The LifeCam is a lineup of webcams from Microsoft for PC users marketed since 2006. Various models and series of webcams are designed for either laptops or desktops. VX Series[edit]LifeCam VX-3000History[edit]
The VX series of Microsoft LifeCam debuted on 13 June 2006,[1] and were available for sale in August 2006 as Microsoft's first entry into selling webcams, with only two models, the VX-3000 and VX-6000. One of the exclusive features include the integration with Windows Live Messenger, by having a Windows Live Call button that can be used to easily initiate a video call.
These models both feature a similar round body design, with a round base, known as the Universal Attachment Base.
The entire series was designed for desktop use, as it used a base for attaching it to a desktop monitor. All webcams of this series interface via USB.LifeCam VX-1000Specifications[edit]ModelReleasedVideo ResolutionImage SensorBuilt in MicrophoneRemarksVX-5002008 May[2]640 x 4800.3 MPNoVX-7002008 Aug[3]640 x 4800.3 MPYesSeems to be available in selected markets only.VX-800[4]Japan - 2009 Sept[5]
