The benefits of having a Webcam.

Webcams make it easy to illustrate things visually to the person you are talking to. This makes the webcam a very versatile device for home or office use. 

Personal Relationships
A great advantage of using a webcam is you can keep in touch with your family & loved ones, while seeing their faces and expressions. It is a more personal experience than a normal tele conference and a better way to maintain long distance relationships.

Training & Education
Webcams make distance learning easier and more accessible as students can request to speak to their lecturers via a webcam. The lecturer can explain certain concepts visually using diagrams and  sketches. Currently online training session or study group is very common on using video conferencing.

Work
Through the use of webcams, people who work from home won't feel isolated from their colleagues. Through video conferencing, people from across the world can work together on a project. For those who are traveling around the world for work also benefit from the use of a webcam for attending their meeting. 




The thing you should know before you buy a webcam.

Although laptops comes with built-in webcams, there are many reasons to get an external one. Especially when you need to do training webinars, business online meetings,  video podcasts,  getting the right high-quality webcam does the matters.

1. What You Need
High resolution is essential for most usages. Look for a video capture resolution of at least 1080p for high-definition video capture. The lower the resolution, the grainier the image looks on the screen.
Frame rate per second
A high frame rate is also important, because frame rates produce images that stutter and periodically freeze on the screen. A frame rate of 30 fps or higher is recommended. With 60 fps being ideal, but the prices will be higher than normal.

2. What You Should Get
The type of lens affects webcam performance, stick with a glass lens, which improves performance without significantly raising the price.
Using webcam in a darkened room, auto-focusing and automatic light-adjustment technologies are very useful.
Look for a webcam that takes still images that are at least 2 megapixels and 15-megapixel captures are common. Full directional microphones, which record from every direction around the camera, this can be found in most mid-range and high-end webcams.
