Windows Hello and normal webcam.

I think people should moderate their expectations of this pick. For me it's not as bad as some say. (1) This is a Windows Hello camera and will unlock your computer if your computer is Windows Hello enabled (Windows 10 or later and may require TPM). Works great, unlocks very quickly. ++(2) It's basically the inside of a laptop camera housed in a case. Not on par with the Logitech 920 or similar, but similar to many laptops I've used and better than most. Fixed focus, typical low-lightโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Line is shorter than other picks

Grozny, Grozny, Grozny

Grozny. Poor image quality, lack of software and built-in Windows support. The image is low resolution and blurry. The picture is upside down. There is no built-in microphone. My 12 year old Logitech is much better. I doubt it's even Lenovo. For me, Revain was a disappointing place to shop. The only saving grace is their return policy.

Great for face recognition

I hooked this up to my windows 10 machine (build19043) and installed the drivers automatically. I was able to set up Windows Hello facial recognition so easily that I can now sign in hands-free in less than a second. The device looks surprisingly good on my small bezel (<1/8 inch) display and doesn't obstruct the screen. The face recognition works perfectly, but only technically takes pictures. Note that this isn't your product, you should probably shop for around $100 (or just buy it withโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Regular price
Cons
  • Not bad

Very bad alternative to my built in camera

I wasted two weeks trying to get this Lenovo webcam to work with my Lenovo laptop. Blurry video, poor resolution and just not acceptable. The only good reminder is that the company was very quick to respond to returns with no questions asked and provided an unported return label. must have had a lot of experience. Do not buy this camera.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Unfashionable

It works AV Accessory

I remember seeing a lot of reviews saying this thing doesn't work for a lot of people but I decided to take a chance since it's only $35 cost and it was Lenovo. It works for me and unlocks the computer, the camera quality is bad, but I don't need it for that. All I wanted was Windows Hello's facial recognition, and it does exactly that.

Pros
  • Recommended
Cons
  • It drives me crazy

Garbage. Item description misrepresents performance/quality

only produced 720p despite several hours of (re)installing the driver, restarting, testing on different computers. .windows hello face doesn't work with it. Windows can't even recognize it as welcome compatible. There is no support software available from Lenovo other than the driver. There is no information online on how to fix these problems. Windows 10 cannot detect the correct brand and model of the device. This is a terrible webcam that I paid too much for and waited too long for. DO NOTโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • old

Works with Windows Hello from time to time

Maybe it's my setup but my laptop's webcam doesn't natively support Windows Hello so I bought this camera as is - and sometimes it works great, but Sometimes no and when not I have to enter my password (first world problems I know of), but if your goal is to never enter a password on your computer running Win 10, this might not be the best choice, YMMV and it appears at loading hits or misses, and sometimes when the laptop wakes up from sleep. (There may be a solution for this on the web, but I

  • Pretty packaging

  • Minor things

The device looks surprisingly good on my small-bezel display (I'd happily buy this product without the RGB camera for a few bucks less. One caveat with this device (apart from the quality of the webcam) is that the IR Die LED visibly flashes dark red when trying to log in. This canโ€ฆ
