Sorry but I don't work for the webcam company, and I have no idea how to fix all your issues (<strong>sorry!</strong>). Nor do I have any idea where to point you guys to, as my cam "just works". I might do a bit more research if it doesn't, but since it works and I am lazy, so... Hence I have to close comments on this post. No more support request, thanks. Hi all,

They are dim/weak because they are INFRA-RED...and obviesly rather low quality, because good IR-LED:s sends almost no visible light at all! Just a brief note about the LED:s.

I have found the picture improves if I bounce light from a desk lamp off the wall behind my monitor onto my face & i don't end up with black circles under the eyes looking like an internet deviot. I have seen new models out that come with motion sensing software included, that would be handy to have, anyone got a copy? I have my driver disk if anyone out there still needs it...gm Hi all
