![]() Each of the Cam Center’s six tabs fronts a different task – video recording, photo capture, motion detection, remote monitoring, time lapse video, and your collection of recordings – presented with some basic instructions and a large start button that makes you feel right at home with what are definitely some fairly advanced-sounding features. Live! Cam Center SoftwareĪlthough the Optia AF drivers include a piece of software called the Live! Cam Console that handles all of the camera’s settings and adjustments, it’s the Live! Cam Center program that handles the Optia AF’s multitude of video and still options. ![]() There’s also a blue in-use LED that rings the side of the body attached to the camera mount, coupled with two built-in adaptive array microphones and an auto-focus lens with a 4.36 mm maximum aperture and a 2.0 MP sensor. That versatility extends to the camera’s body, too: matte plastic construction that doesn’t hold fingerprints and gives the Optia AF a durable feel, coupled with a camera mount that’s simultaneously secure and easy to use by incorporating a hinged flap for use on flatter screens with a U-shaped body for use on wider screens. ![]() As an added bonus, swiveling the camera down so it faces the camera mount disables the Optia AF without having to unplug it from the USB port. ![]() I appreciated the thoughtful design of the Optia AF from the moment I took the camera out of the box and saw how Creative had attached the Optia AF’s body to a plastic mounting system via a ball and socket hinge, which has about ten degrees of lateral motion and 270 degrees of vertical motion, eliminating a lot of the positioning problems I’ve encountered elsewhere and giving the Optia AF an immediate edge in situations where versatility (like moving from a laptop screen to a desktop monitor) is the rule.
