This item is by far not the best you can buy. However, if you are looking for the best quality and you aren't spending more then you are an idiot. It works and is easy to use. The lights are very nice for using the product in the dark. They don't shine bright enough to bother you if you are looking at the screen. The clip worked well. The video quality was very acceptable. If you are looking for value webcams, this one should be pretty high on your list.

3.0 out of 5 stars Some Strangeness
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2010

Be prepared for some strangeness when installing this cam with Vista. The cam comes with a drivers/software CD. The drivers installed OK but the Hercules software would not recognize the cam. So I went to the Hercules website and installed updated drivers and software. Still the same problem. However, the cam works fine with Arcsoft Videoimpressions software which I already had. Mediocre video quality and sound. You get what you pay for.

4.0 out of 5 stars Inexpensive and performs well
Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2012

I was looking for an inexpensive (i.e., semi-expendable) webcam to monitor a remote-control telescope. I wanted to make sure it didn't do something funny like end up pointed at the ground. The Hercules cost $8 and does a fine job.
The software was easy to install on Win 7, and the first thing it did was ask to update itself to the current version.
I mounted the Hercules on a post about eight feet from the telescope, and ran a USB extension cable from the remote hub on the telescope to the camera. When I turn on the lights, it gives me an image of the telescope and assures me things are okay.
One thing I like about this webcam is you can move it from one USB port to another and the software finds the webcam again with no problems. A minor thing maybe, but it adds greatly to the utility of the camera.
