Answer 1

ok go to a comp u tech store see what they have on sale try to get one with both clip and free stand attachments. but make sure they have your computor symbol on the package. And is compatible. you know mac apple, or Microsoft.... because they do sell ones that are not compatible. Try and get one with night vision if you can, great option to have for low light settings.check out loditech, express, microsoft,and creative video cameras on the internet to give your self a better idea of what you want. but go to the SOURCE store first look for a pc usb internet video camera in a yellow white and black box brand name Telemax - communications. It sells for $19.99 with tax=$ 22.79 ( thats in canadian currancy). this camera is cheap but good enough can talk live, is good with mic, speakers and sound, also has still camera. comes coplete with clip attachment , free stand attachment usb cable and program disk. looks kinda crappy but it does work. note has manual focus just turn the rubber ring around lens. Its as cheap as I could find. The Source has other more expesive models to and they might have what you looking for. hope this helps...

Any of the models rated 5 stars with a lot of reviews should be fine. Read all the reviews.
