Ecamm Network this week began shipping the world's first webcam with Bluetooth wireless technology. The new BT-1 combines high-quality video and sound with complete freedom from wires.

The new webcam for Mac users integrates advanced technologies to allow video and sound to be sent through the air to most any Mac. The BT-1 streams 640x480 H.264 video and AAC audio to video applications such as iChat and Skype, taking advantage of Mac OS X's rich media capabilities to provide a seamless wireless webcam experience.

Designed for video chat, the BT-1 frees Mac users from the constraints of a built-in camera, allowing for maximum versatility in camera position. The included mini-tripod makes for easy desktop mounting.

First announced in January, the product received high marks from visitors to Macworld Expo 2009 where it received a Best of Show award. "Bringing this new class of wireless products to market is very exciting," says Ecamm Network's Glen Aspeslagh. "Mac users will be impressed with the quality and ease of use that we've built into the BT-1."

The BT-1 Wireless Webcam is currently available from BT-1.com for $149 plus shipping.
