Webcams

Web cameras, or simply known as webcams, are digital cameras that feed or record images or videos that are usually installed in a desktop or a notebook computer. Webcams broadcast or feed live images to a computer using local access network, WiFi, Ethernet, USB cable and all other networking facilities.

Since webcams are very affordable, it is often used for personal video phone calls or even ideal for small business video telephony or video calls and even the enterprise-level conferences and webcasts. Also, webcams have become an ideal tool for closed-circuit television camera or CCTVs for securing business establishments, due to its versatility and low maintenance. Webcams are also ideal for video relay service for people with disabilities, communicating through sign language over the video call. Due to its multiple purposes, webcams have influenced the modern-day society.

The development of webcam started at Cambridge University with a camera pointing at the Trojan Room coffee pot—and thus became an inspiration for developing it. By 1994, Logitech’s QuickCam became the first commercial webcam that entered the market.

Webcams became a popular tool, not only in video teleconferencing, but also became an inspiration for some reality TV shows and webcasting. Gradually, webcams are now being integrated at notebook computers by manufacturers for convenience.
