We all see those cheap webcams on ebay, well if you have ever looked for a iSight or any webcam hundreds of these aveo ones pop up, so i thought hmm ill buy one try it out.

It looked great when i took this video for the test, but it sucks, the quality overall sucks, it looked decent on ustream thou, so it all depends on what your using it for.

First thing i did when i opend it was install the driver, and that was a bad mistake, lots and lots of blue screens for me today, ha, so heres a note, when you buy a cheap webcam, dont install the driver, second just cause it says 8mp, doesnt mean it lol thats just a sticker saying it. but besides that its a fraction of the cost of a iSight i mean it cost me 8 dollars, and a isight is over 300, so yea thats the only pro, you get what you pay for on a cheap webcam.

Some examples of a cheap webcam(If links expire this means you are reading this a month after it was written)

Example one

Example two

Example three

My final thoughts on this buy is you get what you pay for, but if you need something just to skype and ustream with, this will work fine for you, make sure to have good lighting, and dont install the disc it comes with, with the chinese symbol for driver on it. So 2 out of 5.
