Microsoft LifeCam Studio

When friends and family can’t attend those important life moments in person, LifeCam Studio gives you the closest thing to being there. Whether the sun is streaming in the window or you’re lit only by the light from your computer monitor, you’ll get great resolution and color. TrueColor Technology adjusts to virtually any lighting conditions and helps keep the most important part of your video call—your face—properly exposed. You don’t have to focus, either, because the LifeCam studio will automatically do it for you.

Forget the hassle of picking up and moving your laptop around to get the right view—this webcam can pivot 360 degrees, so you can easily point the camera anywhere. And the built-in tripod thread lets you set up your camera on a tripod* so you can get out from behind your monitor and record long video captures from different angles. The ultra-wideband microphone captures sound from all over the room, not just in front of the camera.
