Sometimes when we talk to people on the phone we can not see their expressions and in that way we have lost of the communication thats taking place. The answer to that problem is now available in several designs, and are video phones and they are made available by packet8.net.
They have 2 styles I am most taken by and my favorite Video Phone is pictured here.The phone in the picture is the Tango VTA464, the color is the graphite, its also available in white.
Something that surprises me most about the device is that there is no lag in the product, the voice matches the video. Often in products on the market its akin to watching a poorly dubbed movie. Not so here!
Interesting too is that the buttons on the unit are clearly labeled as to their function. The user interface is simple to understand and easy to navigate through. Set up is a breeze, it could be done by anyone, even those with no technical understanding whatsoever.
Something I never thought of, this phone has a “remote surveillance mode” indicating to me that it would be possible to set it up, leave home and somehow view what the phone is viewing. That sounds worth exploring.
The other phone that got my attention is the DV326 videophone. The auto focus on this unit is crisp and clear from 2 inches to infinity. Its a tabltop type unit, like you would see on an executive desk. It averages 30 frames per second video rate. Its alot like watching television. The screen is 5 inches and has a tilt that varies from 23 to 90 degrees. This unit offers picture-in-picture, and stores 100 numbers. You can choose to not transmit video, or to send pictures.
This is all available on packet8’s high speed Voice over Internet Protocol network which allows you unlimited local and long distance, and free calling to 10 other nations, Canada, Puerto Rico, Guam, US Virgin Islands, France, Italy, Ireland, Spain and United Kingdom. With very low rates to other international locales. Now waiting for off peak hours or night and weekends, call anyone anywhere, anytime! And be able to use Video Phone.
