Companies are seeking cheaper ways to operate in these economically difficult times in which we live and FaceVsion are right in there to assist with cheaper methods of web conferencing.

The TouchCam N1 is a Skype certified camera that can sustain 720p HD video performance and because its classified as being certified for Skype there is no need for drivers or software - just plug in and its ready to go! I've found in the past with previous web cameras that they require software in order to work and often the CD is misplaced - in general having to load software before using a device can be a irritating. Taking this out of the equation is a worthwhile thing, its going to appeal to a lot of individuals.



One of the advantages to the TouchCam having a built in H.264 encoder is that it takes unnecessary stress off the CPU load. Video encoding demands CPU power usually which would take a sustained effect on lower powered computers like netbooks and laptops. With the TouchCan N1 we have no such problems.

For the home/family user the TouchCam N1 is quite expensive, priced at £69 it isn't going to sit well with most. Ideally the TouchCam, as already outlined is directed towards businesses wanting to execute web conferencing on a budget. For this application its a great offering. It's build quality is excellent and performance is also pleasing.
