I like it, thanks for the quality product.

The autofocus system of this camera has been criticized for its lackluster performance. Yes, newspaper text reading presents difficulties, but at that price, what do you expect? Regarding the involuntary monitoring of one's face. You shouldn't imagine that the camera's lens rotates around you; instead, software image processing handles tracking, and the image is resized (inevitably losing some detail as you zoom in) and moved to follow your every move.

Pros
  • The video and audio are of high quality. Superb cost-effectiveness.
Cons
  • Mildly soapy, but serviceable. The mount is not particularly flexible; I had to secure mine with sticky tape, and you can only tilt it in one direction.
