The QuickCam VC is a bargain-priced peripheral that's easy to install and fun to use. The USB version of the QuickCam VC we tested for this review transmits the video signal and receives power via the single USB plug. A small support cradle is included for the camera, which also has a tripod socket on its underbelly.

The camera has a focus ring around the lens and a focus range from 1 inch to infinity. All it takes to get up an running with the QuickCam VC is to install the camera software, turn off the PC, plug in the camera, and turn the PC back on. Windows 95 recognizes the camera without further setup or configuration, and by the time your desktop is active the camera is ready to work.
