Good build quality, convenient, and great for price-to-performance
Some of you may be skeptical about all the 5 star reviews, but I'm here to make an honest review to back up those 5 star reviews.For $30, you're getting a pretty good quality 1080p webcam that is actually HD. I bought this after buying 2 webcams that both failed me as one had too smooth picture quality and was flimsy, and the other one had choppy feedback both in live videos and recordings.First off, installation is easy as just plugging it in and launching the camera app to test it. No additional drivers and no software or firmwares to set up and use. This webcam is perfect for price-to-performance. You can't expect too much from a cheaper webcam, but this has decent contrast and sharpness to the picture quality, making it not look super smooth and not like a blended, pixelated mess. The included tripod feels cheap and is made with cheap materials, but it does extend and holds the webcam up steadily as it should. I like the additional preinstalled sliding privacy cover, very convenient. The microphone isn't the best. I tested it with some people, and they said I sounded like I was in a hallway or muffled. What else can you expect from this price point? I care more about the picture quality and build, though, as I already have an external microphone that performs way better.I have a very thin monitor as you can sort of tell in one of the pictures I've posted, so it takes me a second to adjust it to where it won't slide back or forward too far. I'm short, so it needs to balance on my monitor in the center to center myself in the frame for video calls. Once adjusted, it stays as it is and doesn't give me trouble. The rubber padding on the base helps to keep it still and stable. The other nice feature is the swivel part. You can turn the camera a full 360 without needing to move the base around, and you can tilt it forwards, backwards and sideways to a certain degree.Overall, this webcam deserves a 5 star in my opinion from my experience with it. $30 is getting you a lot for this webcam. It's a great budget webcam for video calls and conferences, which is why I bought it. Don't buy this for gaming or streaming, though. Find a better webcam for that.

Great choice USB Web Cam
I previously purchased a different USB Camera with Microphone for Zoom & Telehealth meetings on Amazon. No matter what I tried people could barely hear me, which was frustrating. I tested everything on My computer and it was not the culprit. So I returned that one and looked again at different USB web camera's on Amazon.I hunted and read many reviews on different USB Web Cams for over an hour. That is when I found this 1080Hp webcam . The reviews were good with the quality, Picture and sound, so I decided to take a "Leap of Faith". I really needed a good quality webcam as it was important with my many Telehealth Dr. Appointments.It was a simple plug and play connection to get it going. I ran a Microphone test, as well as tested the camera before my first "live" use. It went very well! They had no problem hearing me and my meetings went off without any sound or image glitches. I have used it for over 2 months now and it is still going good... YAY! I like the fact that it can be perched on top of my Computer monitor, attached to a sturdy flexible tripod and the camera can swivel or be turned to angle just right. The only thing is that I think that the quality of the camera could be a little better, but it is still not bad at all. The price point on this was fantastic for the quality of the product .Overall, I would highly recommend this webcam to anyone who is looking for a good quality Webcam that is dependable, adjustable and priced just right!

Works just as described - good deal
I wanted a webcam for zoom/other remote meetings - mainly for the speaker option. This isn't something I want to use frequently, but do need for the occasional meeting. The work laptop has one built in, but the angle of the image, along with it being a work laptop, left me with few options for my family/friend needs.I didn't want to spend a lot, and it had to have a camera cover built in with USB. And I wanted it to sit on top of my thin monitor, but not be permanently attached.This one fit all my needs.It was pretty easy to figure out & plug in. The directions were a little confusing regarding the 'installation' on to the monitor. Thankfully it was as simple as opening it up and then placing it on top and gently squeezing it to more or less lock in place. It looks like it could even fit a smaller monitor - I tried it on work laptop and it also fit, but I wouldn't feel comfortable just letting it sit there and carrying around the laptop. If moving/carrying the webcam while connected was needed, I'd be concerned about it falling off. Where it sits on my stable desktop monitor suits me fine with no worries.I've used it a few times for both work and family & friends. Sounds fine, looks fine, and is simple to use.Haven't taken any pictures or recordings with it which I think is optional features. So good to have, but not needed.Would I buy this again? Well, its not like I want a bunch of webcams, so no, but if anyone asked me if I'd recommend it, yes.Favorite feature: Built in camera cover.Least favorite feature: the instructions (which were fine, but could have been a bit clearer)

Good Video Quality when it isn't a pixilated purple
I only use this product for its camera purposes, so I can't speak to its mic quality. But of the camera, the picture quality is wonderful... when it works. So I've had the problem of the picture occasionally showing pixilated purple areas in some parts of the camera. It distorts the image and makes my face and surrounding look very strange. I then have to restart my whole computer to fix this issue and then the camera is back to normal/ high quality video. I do love the slider that goes over the camera when I'm not on a call and I have had no issues with it not being able to slide back and forth like other reviews have stated. Overall, great picture quality when it actually works. Can get frustrating when I have to restart my computer when I have to fix the image issue I've experienced. It is very easy to install as it was just plug and play for me.
