While working on my next webcam project i’ve found a hardware issue with the Labtec V-UH13 webcam. Now initially I used this model as it was just a spare one I had kicking around but I got another one as it’s cheap and I liked the ease with which it could be dismantled and rewired and also it’s compactness when out of it’s housing. However i’ve found that there is a delay before a picture can be taken ie it’s needs to initialize which is a bit of a nightmare as there’s no point having a camera taking stills if it’s going to take a few seconds to ‘warm up’. My sweex desktop and spare logitech pro work fine straight away but i’m not going to pull these apart. So my next job is to find another compact webcam that’s going to be suitable for my needs. Sigh….
