Designed to move automatically and manually, WebCam Live! Motion tilts and pans vertically and horizontally to give a panoramic view of up to 200° horizontally, and 105° vertically on its axis. With Smart Face Tracking, the camera automatically follows you as you move about, keeping you within the video always. It even tracks multiple persons, so everyone can get in on the conversation. The Motion has a 76° field of view too for maximum versatility.
A 640 x 480 CCD sensor is standard along with a flexible mounting system and USB 2.0 interface, external audio headset. A Panoramic One-Click Photo Snap function allows for one-click panoramic shots up to 200 degrees. No built-in mic is mentioned.

The packaging on this camera is very deceptive. It SUGGESTS that you can chat, implying that there is a mic, but, in fact, it has no mic. If you like silent movies -or- you want to chat while holding a mic or with a headset on, this is the device for you.
