Advantages of the webcam:
Compact resolution: At 640×480 (VGA), the files are small and lightweight, making them easy to store and transfer without eating up bandwidth. Low file size: PNG (~580 kB) and JPEG (~263 kB) outputs are efficient for quick uploads or basic documentation. Standard compatibility: VGA resolution is widely supported across devices and platforms, ensuring plug-and-play usability. USB2.0 interface: Reliable connection with most computers, no special drivers needed thanks to UVC (USB Video Class) compliance. Color capture: RGB mode with ~98,887 colors provides decent color representation for basic video calls or monitoring. Lightweight bitrate: 1.97 MB/s keeps streaming manageable even on slower connections.
Disadvantages of the webcam:
Low megapixel count: At 0.31 MP, image sharpness is poor compared to modern HD webcams. Low frame rate: 8 FPS results in choppy video, unsuitable for smooth conferencing or motion capture. Poor low-light performance: Lightness ~48% and luminosity ~52% suggest average handling of dim environments.
