The Creative Live! Motion is an elegant and neat-looking webcam, and is one of the few ones with a motorised drive. The smooth and silent motor can swivel the camera 200 degrees horizontally and 105 degrees vertically. It has a claw at the bottom that acts as a stand and can also be used to secure it to your monitor.

The cam supports video capture at 640 x 480 at 30 fps, and it can shoot still photos at 1.3 MP. The image quality isn’t extraordinary, though. There’s even 4x digital zoom, which actually produces decent image quality at moderate zoom levels. Using the 76-degree ultra-wide-angle lens, you can take panoramic photographs!

Face tracking is a useful feature, and this camera offers two modes: continuous, in which it constantly tracks your face, and smart, in which it moves only after you stop moving.

A mono headset completes the voice-chat setup. The software bundle consists of Photo Manager-a photo managing tool, ArcSoft Video Impression-a video editing tool, and SightSpeed-Creative’s online video-conferencing utility which allows you to remote-control the camera.
