📷 Amcrest AWC205 - 1080P Webcam with Privacy Cover, USB Camera, HD Streaming Webcam for PC Desktop & Laptop with Microphone, Wide Angle Lens & Large Sensor for Superior Low Light Review

I needed a second webcam for work and bought an Amcrest 1080p webcam. I've bought Amcrest security cameras (with Wi-Fi) in the past, so I wasn't new to this brand. Attached to this review is a video comparison between an Amcrest webcam and my Logitech C922X Pro webcam. Revain compresses the footage so I don't know how well it displays, but both webcams shot in low light at 12 inches from the target. I think this is a pretty good webcam stress test. I've found that Amcrest can keep everything in

I've compared this camera to a few other webcams. This webcam has a very wide viewing angle. This makes it very suitable for group webcams, but it is a bit wider than I would like for one-on-one meetings. Some software will automatically crop just your face, expanding the range of positions while staying within frame, but this is limited by the app you're using. It would be nice if the drivers supported this natively with face tracking and zoom functionality. By default, the drivers also return

This webcam meets my needs as an online university student. I use it to take proctored exams online. The webcam is used to monitor me during the exam. I have to show my ID at the start of the exam, and while I had concerns about the autofocus feature (my school required a manually adjustable one), this webcam managed the process when I needed to get my ID on 3 inches of the webcam cameras. The picture quality is very good, very clear and my inspector can see the expiry date of my ID card in…

I bought this inexpensive camera for use with a desktop PC. The video works quite well, but there were some unexpected flaws. The microphone is bad even up close. Skype switched from my headset to the camera mic without notifying me and people told me they could barely hear me. Also, the 3.6mm 70-degree lens fits on a laptop at arm's length rather than on a desktop monitor or TV mount where it captures the entire room. The edges of the image have a fish-eye effect, which is to be expected at…

So I recently built a PC case and needed a webcam to work from home. I've been using a fairly well-equipped Lenovo Carbon X1 laptop for a while, and the webcam on it was enough to get me through. But when I hooked up this Amcrest webcam, I didn't realize just how much webcams have improved over the past few years. Setup was very easy. I'm using Windows 10, just plugged it in and installed it in less than a minute. I was able to use it with Microsoft Teams (which I use for work) and the video…

Webcam Pros: Works as advertised - 1080p at 30fps. Pleased with the quality of the video capture and the ability to work with different lighting levels/colors in my workspace. Works well in low light mode, even with a single dimly lit monitor lit over 6ft away, it was able to record detailed and well-lit videos at a capture rate of 15-25 fps. I've used this camera to teach a colleague a detail-oriented skill and was able to get decent product close-ups and perfectly decent audio. It works well…

I needed a webcam for all the conference calls I do from home and this seemed like a good (affordable) candidate. After unpacking, I was immediately impressed with the status of this webcam. It's easy to focus all your attention on the camera itself, but I've found that a poor quality stand/mount can get boring very quickly. The mount of this webcam allows you to install it in different ways. The stand itself is heavy enough that the camera can simply "stand" on a table or part of your…

Overall I am very satisfied with this product and give it 5/5 stars. The webcam is very easy to connect and use. It comes with an extra camera cover, which I used at first but only took off because I thought it looked aesthetically cooler without the cover (it looks like a toilet seat cover, but I didn't take it off for that reason). . It looks very good, doesn't protrude too much from the back, is well built, is solid, doesn't wobble when you're typing on your computer, is easy to use and…

I got this camera to upgrade a 10 year old camera. I love the camera and would definitely recommend it to anyone considering it. I ran a full review from unboxing to use, which I'll detail below. Upon unpacking, I found that the packaging is thin. There was enough space in the package for the camera, cables and a few other things. At first I thought there had to be more, but after thinking about it, a camera box doesn't have to have additional packaging to be a good camera. So, I think the…
