Q: When I use DS3303U on Microsoft NetMeeting (or other video
conferencing software), why is there so much pause and delay in the
audio and video?

It is due to the bottleneck of the Internet bandwidth, ISP does not provide
domestic Internet users with high bandwidth thus video-mail will be an
alternate solution!

Q: Lens cleaning.

The lens of the PC Camera DS3303U should rarely need cleaning, but if
needed, then a dry lint-free cloth is recommended.

Q: Lighting conditions.

When setting up a PC Camera DS3303U and subject, try to place the PC
Camera DS3303U between the light source and the subject. Where this is
not convenient, try to keep the light source out of the PC Camera
DS3303U's view. Like a camcorder or other PC Camera, your PC Camera
DS3303U requires a certain light level to produce well images and images
with good color. A PC Camera DS3303U position lit with daylight is ideal
for the PC Camera DS3303U; also bright fluorescent lighting should give
good results. Subdued indoor lighting is sometimes too dark for the PC
Camera DS3303U in built auto-exposure controller. In this case, you can
experiment with the lighting options in the Fine Tuning dialog to try and
improve the picture.

Q: How does it differ from a digital camera?

The main difference between a PC camera and a digital camera is that a
digital camera can only take individual snapshots. A PC camera, on the
other hand, can not only take individual snapshots, it can also record and
send video mail, communicate as a video phone or do complete
videoconferencing with the appropriate software.

Q: What kind of software needed to playback the videos e-mail?

You don’t need any extra software.
