Unsatisfied:
#microsoft_lifecam_hd_6000 The Microsoft LifeCam HD-6000 is a Useless Web cam. The picture turns Blurry every 10 seconds and needs 6 more seconds to come back, this happen over and over again. The reason is that this camera is missing a lens. Camera leads to higher CPU usage that means to overheat the processor, endangering your computer. The reason is that this camera is missing an onboard processor (no hardware encoder ). RETURNED ASAP AND BOUGHT A LOGITEC.
