with other software. After a video driver update those went away. Have not tried the motion sensor since the upgrade so not sure if it will cause an issue or not. Overall I am very satisfied with the product.
