Ecamm Network BT-1 Bluetooth Web Cam

Although all MacBooks and iMacs have built-in iSight Web cameras, they're in a fixed position, and Apple doesn't sell standalone iSights anymore. We like the Ecamm BT-1 Wireless Webcam because it expands the capabilities of the Webcam.

The BT-1 isn't tethered to your computer—it's equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology that lets you place it up to 30 feet away from your Mac. It shoots H.264 video at 640-by-480-pixel resolution, and records stereo AAC audio at 48 KHz. Thanks to its mini flexible tripod, you have the freedom to adjust the position, pan, and tilt. It's also mountable on any standard camera tripod to give you further flexibility with your filming—perfect for shooting embarrassing videos of yourself dancing to Romanian pop music. It works with iChat, Skype, and many other programs, and has an internal battery that you can charge using a USB cable.

[Available in late Q1 2009 for $150.]
