3Com has expanded its line of WebCam products with the launch of its HomeConnect PC WebCam Lite, designed to enable businesses and families to have more fun.

The PC WebCam Lite is the newest member of 3Com`s growing line of digital cameras. It features user-friendly, plug and play set-up and high quality, still-picture and motion video capturing.

"The WebCam Lite now puts video across the Internet within the reach of many more businesses and consumers," says Henk van Eck, Network Consultant Manager at 3Com SA. "3Com has seen the demand for video products increase over the past year and now brings this jewel of a product to South Africa at an even more reduced cost.

"The PC Digital WebCam Lite is a perfect first camera for Internet users. It enables a family to instantly share photos and videos with relatives and friends.

"With this new product, 3Com is offering more people the opportunity to enjoy digital video and photography, with the ability to create web albums and send photo Webcards over the Internet," says van Eck.

"3Com is committed to expanding the HomeConnect product line to make video communication more affordable."

Van Eck maintains that with the PC Digital WebCam Lite, 3Com makes it easy for people, who require less mobility in their video needs but who also want a high-quality WebCam at a lower price, to enjoy the benefits of video communications. For example, retired people who wish to keep in contact with friends and family from the comfort of their own home.

"This is a low cost way for parents to have a web camera for all the family. With the WebCam Lite 3Com has reduced the price, while maintaining high quality video and added additional extras, including new accessories such as, a Travel Pak, a Laptop Clip and a Digital Lens Pak.

"3Com is constantly driving the innovation of new multi-media devices world-wide and is giving users more ways to become more productive while personalising their interactive Web experience."

Van Eck adds that tests have shown that through its built-in progressive VGA CCD image sensor, the 3Com HomeConnect PC Digital WebCam Lite delivers the highest video quality available on the WebCam market today.
