Review on 🎥 Amcrest AWC201-B 1080P Webcam: High Definition Streaming with Privacy Cover, Microphone, Wide Angle Lens, and Large Sensor for PC Desktop and Laptop by David Hill

Amcrest HD webcam received quickly, well packaged. It easily mounts to almost any monitor and also has a ¼-20 threaded stud on the bottom for tripod mounting. Also included is a 4-inch adjustable tabletop tripod with folding legs. It also has a protective case that attaches to the camera, but I'm not worried about that now, maybe later. After installing the camera on the flat panel, I connected the 5 inch USB cable to my Windows 10 64 PC and it installed in seconds without any action on my part. This camera comes without software; Instead, it relies solely on third-party apps. I opened the Microsoft Windows 10 camera app and the webcam was there, no installation required. I set the full video quality to 1080 and adjusted the brightness slightly to balance the lighting in my room. The video is clear and sharp with excellent color reproduction, the best I've seen from a webcam. In addition, the wide-angle lens covers a much larger area than the Logitech webcam that replaced this device. I then tried it on a Facebook video call from the US to Liverpool, England and again it was recognized immediately and worked flawlessly. Both video and microphone worked great. Without prompting, my English friend remarked how good the video of them looked. I asked about the sound and they said it was very clear too. As a long time user of Amcrest products I also tested the webcam on my Blue Iris surveillance software and again it was detected and installed without any problems. In general, I am very satisfied with the camera and can recommend it. Also note that Amcrest has something that is becoming increasingly rare; They actually have a toll free support number if you need help. I give this camera 5 stars for quality and functionality.
