This Vibra WebCam is inexpensive but has mediocre picture quality in all but the perfect lighting conditions. Installation was simple and straightforward, didn't cause crashes like others have said (but your mileage may vary), and was recognized by all of the capturing programs I had. The webcam image had a lot of banding in low and overlighting conditions that wasn't correctable through the included driver. If you're in a pinch, don't have lots of money to spend on a webcam, and have full control of the lighting in the room, this will do the job. Otherwise, pass on this product.
