Amcrest AWC2198 1080P Webcam: Business Grade, Dual-Mic, 2021 Updated, Wide Angle Lens, Superior Low Light Review

It was quite difficult to find a decent webcam as the demand for it was very high, so I was happy to try this camera and receive a full refund (free) in exchange for my review. Here. That's what I paid for, a cheap webcam. Pros: 1. This is a solid camera so I'm not afraid of it breaking.2. The lens is pushed backwards, so there is less chance of scratches or marks when handling. Preforms decently in low light.4. Has an extremely wide viewing angle. (for or against. take a picture)5. Both the…

This camera delivers crystal clear images. Its ability to shoot in low light is decent. The microphone can pick up the voices of everyone in the room, making it great for conference calls. However, I mainly use it to capture my face while recording my gaming sessions. Video quality is excellent for this purpose, but the microphone isn't perfect. It picks up the sound of my keyboard (brown mechanical switches) and the sounds of other people talking in the room, which left my teammates unhappy…

Because I had to constantly use my webcam for video calls and meetings, I needed a backup webcam because my Mac's built-in camera was unstable. I saw the Amcrest webcam in an ad and decided to try it out because it said it was Mac compatible and "plug and play". When I plugged the Amcrest into the USB socket, I couldn't find a way to select it. (It came with very simple instructions which I followed). I called Amcrest tech support and was assisted by Emily Morgan who was great. She suggested I…

Using this webcam has been a relief. About a month ago I bought a Revain webcam for the same price and received a defective model which I returned. This webcam was so easy to set up; I just put it on the monitor, plugged it in and everything was up and running in seconds. I was so glad I didn't have to repeat my last webcam experience. Unpacking went well, with plenty of protective foam and attractive information sheets. It also comes with unlimited lifetime technical support and a limited…

I was really impressed by this webcam from Amcrest. My laptop has a typical crappy built-in camera. Perfect time to upgrade! This webcam is so easy to use that you don't even need instructions. Just plug it into a USB port on your computer and it will automatically install the drivers and work with any application. Colors are good and realistic. It works much better in low light than most webcams I've seen. It also has a smooth high frame rate (30 fps) and 2 microphones for stereo sound, which…

Amcrest ProStream offers pretty good value for my use case which is streaming/recording gameplay via OBS. I found the overall image quality to be decent, but the edges looked a bit smooth. But even in relatively low light conditions (mostly with my monitors as the light source), the webcam performed better than expected. I tested the mic briefly as I usually use a separate mic. once heard me in discord because my voice seemed to go in and out. I tested it myself with a Dictaphone and found I…

Pros: -Very easy setup. Just plug in and get started. No software installation required. - Privacy cover (if correct model is selected). - Image quality - Excellent quality in low light. Cons: - Fisheye lens - Background is slightly distorted (foreground is ok). Some may worry about it, others don't care. No problem if you use Zoom's virtual background feature. - No usage indicator (I've heard this camera *might* have one, but it's blocked by an extra privacy cover so I can't see it) - Sound…

The Amcrest ProStream 1080P Dual Mic Webcam is a great product for the price. After two weeks I am very satisfied with the AWC2198 webcam. The device worked flawlessly with Microsoft Windows 10. The system recognized and installed the necessary drivers when connected via USB. The 6 foot cable provides the length I need to connect and move the camera without moving my laptop. The mounting clamp is beautifully designed with a universal tripod mount. Once I placed the camera on my laptop, the…

My husband has been attending virtual meetings for several months and his Lenovo webcam just can't handle it. He needed something better and this webcam saved him. My son even borrows it once a week for school reunions and it was easy to switch between the laptops. No settings, just plug and play. Oh, you really need to switch from your computer's webcam to this one, but it's just a simple click to toggle - otherwise you might have echo issues, as it picks up audio from both the computer and…
