Offer 1080P HD Webcam

I needed a new webcam for my old desktop PC and found a cheap 1080P camera for under $20 so I placed my order. It arrived two days later with free shipping - thanks Revane, you are amazing! I actually had to add a product to bring the total to $25. After I plugged the camera's USB into my old Lenovo desktop, it was automatically recognized and installed. Since I use OBS Studio to record videos and some streams, I set up a webcam in OBS. I installed it on my monitor with a folding clip; but it also has a standard tripod adapter. It was originally set to 720p, but after changing the resolution to 1920 x 1080 I got my widescreen and was happy to find a really sharp and bright image. The attached photo is from my video. The camera reminds me of the Logitech C920 I use on my desktop gaming computer and after a few test shots the results were very close to the Logitech (which sells for around $90). The webcam has 2 microphones for stereo recording and the audio was very clear but lacked bass. It also included a protective lens cap, but it was a bit tricky to install. To do this, it was necessary to stick a cap on the lens and slide a small plastic door over it. It took me more time than installing the camera. Now a small minus: the camera is set to focus. Most more expensive webcams have auto focus. But the camera was pretty clear from where I'm sitting, about a foot or two from my monitor. So at $19.95 the camera was a steal, and unless you're shooting close-ups the autofocus doesn't matter.
