It's odd that the camera's quality is so similar to that of a $150 Chinese webcam of some unknown brand from 2022. Although an improvement, the picture is still grainy and not even close to HD quality. I'll need to purchase a separate microphone in order to get the same level of audio quality as my old camera (also made in China and going for a ludicrous amount). See for yourself, here you can get a microphone or a camera that's a few thousand dollars more. However, if you only require a camera for Skype calls, it should suffice.
