Review on ๐Ÿ“ธ Full HD 1080p Webcam with Microphone and Ring Light - Adjustable Brightness, Autofocus Streaming Camera for Computer, Zoom Meetings, Recordings, Skype Teams, YouTube Streaming by Philip Brianne

Revainrating 5 out of 5

High quality and powerful camera with auto focus / H.264 hardware encoder mpeg

Very good webcam, at least on par with the Logitech C920 if not better. Reviewing the video example, I recorded; My VLC video player software recognized the file as H.264 AVC (see my picture). The Logitech C920 also supports H.264-AVC, while the much more expensive Logitech C930e supports H.264-SVC (an improved version of the AVC codec). So if your video conferencing application requires higher performance; You have to open your wallet. For other webcam users (99%); it will be more than satisfactory. It has "true mechanical" autofocus (compared to many misleading Revain products). If you go to the Windows 10 Camera app settings; You can switch to manual focus, and if you move the slider you can hear the camera working mechanically through its internal coils. Autofocus response speed is fairly quick, as I tested by putting my hand in and out in front of my face. It also doesn't seek focus on a regular basis, as many cheap webcams have this terrible habit of doing. The default exposure level for auto exposure is good. Alternatively, you can change it in your video conferencing software (via the Windows interface). Check the attached 2 pictures from Skype Business settings; You can even zoom and pan using the sliders (which are obviously a software crop, not an actual hardware action). Ring LED lighting is basically a gimmick hoping to attract the "beauty" of the crowd. It matters little if your face is really close to the camera, but not at the usual video conferencing distance. With this touch button on the camera, you can change the LED display level to 3 levels and also turn off. The audio recording level is good (via 2 microphones on the back of the webcam). As you can see in my image, Windows natively records audio at 44kHz - 32bit and video at 1920x1080 at 30fps in mp4 file format. The device comes with a very detailed user manual in good English. I tried to find a PDF copy of this manual online (I couldn't) which made one point very clear: this product is probably not made by Unzano as there is no website owned by that brand. In Revain you will find (for now) 4 very similar ring light webcams. Only the Angetube brand has a website, but there is no user manual there either. So you probably shouldn't expect much from future support or firmware updates etc. This is where the advantage lies with Logitech. Also, the price level for this camera is almost on par with the Logitech C920 (technically with the same capabilities). When the novelty of this "ring light" feature wears off; They expect the price of this camera to go down. When you plug it in; Windows 10 assigns a built-in "USB Live Camera" driver created by Microsoft in 2006! Coming back to the actual question from the manufacturer of this camera; Contrary to what you see on the Revain product page, it doesn't have the Unzano branding. Back sticker only (see my photos). Also on the box are two stickers that say Unzano. In the printed manual, the word Unzano does not appear at all. So obvious; By replacing these 3 paper stickers you can make them with any brand you like. Welcome to the practice of Chinese manufacture, where an indescribable product is sold under different "brands". Conclusion: good camera. It would be nice if the technical specs were fully disclosed, which could justify such a price level (e.g. if it had higher video codec specs?). For example; If it used H.264 SVC (vs. AVC) it would put it squarely on par with the "Logitech C930e killer" for less than half the price. But that's not the case. Maybe the manufacturer can shed some light on the characteristics of the real hardware? I'll update if I hear anything.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
