Good product / works great!

Very nice little high quality webcam. It sits right above my PC monitor and works really well! Use it for Teams meetings and couldn't be happier. A good product!

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • No automatic setup

This is a 1080p camera in Computer Accessories & Peripherals

It worked fine on my Windows computer, but the quality isn't great. The dark ones are very dark, it seems that there is also some interference as it is a little grainy.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Not as thick as other models

Good camera for the price

Reliable camera. I use mine to aim the camera at my 40 watt laser and Lightburn. I will have to get another lens as the current one has a wider angle than I need.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Almost never

Great value for the imx291

Overall a great low light camera (0.001 lux) - works great on Linux. A small downside is that USB2.0 FPS is a bit lower. It would be great to suggest a USB3 version. Otherwise a great product, the Sony imx291 chip is pretty good.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Something different

Be careful with the wires on the connector.

Damaged during transport, one of the wires has come loose. I was able to test the quality, which seemed doable, but unfortunately I couldn't leave it to test further. There were no problems with the return, the money was refunded and then they bought another camera.

Pros
  • Brings joy
Cons
  • Repair

Please send a longer card!

I don't want to go back, I need a longer card. Just send me a longer postcard. This card is too short and you need to stay connected! I'm trying to do a school project but now I can't because the map is too short to keep in touch. I need a 4 or 5 foot card, three is two short.

Pros
  • A lot of positive emotions
Cons
  • There are minuses

Fantastic all round solid camera with a bit short and a bit thin cable

Ok the cable is short. Buy a USB3 extension cable and you're good to go. Honestly I love these little cameras, they take incredible videos in any light level. Excellent and just what I need for my studio. Also, apart from the somewhat weak cable entry point, they're built like a small tank. I love these cameras.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not bad

Fisheye camera with ill-conceived WDR function

The main feature of this camera is WDR. I did some comparison tests with my iPhone's camera (the model with the wide dynamic range camera) and they seem to perform about the same in low light. Will test more and update my review (possibly with screenshots). The downside is that this camera is a bit pricey. Update: I started to freeze when trying to record long video files (the video stream is replaced with a colored previous image for a few seconds). I think this is due to the overheating: the…

Pros
  • Absolutely awesome!
Cons
  • Operating speed
