  • Hi guys

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000E5SDM/ref=ase_adwords0e-21/202-0883330-8363043

    The above link is probably the standalone version of the webcam philips_toucam_ii_web_camera

    Which retails for about £24 in one store (although I suspect this is a rip off and the actual retail price is much lower)

    Saying that, it might be TOUCAM PRO II camera, retailing for £32 at pc world.

    Both these cameras look similar to the one on camgoo website.

    Yes it looks similar but it is neither of those.

    No the base is the same as the others. It is not the normal version. I believe it is an OEM version you cannot buy on its own. it is a PCVC810/00

    It comes up as a Toucam II when autodetected for me. No idea if it works on WinMe but it supports plug and play so I'd just plug it in first and give it a go.
