The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Webcam recomendations for "Webex" type Video conferencing

Asked by RKoons in Computer Web Cameras, WebEx Conferencing Software

Tags: Is a $100.00 Webcam really enough

Just looking for some recommendations here based upon other user experience.

We have pretty much decided against the higher end Procom type point to point video conferencing solutions for our company. We feel that the cost for such a system would not be appropriate for the usage we have in mind.

Typically, we might do a couple meetings a month between our two offices, and hope to expand into multi-video meetings with clients in the future.

For now, we are just starting at the low end of the tech pool, just to get our feet wet, so-to-speak.

We are looking at a Webex type solution where we could host a meeting, and invite up to 6 video attendees at a time.

So far, I have heard good things about the Logitech series of cameras, such as the Webcam Pro 9000 for around $100.00.

Is this really all that is needed to get a respectable display in a video meeting?

Are there other options I should consider?

For now, we will basically have one camera being used by one person in Wisconsin, connecting to a meeting in Chicago where there will be another camera showing 8  10 attendees of the meeting in a conference room. We may opt to use some type of Web / PC based sound for voice, like a headset for the one guy in Wisconsin, and the cameras microphone for the conference room in Chicago. The other option is just to continue to user Speaker Phone like we do now, and only use Video through the PC/CAM.

Your thoughts would be appreciated.
