I am looking for a Web Cam model which I would be using under our cafes... I am replacing few older ones with Vista compatible ones...

My needs are,

  • Looking for as low k pixle as possible (may be bellow 300k pixle)
  • Should have vista support and web site where I can download its driver from
  • No need for Lights (like night cam)

few years back I found cheap frontech / enter low resolution ones, but which was a really big mistake as when now i try to shift to vista platform I see none of the CAM's can find drivers for vista and no option to download drivers for those models from those company web sites...

:(

So can any one please help me out by suggeting some web cam models under my specifications... as here at Kolkata local dealers usually ask me to provide a model number (they are used to it) as when asked to show low resolution cams they are unable to show me any well branded models !!!
