Review on Gray Microsoft LifeCam Studio - Full HD 1080p Webcam by David Jennings

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not compatible with Windows 10

I bought this to support Zoom and Temas calls and I thought I did my due diligence. While the camera appears "normal", I think there are some caveats. *1080p support is misleading as most people will likely buy it for Zoom or Teams calling. The camera can only support 720p as a webcam. 1080p is only supported when using a camera to record video. * Apparently the camera comes with Studio software that allows you to fine-tune the image quality and provide other features BUT - this software is not supported on Windows 10. I found this because the camera gave my skin a bright red tint on the web. calls I couldn't solve. After some research I found that using this camera with Win10 was a problem due to the Studio software not being available. *The mounting clip design just didn't work, at least not on my Samsung monitor (CF27-F591). . I've found that if the cable coming from the camera is unsupported, the weight of the cable tends to pull on the back of the camera, which then causes the camera mount to start slipping and eventually the camera to fall. The only way to prevent this is to attach the cable to the back of the monitor so it can't pull on the camera. I decided to return it because I need a better camera.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other options
