Webcams

GotoCamera works with all USB webcams (and integrated webcams) connected to computers running Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7. In general, any quality webcam (such as those made by Creative), should work well with GotoCamera. 

 

Based on our testing and "bang-for-the-buck" approach, we recommend the Creative Live! Cam Sync Webcam, which costs less than $25 on Amazon.

 

At the higher end of the scale, another camera we like is the Creative  VF0280 Live! Cam Optia AF 2.0 MP Web Cam with Auto Focus - this is an auto-focus camera so it's a bit more expensive. It worked well in our testing, and if you'd like a higher-end webcam, we think this is the one to go for. It's around $90 on Amazon.

 

USB extension cable

We strongly recommend that you use an active USB extension cable. This will give you the ability to place your webcam a fair distance from your computer. Amazon sells a number of these cables - try Cable A or Cable B. If either of these are out of stock, search on "active USB extension" - you'll find prices ranging from $15 all the way to $50. In our opinion, the higher priced cables aren't really worth the extra cash (which is why we haven't linked to them!).
