| | | | (...) I was referring to the Xcam2 in my last posts. I almost bought the Xcam unit (Square one) for the same reason. But I have the Xcam Anywhere. How do you find the picture quality? I just received my Xcam2 (Broken) and am waiting for it's (...) (25 years ago, 26-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics)

After seeing the posts about a "dark image" when running too little power to it, I keep thinking I should get a variable power supply (...) (25 years ago, 26-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics)

All those cheap PC webcams have the same problem. The Lego camera will have the same problem. (...) (25 years ago, 26-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics)
