ActiveWin.com: Logitech QuickCam Ultra Vision - Review | |
|
||
| Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||
Andre has posted his review of Logitech's QuickCam Ultra Vision, certified for Windows Vista. Here is an excerpt: For years video web cams have been available to anyone who needed such functionality, even in pre-broadband times. I was always interested in getting one, but certain factors always got the best of me. I either don’t have appropriate hardware, too complicated to setup, no one to chat with and lack lustre software. But it’s 2007 and the more you interact with people online, the more you want to go beyond basic text based chatting. This is especially true if you have close family and friends who are far away and you would like to see them every now and then. With the pervasiveness of broadband Internet, the user experience has also been greatly enhanced, for that you get better video calls in addition to more attractive functionality that goes beyond video based chat sessions. | ||

Terrific review.
I use this camera at our center office - having been a fan of the integration of video, voice and data to about all things, we have been big users of these tools at the desktop since 1999. All our systems and customers have this capability by a variety of secure means and integration with domains, PBX systems and all applications is key. This model does a particularly nice job of integrating with MS Office Communicator, which we prefer as the primary means by which I and our team interact. |

| Lloyd, your place of work sounds like Microsoft 2, you need to get me a job there so I can enjoy it too, LOL! :-D |

#2, It is a very special place, because of our people. Some of us just got back from a marathon on the road - NYC, Mobile, Gulf Shores and some very complex networks and builds. One guy is still rolling back from the coast and the integration of systems/software built for a medical institute. Another left work after several days with little food and less sleep - just to go home and start some more work! The men are amazing - I can't get them to stop. They know the mission and "they know how to ship" - we set nearly impossible deadlines for ourselves and then work to see if we can beat them. We do it by caring for one another.
If two of us are baked, another jumps in and keeps the pace rolling. Since we build all of the stuff we sell ourselves, there is a very real sense of ownership. It has to be perfect. Mis-align so much as a label, and the case is donated to charity and one starts over. Code? it has to be as perfect as a man can make it, or it is re-written until it meets that standard. Same is true of the UX - we spend way more than most companies think is reasonable to make apps interfaces look as good as the best designers can make them. There is just so much respect for the work, our customers and one another, that each inspires all the others. Super simple rules: "The Fourth Rule - do not lie; do not cheat; do not steal; and do not tolerate those that do." This means that no matter what happens, or what breaks, men are fee to be candid - so we can fix it and move on. "You today, me tomorrow - today you may be weak and tired and I will carry you - because tomorrow I may be flat on my backside." And the most important rule - "Do the right thing regardless of the personal consequences" - this is how we define character. Rule for leaders are even simpler - "take care of the men and they will take care of the mission." That drives every thing I do. I tell my men, "I don't owe one thing - I owe you everything." They know I mean every word of it, because of what I do - place them first. If that and an environment filled with only the very best of all equipment interests you, give me a holler. We do use a lot of MS SW and tools, but we don't really know them. We like a lot of their work, but we like our own and we like being a small unit. We work really hard, but the rewards are probably a lot greater, too. Per person, we smoke them and their earnings on a per capita basis. |

| #4, It sure is a pretty state. Warm and green. Nice people, too. |
