NEW YORK, NY – (August 27, 2009) – Hercules,
a specialist in IT devices including multimedia speaker sets, webcams,
DJing solutions and consumer-friendly WiFi products, debuts a new era
of mini webcams for notebooks with the Hercules Dualpix HD720p.
This ultra-mobile high definition webcam solution brings 720p of high
definition resolution to the mobile user generation. Whether serving in
the military, a student studying abroad or a parent away from home,
this new breed of webcam will help you stay connected starting in early
September 2009 for the SRP $59.99 at Buy.com, NewEgg.com, Dell.com, Amazon.com and Walmart.com.

The
Hercules Dualpix HD720p has the capability of rotating on two axes for
the best angle, capturing pictures and angles unachievable by earlier
models of webcams. No matter how far away from home you are, with the
wide-angle auto focus lens, exceptional image quality even in low-light
conditions and a built-in microphone, you will feel like you are home
with your loved one. At the start of each chat session the Dualpix
HD720p will automatically rotate the picture angle and detect your
position, further angle adjustment during the chat session can be
achieved by using the

software.

secure attachment system that allows you to travel safely and move your
computer around as needed without the webcam coming loose. The two
rotational axes allow vertical or horizontal placement on the top or
the sides of the screen and the wide-angle lens shows the room behind
for the perfect video capture. It also features the Hercules Xtra
