sorry that answer was rather vauge.
it depends on the quality of camera and the type of internet connection.
with broadband and a good camera you should have good clear sounds and images, just like TV.(apparently)
with a normal telephone line it will have a lumpy picture, and sound may break up.

it cost me about £100 from Argos.
normal web cams are cheaper, someone else may know which is the best to go for.

Don't quote me on this but I have heard that Firewire ones are good cos the transfer rate of firewire is much higher than say USB.
Might be worth looking into.
