The Methods for You to Improve the Webcam Video Quality

March 15, 2011 - PRLog -- Adjusting for environmental factors
The webcam video quality can be affected by a number of external factors. Consider each of the following variables, and adjust as needed.

•Move the notebook to a convenient viewing position . Because your HP webcam is built into the display lid of the notebook, you can adjust the angle of the video feed. Likewise, you can move the notebook closer or further from the subject for a pleasant-looking image.

•Clean the lens of the webcam. Use a soft, lint-free cloth (not a tissue or any other paper cloth) and a mild cleaner, such as one used for eyeglasses, to clean the webcam lens. The webcam lens is built into the lid of the notebook.

•Adjust lighting. You may need to increase or decrease the amount of lighting in the room, or move the light source closer to or further from the subject. If the light is too close or too bright, the image may have an unpleasant glare or shadows. Avoid lighting that shines on the webcam, or strong lighting from behind the subject. Also, avoid fluorescent lights whenever possible because they can contribute to graininess and alter the color of the video.

•Move slowly on camera. Webcams are not designed to capture high-speed motions. Moving too quickly on camera can result in blurred footage.

•Minimize external noises. If possible, capture the video footage in a quiet room with the door closed, and with a minimum amount of background noise from machinery. HP notebooks with webcams have integrated microphones that are not designed to filter out excess background noise. If the integrated microphone is not sufficient for your needs, you can plug in an external microphone into the microphone jack on the computer.

•Indoor or Outdoor Use. The webcam is designed for indoor use where the light values are more consistent or can be controlled. When the webcam is used outdoors, the light may become very bright or there may be dramatic differences between light and dark areas of the image. The exposure time for an individual image may become very short, producing blurred or poor resolution images. This behavior is more noticeable on certain notebook models when the camera is designed to adapt to low-light conditions.

Cleaning the webcam lens to reduce distortion, spots, or a fuzzy picture

To clean the HP webcam lens, use a soft, non-abrasive cloth, such as a micro fiber screen dusting cloth. You can find a suitable screen-dusting cloth at a computer store. Gently rub the webcam lens with the cloth.
