Microsoft LifeCam HD 3000 For Business Review

It's tiny, about the size of a 50 cent coin, but what I really like is that it has a narrow field of view, so when I'm video chatting with colleagues call, you don't see the mess in my room. The video is good enough, written in HD, but I'm glad it's not quite sharp. The mechanism holding it on top of my monitor is boring, a piece of clear tape on the back of my monitor quickly solved the problem. I can say that as of May 2021 it works perfectly on Windows 10 without drivers. Overall, this is my

This camera had lighting issues in Windows 10. Unfortunately, the latest software drivers for this camera were for Windows 7 and there seem to be some compatibility issues with Windows 10. Do not purchase this product if you are using a newer operating system despite inaccuracies in the product description.

The only workaround is to ditch the built-in microphone entirely…

I regret the purchase As a replacement I bought a Logitech C920. I've used other "cheap" webcams, even other Microsoft cameras, which worked better than this one. Sure, it's better than the cheapest no-name webcam you can buy. But not much. In particular, this camera struggled to deal with real-world lighting conditions that other cameras had no problem with. The picture was always either too dark or too bright and washed out. The camera built into the ThinkPad T470s is much better than this…
