TouchCam N1 – announced at the 2010 International CES and certified by Skype for 720 p video calling.

A follow‑up bundle, the FVexpress PCIe card with an external 720 p webcam, was introduced in March 2010 for desktop systems lacking the required H.264 hardware encoding.

All TouchCam models used an on‑board H.264 encoder to off‑load compression from the host CPU, enabling HD calls on mid‑range PCs.
