Easy and fast. The
USB connect PC Cams offer many advantages.
The USB connection offers fast data speeds for quality video resolution
and frame rates for Windows PC’s. In
addition, with USB you can connect many devices, such as a printer, PC Cam,
scanner, etc. Most computers with USB connections come with at least two
available USB ports. If you purchased a
computer with a Windows 98 or later operating system, you will almost certainly
have available USB ports on your computer.
The USB port connection interface on your computer is a
slot type plug in, rectangular in shape, approximately 1/8 inch by ¼ inch. You can locate these ports easily by looking
at the back of your computer. Usually,
there will be two plug in USB ports side by side.
The
USB connect PC Cams only have one wire (cable)
to connect. These PC cameras are
truly “plug and play.”
