Picture quality isn't necessarily as important as being able to see what happened. Would anyone who owns this recommend using it for that purpose?

I dont recommend buying this watch because the push buttons are very cheaply made and two of my buttons came off rendering the watch camera useless.

It's not useless, but I would not recommend purchasing b/c Looxcie has pretty much stopped supporting its consumer line of wearbles. I also found the video to be of poor quality even when set to record in HD. Go with a newer cam.

Not sure how that would help. It is not an issue of video quality. The problem is the zoom function stopped working. The zoom did work for two days, then quit working.

On the average, no. The advantage of this is ease of use and low profile. Also consider what you're trying to do, you can get motion 'video' from this but it's not super - good enough for the security camera I built - delay is too great to be applicable to most motion needs. It's mainly useful for taking stills whether you make your own handheld camera or put it on a robot. If I were buying again and needed something for motion I'd use a $30 webcam instead but if I just needed stills I'd stick with this.

I bought it because I saw it on an Airplane repo show. They used it for looking in hangars (garages) and it has worked well for me. This is a cheaper version though. I'm sure the pricier ones have better resolution.

I would have to agree with the other coments. This is more of a monitorng/security camera. I would not use this camera in a business enviroment.

it works fine as long as your eyes can see it. if it's an environment even af fails to lock on, you are probably better off with liveview + magnification

I'm sorry but I haven't tried that yet . I am kind of disappointed by the quality of the video myself . Not too enthused by it . It can't record high speed action like it's said to be able to do.

Sorry, I can't offer any feedback, but I found it funny that someone else is having the same dilemna with the same 2 cameras. So I will also be intersted in hearing any input as well. Is the video capability really worth it?

Hi,I've just tested the camera and for my needs it ok. I have logitech pro 9000 on my desktop that can stream hd video but the picture quality depends on internet connection. I use my laptop when I travel and I've never connected to network that can stream hd video. So the picture was good enough to be seen, the sound is ok. To sum up: For communication via video is good enough. If you want crisp picture you'll want to buy extra camera.

you can use it instead of your webcam it might have better resolution... check it out

It can produce fairly good images at low light but resolution is not too high to begin with and there needs to be some light; pitch black and it won't see anything (no surprise). If identifying faces is important, I would not use this product unless it is in a well-lit area.

I would not recommend it. For a little more money, you shoukd invest in a better quality camera that will last longer.

I have not, but it's a great tool to capture those incidents if you needed to report. My device is more peace of mind knowing the video is documenting my driving environment.

I use it to monitor my dog when I'm gone, very adequate for that. I do not get color when I am watching remotely. But video is very clear. There is a setting for higher quality video

I finally took a video and yes, it takes nice video. I do not know an exact light reading but the videos indoors with little light are poor quality. It needs a well lit room or sunshine for a good video.

It works well for close up view. I don't use it that often, but I am glad to have it when needed. So far, I'm happy with it.
