About the Zoom/Video Cam The Zoom/Video Cam is an affordable full-color full-motion digital camera for your PC. The Zoom/Video Cam enables you to easily send real-time video and video mail over standard phone lines or the Internet, add moving or still images to almost any computer document or presentation, and participate in video chats or business meetings through the Internet.* Video mail is powerful and easy to do. Just attach a video file to your e-mail to friends, family, or business associates. Zoom's video software automatically attaches a "player" application to outgoing video mail so that it can be viewed on a PC without special hardware or software.* Captured still images are ideal for Web design and desktop publishing. Video or stills can enhance manufacturing and engineering documentation, quality control, and remote problem-solving. Unlike other cameras that require the purchase of a separate video capture card, the Zoom/Video Cam package comes complete and ready to use with a Zoom/Video capture card, Windows 95 drivers, video application software, and a microphone. The Zoom/Video Cam plugs into the Zoom/Video capture card, which installs easily in any 16-bit ISA slot, enabling the Zoom/Video Cam to be used with a wide range of systems. With a Zoom/Video-ready faxmodem, such as the Zoom/FaxModem 56Kv (Model 2822), installation is even easier. Just plug the Zoom/Video Cam into the Zoom/Video jack of the faxmodem, configure, and you are ready to shoot. The Zoom/Video Cam uses an advanced CMOS array to provide high-resolution color live action video or point-and-click image capture. The Zoom/Video Cam focuses from 2 inches to infinity and features a 50ø wide-angle field of view that lets you capture an entire room. Its ergonomic design is at home on your monitor, desk, or just about anywhereand even includes a standard camera tripod screw mount. The Zoom/Video Cam is made and supported by Zoom Telephonics, Inc., an industry leader in telecommunications since 1977. Features Easy installation.
