Question 1

Does this cam have a built in microphone?

Accepted Answer

Yes this camera has a built in mic. It works fine if you are in a relatively quiet place, but the mic tends to pick up everything in the background. If you are in a noisy place then the mic will be transmitting the vast majority of the extra noise.

Question 2

Is this device compatible with Windows 8?

Accepted Answer

It should be, since it is a newer webcam I don't see why it wouldn't.

Question 3

what is the usb cord length? (need camera with at least 6 foot cord)

Accepted Answer

Cord is 4 1/2 ft.  So you would need an extender USB cord if you need it longer.

Question 4

what is the unversial attachment base made of ?

Accepted Answer

It's actually made from multiple metal joints that are coated with rubber. It's very nice actually. You can bend the joints however you'd like and they easily stay in that position with no 'flex-back'. Because it's metal it also gives the whole thing a nice weight to it, so it stays fairly firm where you place it.

Question 5

How good is the picture in the dark?

Accepted Answer

I haven't taken any pictures or video in the dark as of yet. From what have seen on other live camera feeds and online it doesn't appear that bad.

Question 6

Is this compatible w / Windows 10 ?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this camera is Win 10 compatible for both 32 and 64-bit installations.
Hope that helps!

Question 7

osx compatable?

Accepted Answer

This is a USB Video Class device, so it should at least be supported by OSX's generic UVC drivers.

On a Win7 system you do get the (not particularly useful) 'Microsoft Lifecam' software, which may or may not have an OSX equivalent; but the camera itself should work without incident.
