At Reboot IT, we adhere to strict quality guidelines, ensuring that our refurbished products are not the same as used or secondhand items. We meticulously clean, test, and assess each device, replacing worn parts with high-quality components.

Description

Microsoft LifeCam HD-3000 — 720p HD Webcam

The Microsoft LifeCam HD-3000 is a compact 720p widescreen USB webcam with TrueColor automatic exposure and a built-in noise-cancelling microphone. Its flexible universal mount fits laptop lids, monitors, and desks. Backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.

Key Benefits

  • 720p HD widescreen video: Records 16:9 widescreen at 1280x720, a clear improvement on the VGA-class sensors still built into many older laptops.
  • TrueColor automatic exposure: Adjusts exposure automatically so faces stay properly lit against a bright window rather than falling into silhouette.
  • Built-in noise-cancelling microphone: The integrated microphone suppresses background room noise, making it usable for meetings without a separate headset.
  • Universal flexible mount: The hinged base grips a laptop lid or monitor top and also sits flat on a desk, so one camera moves between machines easily.
  • True plug and play: Standard USB video class operation means Windows and macOS recognise it without driver installation or configuration.
  • Compact and portable: Small and light enough to live in a laptop bag, which suits hot-desking and staff who move between sites.

Performance in Use

The LifeCam HD-3000 is the practical, no-nonsense member of the LifeCam family. It records 720p rather than 1080p, which for video calling is rarely the limiting factor — conferencing platforms compress the stream well below the camera capability in most real meetings. What matters more day to day is that the image is correctly exposed and the microphone is usable, and on both counts this camera does its job.

TrueColor exposure is the feature that shows up most in ordinary offices. The common problem is a window behind the user, which silhouettes them on cheaper webcams. Automatic exposure compensation lifts the subject out of that backlight, which is the difference between appearing present in a meeting and appearing as a shadow.

This is a sensible choice for equipping several desks at once, or for a user whose laptop camera has failed or was never fitted. It is not a content-creation camera and does not pretend to be — for streaming or recorded video work, a 1080p model with a glass lens is the better tool.

Frequently Asked Questions

What video resolution does it record?

The LifeCam HD-3000 captures 720p HD in 16:9 widescreen. If you need 1080p, the LifeCam Studio is the higher-resolution model in the same range.

Does it work with Teams and Zoom?

Yes. It is a standard USB webcam and works with Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, and other applications on Windows and macOS.

Does it have a microphone?

Yes. A noise-cancelling microphone is built in, so it can be used for calls without a separate headset.

Do I need to install drivers?

No. The camera is USB video class compliant, so Windows and macOS recognise it automatically when plugged in.

Does it include a privacy shutter?

No. There is no physical privacy shutter fitted. A separate webcam cover can be added if required.

What are the shipping options?

Free standard shipping across Australia.

All-in-one Solution for Home Office

I was looking for an in-expensive all-in-one solution for my home office to replace my existing desktop and monitor. I found this EliteOne 800 on reboot IT for under $200. I wasn't sure what to expect. It arrived within two days!!!! I upgraded the RAM, replaced the HDD and installed Windows 11. This is unbeatable value and was the cheapest price online. Coupled with a 3-month warranty, Reboot IT are by far the best online refurbished retailer I have used. Awesome!
