AkytaWebcam, HD 1080p Webcam with Microphone/Tripod/Privacy Cover, Plug and Play USB Web Camera for Desktop Computer PC Laptop Mac Video Calling/Streaming/Teams Conference

This is a great web cam I bought four more for my employees. Camera is high quality and the price is great.

I purchased this camera mainly to use with Skype. After reading the reviews I was torn on what to expect but I have to admit, It is a lot better than I thought it was going to be. Packaging was adequate. Not to overdone but still protected the device while in transit and my UPS guy isn't always the most gentle with my packages. Honestly, I don't really care about packaging as long as it gets the product to me undamaged. This one did fine.The setup was simple. I plugged it into my Windows 10 computer, the computer recognized it was a camera, found a compatible driver, installed it and poof! It worked first time right out of the box.My wife and I play a weekly Dungeons and Dragons game with friends on the other side of the country over skype. This camera provides a crystal clear picture of the room allowing us to be seen which greatly enhances the game. The part I was most worried about though is the built in microphone. You see, we have three kids ages 9, 8 and 3. We also have three dogs and a cat. Our house is a constant cacophony of sound. The TV blaring, Dogs barking, kids screaming and fighting, doors slamming, cat singing us the song of his people... How well will the built in Mic work so that we can talk through skype from wherever we happen to be in the room with the typical noise of a wild and crazy house in the background. The answer is, very well. Yes the mic pics up the dogs and kids and doors and TV's and screaming and meowing when it makes it into the computer room but as long as they keep it out of the room we are using skype in it is very bearable. It has not interrupted the game yet. It is sensitive enough that I can sit at my computer desk at the far end of the 10 by 17 foot room, speak at a normal volume and be heard but not so sensitive as to pick up the TV blaring in the living room. Overall, I am happy with this aspect.Overall, I rated this camera 5 stars across the board and that is not something I normally do. Read a few of my reviews on Yelp and Amazon and you will discover I have no problem telling a company, or their customers, when a product or service sucks. This particular product does not suck. For the price, I would call it very, very good.

Good video quality, not sure about the audio because I don't use that function much and I have not bothered to ask colleagues how it sounds if I use it for audio.

Good image quality

Was good for the first year ONLY. After about a year of daily use, both of the (2) cameras I purchased started glitching and eventually stopped working. Beforehand, they worked perfectly fine. Now I will need to purchase (2) new ones and will NOT being buying this brand.

It's not that bad of a camera, but I do have issues. For one, every time you turn the camera on the Mic get auto muted in the sound settings and it has to be turned on every time. I have used this camera on 4 computers and it does it with all of them. For two is the fish eye effect is super annoying and you can't get rid of it; the video is too distorted. And lastly is the lack of quality. The photos and description does not anywhere match those that was put in this items photo gallery or description. This is just a basic webcam for doing Facebook video chats and such, not for anything useful like Facebook Lives or creating videos.I also noticed that the camera I received is not the one shown in the picture. I received the same brand but a different model. There is also no software to install to play with video recording and editing.

Like it says, nearly a few days after getting this webcam i set it up on my desk with the included stand, plugged it in and maybe a week after that had issues with random disconnections, graphics bugging out, and it only worked by wiggling the camera with no clear fix. Now, around 3-4 months later it doesn't work at all. The lights indicate power but using it with any app that needs a camera will flash the green light and give no signal. Beyond disappointing

This camera works good for my Desktop and it displays clear quality when using it. I like the design of it and especially the Privacy Protection Cover because whenever I'm not using it, I can just flip the cover down. The Webcam has a microphone and is 1080p quality. The cord for the Webcam is decent length but should have been longer. The Webcam feels good and feels like it can withstand a drop if it perhaps falls off of your monitor or computer. The Webcam stand sits good on my Desktop Monitor and the little Tri-pod stand is perfect. It was easy to setup, all I had to do was plug it in to the Computer or Laptop and it was ready to use. I didn't have to install a program or driver as it was Plug and Play already. I like this Webcam and it doesn't give me any issues. I recommend this Webcam if you're searching for an affordable Webcam such as this as it does it's job and is described as it is.
