For decades the webcam has been viewed as a 1.3MP lens affixed to the rear of your lappy or a peripheral placed atop your monitor and nothing more. Hercules has introduced the Hercules Dualpix HD720p webcam which will change the ’sad repute’ forever and make the webcam as important as the other integrations.
The name is a good enough hint that this webcam is blessed with HD capabilities and hence it captures 1280×800 videos at 30fps courtesy of a 1-megapixel CMOS sensor. Not just that, your flicks are also captured at 5MP with the interpolation technology.
The tiny webcam measures only 28 x 55.4 x 62mm which is commendable given the capability of the device. Fit for all types of monitors or camera-less notebooks, it can spin on horizontal and vertical axis. A combination of sensors and motors facilitate face detection using an auto-rotate function right at the beginning of a chat session.
To add to the list of functions, this webcam comes with a wide angle lens with auto-focus and 3X zoom. Not to miss, there is also a built-in microphone intact. Price: $60. [via: Pocket-Lint]
