In terms of resolution, the software offers a range of settings from 160x120 all the way up to 1,280x720 HD video, and you also get the option to toggle TrueColor, an autobrightness assistant that optimizes your shot in poor lighting conditions.
Once installed, the Microsoft LifeCam software acts a central hub for changing settings like image quality and microphone volume, video resolution, and image adjustments. As is always the case with Microsoft Webcams, the HD-6000 won't work with a system running Mac OS. We should also note that Microsoft gives stringent system requirements for OS (Windows 7, Vista, XP SP2 or higher), processor (Intel Dual-Core 1.6GHz higher with 1GB of RAM or Intel Dual-Core 3.0GHz with 2GB of RAM), and hard-drive capacity (at least 1.5GB free).

That said, you do have to install the Microsoft LifeCam software in the box before your computer will recognize the camera, but we recommend checking for driver updates on the Microsoft Web site prior to using it. Finally, a small button on top activates Windows Live Messenger, although the camera also works with other chat programs like Google Chat, AIM, and Skype. The wide-angle lens rotates up and down on a small axis and the entire camera swivels 360 degrees to allow for a full rotation point of view.
Measuring just 1.1 inch wide and 2.44 inches long, the Microsoft LifeCam HD-6000 is purposefully small and features a thin plastic clip on the bottom that situates it on top of your laptop screen while you chat.
