Advantages of the webcam:
Webcams are usually cheaper than a standard video camera and allow for face-to-face communication online, making it easy to illustrate things visually to the person you are talking to. This makes the webcam a very versatile device for home or office use.
Disadvantages of the webcam:
A webcam connected to your computer makes it possible for a hacker to use the webcam to spy on you. Whether the hacker is doing it for entertainment or for industrial espionage, it's a definite privacy issue at a minimum. If you still need to have a webcam, keep your computer as secure as possible and consider using a webcam with a light that lets you know when its active, unplugging it when you aren't using it or putting a piece of tape or a sticky note over its lens when you aren't using it.
