5 out of 5 stars Great camera, great audio quality.............2007-05-19

I'm not sure why the other reviewers are not having the same excellent experience that I am having with my Voice camera. The installation was easy, the image is clear and the directional live audio feature that they have, works great.

When I video caht with my friend, he says that the image is clear and the frame rates are fine. Also, if there are others around, the directional live audio feature only picks up my voice. The software bundle is very good compared to the other cameras out there.

Overall, I'm very happy with my camera and highly recommend it.

2 out of 5 stars Mic OK but picture quality lacks.......2007-05-17

Liked the built in microphone. The zoom and pan features are nice.
Unfortunately the video and still picture quality is poor. Probably will toss when another "good" deal comes along.

4 out of 5 stars It is hard to say.......2007-03-08

My image on my screen is very sharp,however on the other side of transmission the picture is some what blured ( pixelated). The problem could be other then the quality of the Live Cam itselfe.

2 out of 5 stars One disapointing camera .......2007-02-28

I've been testing several cameras for my work and so far this one is the worst performance to cost for video we've played with. To get a one star it would have to have failed install or been otherwise fatally flawed as it is it works but The quality of the image , lack of focus ability and the quality of image, repetition? Nah it's a camera and it's worth noting that it's primary function is no better than a $5 after rebate model. Given the $70 price point this thing is seriously disappointing.

Sound's pretty good and unlike the MS vx3000 which has a great picture ( but lags the sound horribly) it works on systems other than XP/ Vista )
It's a real shame since it's nicely designed , has a pretty good software bundle ( specially if IM is your main use). Given that most of the reviews online have the same image issues I'd find something better than Creative live

1 out of 5 stars The Worst!.......2006-11-06

Never have I seen such a disconnect between what is written on the flashy box and what the web cam inside delivers. Or rather: doesn't. The picture is fuzzy and there is no auto-focus nor even a focus ring. The picture seeems software interpolated as the screen is sharp for a brief moment after turn-on, then goes blotchy. The gamma and brightness controls barely do anything. The Microphone array produces noise. I recorded myself moving around, without talking. On replay there's not silence but significant crackle and popping on the soundtrack, I guess as the microphones are looking for something to track. Last, but not least, the box blatantly lies about still picture quality: one is promised up to 5 Mpixel stills, however the only resolution available for still photos through Creative's driver/software is 640x480. Spend your ~$100 elsewhere.

Amazon.com Review

Just when you thought all webcams were created equal, along comes the Creative Live! Cam Optia AF--the first webcam to offer an autofocus lens and a ceiling-busting 2-megapixel resolution. But that's just the start of the technical enhancements, which also include dual microphones with noise cancellation capability, a wide range of visual and audio effects (which you can also create), parental controls, and still image capture up to an interpolated 8 megapixels.



This screenshot was taken with the Apple iSight...


...while this was taken with the Optia AF--notice the deeper shading of colors compared to the iSight.
The Optia AF offers easy plug-and-play operability on either a Windows PC or a Mac--just slide in the USB 2.0 plug, select the camera from your chosen video chatting program (it works seamlessly with Skype, Yahoo!, Windows Live, SightSpeed, and iChat), and you're good to go. The Optia's autofocus feature gets engaged whenever you make movements more pronounced than just moving your head from side to side--the picture mildly blurring for about a second before it adjusts to a crisper focus. We found it best not too move too much, otherwise the picture tended to constantly adjust itself, which was frustrating for our chat partner.

However, our chat pal did notice that the colors from the Optia AF were much richer when compared to a test we did with the Apple iSight (see images at right), and that the flow of video was smoother with the Optia's 30fps (frames per second) capture. He also noted that my voice seemed to come in clearer, thanks to the dual adaptive array microphones.

While the Optia AF works as advertised right out of the box, you'll benefit from installing the Creative software package, which includes the Cam Console from which you can make a wide range of adjustments. (Note that this software is available for Windows users only; it's also Vista-certified.) From the Autofocus section of the console, you can specify a focus area from an Advanced menu that will help cut down on refocusing, or choose to manually focus on one point if you're going to be more stationary.



Add special effects such as crocodile eyes, which will follow your face around the screen.
The Cam Console is also where you can select from a host of special effect add-ons that range from draping a background around you (such as the Eiffel Tower) or adding elf ears or crocodile eyes, which will follow your face as you move. Unfortunately, it seemed we needed a green screen behind us as we could never get the backgrounds to fully form. But we were much more successful with the facial additions and such whole-scale manipulations as half-tone and mirror image.

The included CD-ROM also includes Muvee Autoproducer software, which can help you stitch together a movie from different clips captured from the Optia AF, as well as Orb, which enables you to broadcast your video feed to a Web page that friends and family can check in on. Coupled with the Optia AF's parental controls, the Orb service could be handy for parents who want to remotely check in on what their tykes are up to in another room, or back at home with a babysitter.

Like its predecessor, the Optia AF's stand can sit freely upon a desk or older CRT monitor, and the rubber grips on the bottom help to keep it from slipping. A clip is included on the bottom to stabilize the stand on your laptop's screen or LCD monitor, making the Optia one of the most secure webcams we've used. You can twist the black high-gloss camera body around 270 degrees, and the image automatically flips when it's rotated more than 90 degrees. Adding to its stylish looks is an inner ring that lights up in blue when the camera is turned on. Swiveling the lens so it's pointing down turns the camera off for when you need privacy.

Overall, the Optia AF is a welcome advance to to the world of webcams, thanks to its sharper focus, richer colors, and clearer audio. But it's also chock-full of extras that will add fun to your chats with family and friends. --Agen G.N. Schmitz

1 out of 5 stars Software crashes!.......2007-06-17

I decided to buy this webcam as an upgrade to my new Logitech. The webcam worked but it only outputs at 15 fps and wmv (I want avi). I emailed Logitech and they said that this is all their software supported.

The software install for this Creative webcam is long and complicated. When I try to use the software I get a notice to report the error to Microsoft and the computer locks up. If I do not use the software I hear the Windows sound of a device connecting and disconnecting. This stops when I unplug the webcam. I am trying to get help from support. We will see.

I do not know why both companies cannot provide good software. I am about to return both and try Microsoft.

4 out of 5 stars Not bad, not bad at all.......2007-06-17

I have a lot of web cams, having been part of a few video related software projects, but it always seems that when I need a cam fast for some test the one I grab or the only one at hand is one that doesn't have its drivers installed on the test machine.

I was wary of a driver-less cam because it was one of those holy grail items. However, what the heck, I gave it a try. And what do you know, you plug it in and that's it. It is recognized and you're off to the races.

I've used it on Windows 2003R2 Server along with Camtasia, on XPPro for flash video testing and on TabletPC2005. Every one detected and ran it. However some DirectX software lost the camera connection when I tried to iterate the extended properties of the camera device, I figure that's the tradeoff of driver-free.

The framerate drops quite a bit when used along with Camtasia, but so do my other logitechs. I think it's a little worse but still very useable.

I haven't installed the creative software so I can't confirm or deny the previous reviewers experiences. Again this a a major reason to buy this unit, you aren't forced to install lots of stuff you don't need.

One thing I wasn't expecting was that the mic would be any good without added helper installation. And honestly I had my doubts that even with the software installed those two mics so close together would give you the real power of a phase array like we have on tablets or pro mics with dsps built-in. Another surprise... the mics picked up my naration of a screencast very nicely from about three feet away and even did pretty well at reducing the levels of a movie track that someone was working on in the next cube.

The clip? I actually find it pretty good. It holds onto the top of both my desktop lcds (inch and a half deep) and the top of my convertable fujitsu T4215 (less than a half inch deep). It's not super tight but it holds well and the little strips of rubber help it stay in place even without it being a tight clamp. Oh, and it only goes down about a half inch from the top of the monitor which means it doesn't touch the lcd on most displays. Nice work on that design.

The camera barrel swivels smoothly all the way around for better lining up of your targets and the tension is just right, not too loose & not too tight.

In all, a good buy.

I'm buying a few more for my crew. Beats running around going "I've got an Orb, do you have the drivers? No? Who took my NotebookPro, it'a all I have installed on this box!" :)

2 out of 5 stars What a way to disappoint.......2007-06-16

The idea is great, the reality is that you may never get to see how good (or bad) this webcam is.
This is the most difficult software package i have ever had to deal with. After a 45 minute load time, you have 95% chance of getting a bad install and nothing is going to work. Install, uninstall, reinstall, nothing will help you. 12 hours later and the same error messages, over and over. To add interest, it destroyed the drivers for my scanner and printer. Oh joy, hope i can get those working again.
If you do get the install to work, you will be disappointed by the weak clip, which is intended to hold the cam in place atop your computer. It does, but just barely. Don't move your screen, or you will have a meeting of keyboard and cam.
As usual they have taken a great idea, cool looking design (it really is cool looking), and paired it with a POS software.
If you buy this, good luck and may the force be with you, you'll need it.

4 out of 5 stars It's Okay.......2007-05-21

The Creative Live! Video IM is a great buy. But, you don't really need to install the CD to use it with MSN or Yahoo messenger. The setup was not good for me. One of the drivers that i needed was not installed on my computer and it wasnt on the CD either. But, other than that i love this product. Its worth the money.

5 out of 5 stars Very Good.......2007-03-16

It's really clear, bright, and good enough for me to give 5 stars.

5 out of 5 stars outstanding quality for the price!.......2007-01-27

There might be better cameras on the market, which cost much more, but for the price the Imwebcam is great. The picture us sharp and clean. The installation was easy. I would recommend this to anyone who was interested in a quality camera for a good price.

3 out of 5 stars A fair price..........2007-01-26

Very easy instalation!!

It's a good first web cam, but a 1.3 Mpixel could be a better choice.

Love the Webcam, inexpensive and so affordable that I could send one to all my children and grandchildren that live all over the US.. Makes it like we were just right beside each other. Camera is good quality for the money.

            5 out of 5 stars good webcam.......2007-04-21


            easy to set up. clear picture. really nice for a low end webcam.

            5 out of 5 stars its almost like being there!.......2007-03-20

            i use this to talk with my granddaughter. although the resolution is not perfect my granddaughter has been able to recognize me since she was 12 months old. It is so wonderful to be able to see her smiles and laughter and we are able to sing songs together and we can show each other some of our favorite things even though we are hundreds of miles apart. When i go to visit there is no "getting to know you time" as she knows me via the internet and runs into my arms. I recommend this product to anyone who wants to keep in touch with someone over the miles.

            1 out of 5 stars No Windows Vista Driver Planned.......2007-03-08

            I bought this about 6 months ago. Now that I have installed Windows Vista on my computer, this webcam is a paperweight. Creative has decided NOT to provide a Windows Vista driver for this webcam. DO NOT BUY this if you plan to upgrade to Windows Vista.

            5 out of 5 stars Creative Labs Web cam.......2007-02-28

            I had absolutely no problem with this installation. I am using Windows XP and it was easy to set up.

            1 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.......2007-02-10

            We bought two Creative Labs WebCams and we could not get the sound to work on either one. (one was for grandma). We worked with Creative Labs to try to get it resolved and never could get the sound to work at all. By the time we got done working with Creative Labs, we passed the return time with Amazon, and Creative Labs would do NOTHING to help us. Now we are stuck with two useless web cams..... TERRIBLE customer service. What should have been a wonderful Christmas gift turned out to be a pain in the you know what all around. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY!!!

              Wouldn't it be nice if you could keep an eye on your home or business no matter where you roam? With the Creative Live! Wireless Camera you can do exactly that, plus a whole lot more. In fact, the Creative Live! Wireless is one of the first easy-to-install Internet cameras on the market,

              Setting up your Live! Wireless Camera is an easy, three step process.


              The system consists of a camera unit and a wireless server that connects to your home network. View larger.


              The camera is designed to be placed anywhere in your home or business. View larger.


              Creative Internet Camera Center software lets you monitor up to four cameras at once. View larger.
              allowing you to watch over your home or business from anywhere you have an internet connection. In fact, you can even monitor your property from an Internet-enabled mobile phone.

              The Live! Wireless couldn't be easier to install. Detailed, step-by-step instructions get you up and running in minutes. At the heart of the system is the Live! Wireless Server, which connects to your home wired or wireless network. Wireless networking with the Live! Wireless Server is compatible with the 802.11 b/g, or "Wi-Fi" standard. Meanwhile, you can also connect the server to your network router via an included ethernet cable.

              Once the wireless server is connected to your network, all you have to do is connect the Live! Wireless camera to the server via the server's USB port. The camera is small and lightweight and it includes a multi-attach base that lets you set up the unit virtually anywhere. The camera features a high quality 640 x 480 (VGA) sensor for crystal-clear images.

              With the hardware set up, next you simply insert the CD into your PC's CD-ROM drive, follow the on-screen instructions, and you'll have the camera ready for remote monitoring in no time. Once you're up and running, you'll know right away when your camera sees something odd. There's no need to constantly check in with your Live! Wireless camera, as you'll receive an alert via email when your camera senses motion in the area. Plus, with the bundled Creative Internet Camera Center software, you can view up to four cameras from four different locations on one screen.

              Thanks to Creative's secure server, you can create your own private, secure web address for remote monitoring. Set up an easy-to-remember web address where you'll go to access your camera -- and see what it sees. For example, you can set up an address such as "www.yourname.creativeddns.com" and then point your browser there to access your camera. What's more, you get free, lifetime remote monitoring services using the Creative server. The Live! Wireless system allows you to set up as many as four guest accounts for logging into the camera remotely.

              The Live! Wireless system is much more than just a security camera. With the Live! Wireless camera tethered directly to your PC via a USB connection, you can use the camera as a dedicated webcam. The camera works seamlessly with Yahoo! Messenger, as well as other popular instant messaging applications, and allows you to add live video to your Internet chat.

              The Live! Wireless system boasts one more nifty feature that's sure to please. The wireless server has a second USB port that works with all Creative flash drives and many other flash drives. Simply connect your favorite flash drive to the Wireless Server's USB port, access your website remotely, and drag and drop the files to your local PC.
