1.3 Mega Pixels

1.3 Mega Pixels is the highest resolution available for a webcam. With it you can use your webcam as a camera for taking high-quality photographs that are even good enough for printing larger sized high quality images.

Pixel Plus

Pixel Plus is a digital picture processing technology that increases the number of lines and the number of pixels. The result is razor sharp pictures with incredible detail and depth, every time from any source.

Precision glass lens

Sharp, crisp and clear. Precision glass lens guarantees you high image quality for all applications - from snapshot to video messaging. The finished lenses are coated with a special film to extend their working life and protect them from wear and tear and dust accumulation.

Digital Natural Motion

Philips invented Digital Natural Motion to eliminate juddering effects that are visible with moving picture content. Digital Natural Motion estimates motion in the picture and corrects juddering movements in both broadcast and recorded movie material (such as DVD). The resulting smooth motion reproduction and excellent sharpness take the viewing experience to a higher level.

Add top-quality video

The webcam has been designed to add video to your internet calls so you can see as well as hear your friends and family online. It works easily and instantly and is entirely future-proof!

Webcasting

This camera is perfect for webcasting thanks to the supremely high quality of the images it takes. Share your video with friends and family or broadcast it out across the internet.

Motion detection

With the special Motion Detection feature you can record anything that happens in your home while you're out. Set the camera to motion detection mode when you leave the house and it will only start recording when movement is detected in the room.

8x digital zoom

Zoom in and out to get the perfect framing for any image. You control the zoom entirely via the onscreen interface while you're looking at the image so you can adjust it perfectly.
