🎥 Amcrest AWC195-B: 1080P Webcam with Mic for Desktop - HD USB Web Camera with Privacy Cover, Wide Angle Lens & Superior Low Light Performance Review

The Amcrest AWC-195B webcam offers good value for money. It delivers videos at 30 frames per second and a good picture in optimal conditions and even in low light. The sound tends to be a bit tinny, but the background noise rejection is quite good. The removable protective cover and status LED on the front of the webcam are nice additions, as is the optional tripod nut. It attaches easily to your monitor and the base is lightly weighted so you can easily place it on a flat surface. The image is

Overall, this is one of the cheapest webcams I've used. So much so that I had trouble formulating thoughts about the camera. For starters, setting up the AWC195-B was painless. The device works (and thrives) with standard Windows USB camera drivers. This makes installation almost instantaneous. The device is instantly available for programs like OBS, Discord, Hangouts, Facebook video, etc. For this test, I first tested the camera under OBS (Open Broadcasting Software) streaming with full 1080P…

Last week I used this Amcrest webcam as my second webcam to stream and record during iRacing races. My other webcam is the Logitech C920 and I will use it to compare the quality of the Amcrest webcam. I think this is a fair comparison as the two webcams were in the same price range (pre-Corona) and were used at the same time and in the same light. As a side note, I use OBS as the capture/streaming software for both my webcams and both webcams are downscaled to picture-in-picture style. Because…

Installation: Setting up this camera was very easy. I tried it on 4 different computers, 3 Windows 10 environments and a Linux computer. Installation on two laptops was very easy, the right driver was found automatically and the camera became the default camera. Although you can easily switch between two different cameras via Zoom and Google Meets. The Windows 10 desktop environment has some additional security settings that I set and I had to give the camera additional permissions. This should

I bought another camera for $50 about a month ago and I could NEVER get it to look good in OBS, Discord or Zoom. I figured I just didn't have the skills, so I studied a lot and learned a lot about streaming software, lookup tables, and chroma filters. etc. Eventually I decided to try a different camera and see if there is a difference. THERE WAS! I couldn't believe how much better the picture from this webcam looked. I'm assuming the other had a low-resolution sensor, but then the image is just

I have had two different webcams since the beginning of the pandemic. This Amcrest ACW-195C was purchased to replace ANY webcam. Here are the pros and cons of these two cameras: Pros of EVERYONE: 1. Very secure mounting clip2. The camera rotates 360 degrees and rotates up and down on the mounting clip. ALL negative: 1. The ultra wide angle lens creates a fisheye effect and distorts the background. This might be fine for capturing a room full of people, but lousy for one-to-one zoom or other…

I was using the webcam on my factory Dell laptop but I was having trouble with the quality. I have a home office in a dimly lit room with multiple monitors and the factory webcam is picking up the glare from the monitors and I need to turn on the overhead light. Also, my laptop is on the side, so I had to turn around to face the camera. I bought this Amcrest camera as I have an Amcrest home video surveillance system and have been happy with it so far! Installation was quick and the camera sits…

While I work from home and everyone needs a webcam for video conferencing, it was difficult to find webcams from well-known brands, so I went for it Try Other Brands. I was surprised to see the well known Amcrest brand. My security cameras are Amcrest so I decided to try this webcam as well and expect the same quality. I've been using this webcam for 4 days now and I'm impressed. The package is small, it contains a webcam, a protective case and a user manual. I didn't even have to read the…

So. As the way we all conduct business and meetings has changed, the webcam has become a must have for it. Although my iPhone X can handle appointments, screen sharing has become a more important part and the ability to see what someone has on my phone. It just doesn't work. I decided to find a good webcam. As for me, I have several Amcrest security cameras and they all worked perfectly, so this was one of my first choices. I looked at others and for a few extra bucks this was and is my first…
