Philips SPC 610NC

The SPC 610NC from Philips is a webcam specifically designed for notebooks.

Thanks to the flexible stand, it can be positioned at just about any angle.

The 640 x 480 camera (digital stills can be taken at 800 x 600) sits behind a slide-back cover.

Pull this cover further back and a bright LED is revealed – useful when taking photos and partaking in videoconferences.

Video is recorded at 30fps (frames per second), although what you achieve during online video chats will depend on the speed of your Internet connection.

At £40, it costs a little more than we expected, but if you’re after a webcam for your notebook this is a versatile model, and the built-in LED is a bonus.
