Let's talk about the Amcrest UltraHD ProStream 5 megapixel webcam designed for streamers. This AWC5100 impresses with overall quality compared to the price. The camera itself is great for general use. I had to turn off the autofocus feature because it was trying too hard to focus on too many spots at once. It might require some development work. The resolution of this camera corresponds to the maximum resolution, but if you decrease the quality, you cannot increase the frame rate. Increased…
