Review on πŸ“Έ Lenovo 500 Full HD USB Webcam: Superior Quality and Performance in Sleek Black Design by Luis Adu

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Great for face recognition

I hooked this up to my windows 10 machine (build19043) and installed the drivers automatically. I was able to set up Windows Hello facial recognition so easily that I can now sign in hands-free in less than a second. The device looks surprisingly good on my small bezel (<1/8 inch) display and doesn't obstruct the screen. The face recognition works perfectly, but only technically takes pictures. Note that this isn't your product, you should probably shop for around $100 (or just buy it with another dedicated webcam). It connects via USB 2.0 so image quality is fairly limited. I don't have a microphone (I consider this a privacy feature) and would happily purchase this product without the RGB camera for a few bucks less. The only caveat with this device (apart from the webcam quality) is that the IR LED blinks noticeably dark red when attempting to log in. It could refer to a function if you want to know when it's running, but it's not invisible. It also doesn't blink when you're logged in, so don't. distracting.

Pros
  • Regular price
Cons
  • Not bad
