Web Camera Recommendations

Shelley

Random question here.... What type of web cams or desktop cams do you use with sitelink? Is there one that works better with Sitelink?
Our desktop camera is not compatible with windows 10 so we are looking to upgrade but all the ones I am finding online don't take stills photos. 
Would love any recommendations.

Most webcams should handle stills even if they don't specify. We have tried a few cameras and scanners, though, that work in windows, but Sitelink couldn't access because of driver issues (Not Sitelink's fault). 

My personal experience with windows 10 and webcams and sound drivers has been pretty poor. Windows updates often break or remove support all together.

Having said that, anything relatively recent should work fine, just keep the receipt handy if you have to return it.

What do you use the Webcam for?

@Faye We use it to snap a shot of drivers license / id. You can also snap a pic of your customer if necessary (with their permission, of course) for security or future identification. 

The webcam is smaller than a scanner and can be kept at the desk instead of across the room in a larger office.

Thank you!

We use Logitech cameras at all of our locations. Our touchscreen computers (secondary pcs) have built-in cameras tho. We also run Windows 10.

We've had good luck with Logitech webcams. The only issue is the length of time it takes to focus for snapshots of IDs being uploaded to Sitelink...something to do with the light reflecting on the gloss of the license itself, I believe.
