WHILE STOCKS LAST!

Insanely easy to set up (just plug it into the USB-A port on your computer!) with a mounting clip for any desktop monitors or laptops, this webcam works with all the popular web conference apps like Zoom, Teams, Skype, WebEx, and Messenger, and displays you in full HD. It also allows 360° horizontal rotation and 30° vertical tilt so you can pivot it around at will to find your best angle. Just in case your laptop’s mic is faulty, the webcam also comes with dual built-in mic so you can be heard clearly at all times.

    got one of these when they were $69 and quite impressed. Good buy at $45

    Bought their v2 offer last week for $70. Feel somewhat jipped now

    • Broos on 02/08/2021 - 17:51

      What is the difference between this and v2?

      • Jiv on 02/08/2021 - 18:27
        +6

        Bottom line: Microphone sound quality is better on V2.

        From one of the YouTube links above, here is the comparison between this and V2.
        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzwTCXmQkig&t=91s

        V2 is smaller, and is claimed to have better noise reduction.

        It mentions a noise reduction software called "Smartcomms Kit" to use with V2 (and only works with V2). However, even when not using that software the V2 microphone sounds better.

        Being an owner of V2, I have no complaints about the microphone quality even without this Smartcomms software. But I don't have anything else to compare it to.

        EDIT… what Jiv said, basically.

        I don't use the mic on a webcam anyway (I use a bluetooth headset/mic), so I bought the V1 model :)

  • abc12345 on 02/08/2021 - 16:35

    Anyone know if these can be used with a tv? I sideloaded zoom on my chromecast with google tv and wanted to see if i can do video calls on the tv instead of using a laptop.

    • Max999 on 02/08/2021 - 16:43

      Depends on the OS.

      They present as a UVC camera, so it's very likely you can.
      You'd want to go with the more expensive v2 though, the v1 sounds like talking into a milo tin.

      amazing picture, bad audio. I have a good mic, so I went with the v1 :)

  • frogduck on 02/08/2021 - 17:13

    Got one thanks! I can't install the V2 software on my work laptop so I assume this should perform similarly in that case.

    • batrarobin on 02/08/2021 - 17:42

      I am assuming you have the V2 version and couldn't use it due to lack of software?

      • frogduck on 02/08/2021 - 19:09
        +2

        Oh, nope I only just bought the V1 on this deal, but was thinking since I can't install the software (just based on the fact that IT is super restricted on my work laptop) for the additional noise cancellation / auto muting that it would be the same or at least similar performance.

        But you should be able to use the V2 as well, just without the software (Another assumption!) ie. just the basic drivers

        • jace88 on 03/08/2021 - 15:23
          +1

          I applied same logic as well so universal plug and play is the most important.

        For anyone wanting to know, can confirm that the V2 is plug and play and can be used without the software

  • Pecan on 02/08/2021 - 17:22

    Conflicted about whether or not to upgrade an old Logitech 720p camera.. help

    • MasterScythe on 03/08/2021 - 10:40

      If youve already tweaked it in OBS and cant get it to look good; its less than a 50 to upgrade.

      That said, dont let resolution sell ya, in a typical meeting you"re at most 1/4 of a screen.

      • Pecan on 03/08/2021 - 16:15

        Thanks, I went ahead and purchased it last night. This morning whilst in a Teams call, I looked up at the current cam and saw that it’s actually 1080p 🤦🏻‍♀️

          I'd suspect that you won't get a significant improvement (if any) to video with this camera then over a Logitech 1080p webcam.

    • rand0m on 02/08/2021 - 17:48
      +3

      Biggest difference is that the resolution of this one is 1080p and the Logitech ones in your links are 720p.

      • elusive on 02/08/2021 - 19:29
        +2

        I'd still wonder how it compares: the optics and focusing (and sensor quality?) can make a lot of difference. I have a "1080p" webcam that doesn't have adjustible focus and pretty poor exposure compensation.

        • MasterScythe on 03/08/2021 - 10:42

          There is no focus, its a wide open aperture, which is fine.

          Exposure compensation is why I chose this.

          You're visible, at full frame rate, in a dark room, and not blown out in light.

          Ideal.

          Tons of youtube examples of this cam.

  • Broos on 02/08/2021 - 17:54

    Can this be mounted upside down? I need to mount it on the bottom of my monitor but the mount is only at the bottom of the camera. And ideas?

    • smmoove on 02/08/2021 - 18:52
      +3

      Not sure if you mean if the camera can be oriented upside down, or you need a way to attach it to the bottom of your monitor

      1) If the camera is upside down, you can rotate the image in software using OBS
      2) The camera has a tripod mount, so you can probably finagle something with that if you need an unconventional mounting solution

      • Silvern on 02/08/2021 - 19:16

      The creative headset and mic is actually shockingly natural sounding also, once again, plenty of youtube demos.

      Otherwise, anything by Blue is always a great mic.

      And jbhifi sell a Samson usb mic that sounds amazing.

      There's also a test of the kmart condenser mic on youtube (if you can find stock), sounds scarily good.

    Hey guys, this is a pretty decent price for a 1080p, but the fall is the USB-A. What are your thoughts? I would think that if it was a USB-C cable and port, it would have a much faster processing rate.

    • RobBoss on 02/08/2021 - 23:04
      +1

      It’s the USB standard that matters not the port per se. The port is, well just a port, and type C’s can also be USB 2.0. Even assuming that the USB A they use is 2.0, it still has a max data transfer speed of 480mbs. Way above what a webcam needs.

      • PeeDee on 03/08/2021 - 00:10

        Oh my mistake, I meant USB 3.0 but you get what I mean. Sounds good.

        • MasterScythe on 03/08/2021 - 11:09

          Yeah, even at half that speed, a 200Mb+ 1080p30 stream is pretty darn OK. Its not a movie camera.

  • jace88 on 03/08/2021 - 10:25

    Debating if $25 more to get the V2 is worth it. I don't usually use the microphone, and whilst it's predominantly a Windows environment I would like to be able to use it with my Macbook in a pinch. I don't mind if advanced software features don't work on Mac.

    EDIT: Watched the video reviews/comparisons and looks like there's really no difference between v1 and v2 for video quality so may as well go v1 since we use headsets anyway. I will concede the noise cancellation sounds great though if you're able to use it.

    • MasterScythe on 03/08/2021 - 11:10

      I bought mine on this deal last week.

      Agreed, the reds on the v1 actually look better in the demos.

      Run it through OBS, and turn the saturation back up, and de-speckle the image, and its amazing.
