Argus PC 300 Camera for only $29.95

One of the fine points of owning a modern day personal computer with high speed internet access is the ability to exchange up to 30 frames per second video over the internet for a nominal start-up cost. Hey, That’s Real time. The simplest most affordable way I have found to do this is by using the Argus PC300 CAM Camera.

The PC300 is a 300K pixel camera that can transmit a video image at 30 frames per second in CIF mode. The Camera also includes a built-in microphone, precise focus, video e-mail, video calling capability, webcasting, video monitoring, instant messaging and it’s Internet ready. You can use it with your favorite chat software like Aol Instant Messanger, Microsoft Instant Messenger, or Yahoo Instant Messenger.

Load the software and plug the camera into your USB port and enjoy.

Oh, the Best Part is the camera only costs $29.95

“It’s certainly a true value for the money.”
