Review on Mimoday Webcam With Microphone: HD 1080P, 200W Fixed Focus For PC Laptops & Desktop Video Chatting by Kevin Parker

Revainrating 4 out of 5

works OK for the price. Issues with cord

Some of the many shortages during the over night work-from-home panic included webcams and office chairs. For most of March through May you couldn't find any webcams anywhere. Finally in June revain must have found some no-name electronics suppliers who got some on the market ahead of companies like Logitech. This was the second such unit I bought. The first one had a defective microphone. So far this one is working well. It gets warmer than I like, and I haven't figured out if the blue light is something I have to stare at forever, but there is an issue with the cord. It comes with a 3 foot USB to USB micro cord. I needed a longer one, but he female micro USB port on the back is recessed in the housing, and if the cord you are trying to use doesn't have a good length of metal connector sticking out of its own housing, it won't stay inserted or connected. I finally had to take a razor and cut back the plastic on my new USB cord's male micro plug so it would engage in the female and stay there.

Pros
  • The plug and play feature makes it easy to use, eliminating the need for any additional software or drivers
Cons
  • Difficult to adjust for lighting conditions
