Hammacher Schlemmer R2-D2 Wireless Webcam

The R2-D2 Wireless Web Camera.Commemorating the 30th anniversary of the original iconic Star Wars film, this replica of the headstrong astromech droid is a full-function, 628 x 528 pixel web camera that wirelessly transmits real-time video and audio to a computer, and has worldwide remote access capabilities, allowing you to control R2-D2's movements and access the web camera from a laptop or a PC anywhere in the world. Unlike lesser real-time cameras that are tethered to a computer, R2-D2 is controlled by a lightsaber-shaped remote that prompts the droid to move forward, backward, left, and right (including 360° spins), and a sensor located on R2-D2's front leg detects desk or table ledges and automatically stops the droid from proceeding w hile signaling an audible warning. The web camera takes digital photos and snap shots, and it has voice record, zoom, and tilt functions. R2-D2 says 11 different phrases and astromech droid sounds from the original Star Wars soundtrack. Web camera requires six AA batteries. 8" H x 5 1/2" W x 5 1/4" D. (1 lb.)
