The media could not be loaded. When I first got the box, it was very easy to setup the webcam. All I had to do was take the webcam out of the box and plug in the USB into my laptop. When I first plugged in the webcam and opened my camera app, I saw that the quality was a bit pixelated when compared to my Logitech, but that was simply because I was located in a low lit area. When I added more lighting to the setting, it was able to capture proper video. The one issue that I found with the webcam is that it oversoftens the video, but this is not really that big of a problem if you are using the webcam for general purposes such as video chatting with friends and family. The reason that I bought the webcam was to use it as a security camera and it works very well for that purpose. The frames are smooth when recording and in the output. The wide angle allows me to include multiple people in the frame and is very helpful. I have attached some photos and a video so that you can see what I am talking about. Honestly, I am very impressed with this webcam. I bought it with not very high expectations because of the price but this just blew me away. The camera is very easy to use, just plug in and boom you are set. The image quality is quite nice also and super detailed. The image is not oversaturated and the colors and calibrated perfectly to display a soft but natural-looking image and stands at a great resolution. The microphone input is also great. I needed this because currently I work from home and have to attend business meetings and all my co-workers could hear me perfectly through the microphone of the webcam. This webcam also has a very nice 110 degree wide-angle which I find very useful for my purposes. The latch at the bottom of the webcam is also very useful. The latch allows for universal compatibility on any monitor or any surface that you would need to place the webcam on while also providing adjustable angles. I used this on both my PC (which is running windows 10) and my Mac and on both of them the webcam worked without a single problem. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a cheap and reliable webcam. Read more
The webcam installed easily, I just plugged it in. I have very thin monitors and the mounting piece works great. However, my monitors have a very thin border around the actual screen so the front of the mount covers part of my monitor. It covers about a quarter of an inch so I placed the webcam where it wouldn't cover any important buttons at the top of the screen. Plus I can slide the webcam easily one way or another if I need to get to the top of the screen where it's sitting. Not a huge deal for me. The picture quality is very clear and crisp. I love the privacy cover. Overall, I'm happy with this product. Read more
I got this camera so that our son could use it for distance learning on our big TV (we have one of our old computers hooked to it). The camera is fairly small, but the base has roughly double the footprint. The base has a nice rubbery lining that gives it a good grip that may be the same material as the reusable lint lifters I had in the 90s. I had no difficulties with the plug and play installation. I am still using my approximately 10 year old Logitech HD 1080P camera so I am going to make a few comparisons. The field of view is much larger with the new webcam than the Logitech. There is also noticeable warping at the edges of the picture due to the fisheye lens. The image is much sharper, but also harsher, than the Logitech. This webcam does not have a focus function, so it cannot do closeup images well. I played around with the Windows Camera app pro settings and the Logitech offered a manual focus option, but this one did not. I posted two photos to show a comparison of the two. The first is from the Logitech, the second from this camera. As this camera is over half the price of current new Logitech cameras (though about what I paid for my old one), I would say that it is worth the investment. Overall, if you want a webcam for closeup work with high contrast, I would avoid this one as it does not flatter human facial features under these conditions. However, for larger, wider angle shots (not shown), it performs beautifully. Read more

This camera was a lifesaver. As all of my meetings are virtual these days, my work desktop computer didn't have a camera or microphone. I was pleased to find this one that claimed to have both in one little USB camera. I was skeptical that the microphone and camera would be quality, especially for the price, but all of the reviews are true. The camera is of great quality and the microphone picks up sound even from across the room in my office. It is extremely easy to set up, I simply plugged the USB into my computer and it instantly recognized the camera and microphone and didn't require any additional setup. The camera also comes with a cover, so when not in use, you can close the cover on the camera and feel secure. I highly recommend! Read more
Prompt delivery, EZ install, Mic and camera work fine .... like the privacy cover ..... however this camera does not deliver crisp sharp HD video. It is AVERAGE ... a lower quality camera, but ok for my purpose and ok for the price. Expected a better image. You can tell the difference from other team members on my Zoom (example) that my cam is more equivalent to a older laptop cam. It may be specified at 1080 HD, however the image is obliviously soft not sharp. If your looking to use this for sharp details, drawings, images and detail, other than seeing a face, probably need a different brand. Read more
