I bought quite a few units before finally settling in this one. I was skeptical because it seemed too good to be true, to have good capture, decent frame rate,low noise, good autofocus. Overall, excellent package. I don't use the mic on the device, but have used it for over 20 hours of calls and it's had no issues at all. The led ring is bright, and can be annoying, but that's a small price to pay to dodge low frame rate/ high noise picture. It works well, color balance is fairly natural and honestly, it is more than just good enough. If you're thinking about this, I'd say go ahead and try it. You get more than you pay for, I think, and I'm glad I got it. Read more
Been using for all my virtual meetings. Its’ features work well and the light ring enhances my image when needed. It works perfectly with my MacBook Pro as a plug and play item in my list of webcams and audio tools. Read more
I really love this camera, its super easy to use & it has great picture quality. I use it mainly for calling into business meetings from my at home office. So I've been using it probably 4-6 times a day, 5 days a week, for about a month & its been a great experience! There are only two things that really keep me from giving it a 5 out of 5. - The light isn't as helpful as one would hope. Unless you're right in front of it, it probably won't help your lighting that much. Additionally, because it has such a limited reach, it tends to have the same result as using a camera flash: you're very bright, everything behind you is very dim, which looks very ominous on video. - This is really dumb, but there are different light brightness levels that you can adjust with a button on the front. But it doesn't look like a button & isn't noticeable so it took me waaay too long to figure out why the brightness levels were changing for no apparent reason. In reality, I was accidentally touching the button when moving the camera, but because it didn't look like a button or have any tactile feedback, I didn't realize I was impacting the lighting. It look me 3 days and probably 8 conference calls to figure out what was going on & how to control the light. But seriously, if you are looking for a low cost, reliable webcam to deliver high quality video - I recommend this camera. Just don't expect it to solve your lighting issues. Read more
I bought the Vitade 960A webcam because I'm a consultant, and needed to have a higher quality video than the really old webcam I used to have. The Vitade is a great website, very high quality. I don't usually use the built-in microphone (I have a studio-quality stand mic) but the few times I've used the webcam mic, folks on the other end said it was fine. The webcam has a ring light with 3 brightness levels. You select the brightness by touching the little metal button just below the lens. I usually use it at "medium" which is fairly bright but not "looking into the sun" bright. The photo is at brightness "medium" which confused my camera, but it's really good. Additional notes: Ring light: If you're wondering if the ring light is worth it: YES it is. I also have two accent lamps on my desk that I use for additional lighting. As an experiment, I tried a video test with (a) no ring light and no accent light, (b) just the ring light, (c) ring light + accent lights, and (d) just the accent lights. YES, you can see the difference with the ring light. Because the ring light is around the lens, it provides even lighting for me. But accent lighting is also a good idea so you don't look "flat." Linux: I run Linux (Fedora) and yes, this webcam works fine on Linux. Read more
While most laptops come with a standard webcam, having a cam that doesn't make me look all washed out with odd dark shadows means that the many (many, many) video conferences I do makes me a lot happier. The camera took a little bit to get recognized but honestly that only took about 2 minutes total. The quality of the images is noticeably better than what I am used to. It's easy to adjust so that it sits at the right angel. Turning on the light (there are 3 light levels) is just a tap away. One of the images is of kids 3 holding the camera against his eyes and the other is made with my phone of the camera on top of my laptop. It has a hole on the mount for a tripod and there are a whole bunch of extra things it can do (replace background?) if you want to make videos for youtube or tik tok or whatever the kids these days are doing, but for me, the better quality and light mean happier times with the video conferencing.

I went out and bought a $100+ 4k blah blah webcam for my husband for Christmas to help him get his streaming up. I spoke over exactly what I needed it for with the geek squad, researched, etc and got the best of the best. But when he's on stream, it's CONSTANTLY zooming in and out for a better picture. I thought that was just... How web cams are. I didn't have high hopes for this one. I was wrong. The webcam has enough lighting to light you up in the darkest of rooms. There is NO zoom in/out issues, no matter how much you move side to side or closer to or further from the cam, and the picture quality is beautiful. I'm buying another cam to replace his top of the line, "perfect for streaming" webcam with this amazingly priced wonderful piece of technology. Read more
I love this camera. The picture is great. The light really helps and gives me the flexibility to work elsewhere in my house. (I have a really good setup in my office but sometimes I just want a change of scenery). I bought this 12/2020 and as of 06/2023 the connection keeps going out. It’s frustrating to be on meetings and talking then my camera turns off because the connection was lost. I have not used it in the last year and just started using it again this month. I am now looking for a replacement and will likely go with a different brand because of this. Read more
