QuickCam

QuickCam is a line of webcam video camera products originally produced by Connectix in 1994 and acquired by Logitech in 1998.

It produced 16 shades of gray at a resolution of 320×240 pixels, and could record video at about 15 frames per second; it cost $100.

The software that originally shipped with the camera included QuickMovie for recording motion pictures and QuickPICT for capturing still images.

Many recent models implement the USB video device class standard and work under Mac OS without additional drivers.
