MOKOSE 12MP HDMI Camera 1080P USB HD Streaming Teaching Webcam, Recording 4K@30FPS Industry C/CS-Mount Camera Supports time lapse and take burst photos with 10-50MM Telephoto Zoom Manual Lens

Looks like a nice bit of kit, but my order "6-12MM ( Manual Varifocal lens )" didn't include an adapter so the focal length of the lens is off meaning everything is out of focus.You can unscrew the internal ring which helps, but at full telephoto you still can't get it in focus.

Set this up with Windows with no real issues, overall pretty happy with it, build quality is really good - Built like a tank basically and good quality sensor make for a pretty decent experience. Overall pretty happy with it.

The good:-So well made. It's metal with an excellent lens with wide to telephoto setting and open and close aperture.Comes with a large uSB cable - regret its USB 2 to three. Photo capture at 1080p is excellent.The bad:-The instructions are pants and not even YouTube has proper setting up instructions. The leaflet which comes with it didn't help and I went to the OSB web sight to get the nearest I could to better instructions.I could nr get it to work on my MacBook Pro so had to switch to my HP laptop.Initially same issues but with about 60 minutes of trying I got the webcam to work.I suggest that the website has a video on how to connect.Finally, you need to download the ops software and another software call TWITCH to get images.Only a three out of five for me.

I’ve tested enough cameras over the last few years to know when which ones I’ll still be using in 6 months time, and this isn’t one of them.I’ve had it a week now, and been playing around with it trying to find a reason for extending my use of it. I can only identify a few very niche reasons for persisting with it, but on the whole I don’t find it brings anything to the table that other products do better.What do you get? You get the camera, which is a bit Go-Pro in style, except there is no viewfinder or viewing screen, has odd buttons that project out from the rear, and has a detachable lens which is a very curious thing indeed. The build of the camera is metal, which often disguises failings elsewhere. Unusually the connection method to PC is over a several generations old USB-A port to USB-A port. No USB-C here. You get USB-A cable included in the box, and it’s a chunky blue cable. There’s a micro-SD card slot for storing footage onboard, and a power port. For the power you get a small power adapter with quite a short power cable. There’s a remote control, although it does not come with a battery which you’ll need to supply yourself.The lens is quirky. As it’s detachable you get one screw on cover to protect the camera’s sensor, and then caps for either end of the lens. I was amused that the front lens cap won’t fit while the lens is zoomed out as the glass sticks out of the end of the lens. On the lens are three adjusting rings, one for focal length, one for manual focussing and one for controlling the amount of light going in. I’d say aperture control, but that sounds a bit too grand. Each ring is manually controlled, and can be locked into place with some screws on top. It really is an odd set-up which I’ve not seen before and I didn’t particularly like.There are five physical buttons on the rear of the camera. Two control a digital zoon, one is a power on button that you have to press and hold for a few seconds. The other two control mode and switching between video and still. Or at least that’s what the camera suggests. I saw nothing happening when pressing those.There is an instruction leaflet, although there’s not a great deal of info on show relating to the camera itself. It’s more for connecting to OBS software. The camera was automatically detected by Windows 11 on my laptop, and I could find the camera in both the native Windows Camera app and in Streamlabs OBS. The picture quality, however, was not especially thrilling. I remember testing £20-40 web cams 3-4 years ago with similar sort of image quality. My skin tones looked yellowy/green. I didn’t look particularly well, put it that way.Compared to my Logitech Brio 4K, and my Logitech C920, it the Mokose fell well short of the image I get from those cameras.So, what is the niche reason for buying it? Well, it has a HDMI port which allows you to broadcast to a linked display. So, if you’re demonstrating something, or maybe a teacher, you could send the image from the camera directly to a big screen/projector. Some people may find a use for that, although I feel you’d just be projecting the image from a disappointing camera onto a bigger display. I personally can’t find a use for this camera and it's been put away back into its box and I don’t expect to be seeing it again.

Set this up this afternoon. Will be using it with an interactive whiteboard for education purposes. Its a small camera and it is well built. The material is made from aluminum so it feels premium which I guess reflects in the cost. It also houses a sony sensor which makes the quality of the pictures very good. It has a good frame rate but does not have 120 fps so no slow-mo recording on this. There is an option to update the firmware but when I tried it was already on the latest. A micro SD card is what you need. The wide-lens telephone attachment is great. The instructions were a bit rubbish ut it was easy to set up, worked fine with a windows 10 laptop.
