abunda_amazon_reviews First off, I was surprised that I was able to get a PC video camera considering the high demand related to CV-19. I'm a long time Amcrest Camera user (for home security) and an offer to buy this camera popped up in my email. The product arrive in about 5 days ( April 16, 2020), a bit faster than the expected delivery time shown on my Amazon orders page. The box it small it came in was small and was packed in a shipping envelope. In the box is the camera, with permanently attached USB cable, a small tripod, and instructions. On my Dell Laptop (about 3 years old running Windows 10) it was truly "plug and play". It even switched the camera and mic from my built-in options to the new Amcrest Camera. After Windows said I was ready I started Zoom, and there I was !!! I would say the picture quality is very, very good.... but not quite excellent. Is much, much better than the camera built in to my laptop. The picture quality is better than 90% of the video you'll see right now on cable news stations as they have people participating from home or remote locations. But not quite as good as the anchors who clearly have broadcast quality cameras. You can NOT make any video or audio adjustments directly on the camera. The instructions indicate you must use the adjustments available in your hosting software (in my case Zoom). None were really needed for the video (other than slight physical adjustments in my room to eliminate glare from direct sunlight). Zoom didn't seem to offer any material options for lightness, contrast, zoom, etc.. Zoom did offer options for adjusting the mic sensitivity, and I did lower the sensitivity about 25%. Audio quality is very good. The audio is crisp and easy to understand but there is some very slight ambient background noise, probably coming from my air filter and HVAC system which was running. Its barely noticeable but not annoying. A lapel or higher quality desk mic would probably help, but again I don't believe it is necessary. Placing the camera on top of my screen... I get a very nicely framed picture (3/4 body shot) when I sit about 3 to 4 feet away. I haven't found any way to electronically zoom yet, but maybe there is someway to do that with different video hosting software, other than Zoom. All in all, I am very, very pleased.... and I have just ordered a second camera for my household.;;Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2020;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Pretty Amazing...;;Amazon Customer;;;Hi folks, I got this camera a week ago since my old laptop's internal camera was like 0.3 megapixels and the video image it was recording was just terrible. So I decided to come here and get some nice camera for a good value. I've checked different ones and read a bunch of reviews of logitech cameras as well as Microsoft ones. Reviews were different, good and bad... And after a long time surfing on amazon, I saw this Amcrest camera. I didn't even know that Amcrest makes web cameras. I'm pretty well familiar with Amrest's products because I have a whole NVR surveillance system with 4k cameras all around my house as well as a doorbell camera. I really like the quality of this company's products. They make very reliable and high quality stuff. So I decided to give it a try, as special because the price is affordable, lower than Logitech and Microsoft cameras. And guess what? I've got it, hook it up to my desktop computer (just on the top of the monitor), the good thing is a plug and play out of the box for windows 10 and I was surprised about the picture quality. It's just awesome! I really love it. So clean and crisp. I'm using this web camera on a daily basis for my work (remotely now lol). It works with all apps I've tried it, Webex, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, GoToMeeting, you name it, works with all apps just fine. All people on the other end of the call immediately mentioned that the quality of my video calls greatly improved. It also has a built-in microphone, so you don't have to worry about getting an additional one. The USB cord of the camera is pretty long. It helped me a lot since my desktop computer's case sits next to my desk on the floor. The camera has a pretty good engineered holder, so you can attach it to practically any possible monitor, but even in case if not, it comes with a mini tripod, which you can attach to the camera's holder. Oh, another very important future that the camera comes with a mechanical privacy shutter, which you can close when the camera is not in use. Overall great value and quality for the price. Absolutely recommend if you are having daily video calls, meetings or just web chats.;;Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2020;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Great camera for online meetings and video calls.;;Doni;;;Camera works well is at a fair price and in stock right now during the "COVID-19 pandemic". I purchased this for my kids online schooling and Zoom meetings. Compared to my Logitech 922 Pro the Amcrest performs very well. The picture quality is comparable although the Logitech is a little clearer, that being said the Logitech is twice the cost. I own and have installed many Amcrest products and do recommend them regularly to others. -Your Local System Administrator;;Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2020;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Good Picture, Good Color;;Aaron
