Not my miracle

I suppose I was hoping for a miracle in a USB camera. It isn't that, but it It is realistically a good webcam. I wanted it to serve as a secondary overhead camera for my Zoom classes, like a document camera without a fixed stand. Sometimes when the light is just right, I am very happy with it, but I haven't worked out all of my lighting issues yet. If it will be used as it is intended, I think a buyer will be happy with it.

Great Delivery! and very helpful staff.

The staff were excellent in their assistance in obtaining the camera. Very happy with the results. I had an older model and this one shows how much more it has improved over time. The picture quality is awesome.

They just don't make'um like they used to!

Often gets stuck on autofocusing / blurs, (not a lighting problem, nor other objects in the foreground, just sticks on "out of focus". Had it for less than 3 months and just quit being recognized by the operating system, both Win10 and Linux Mint Tessa OS. Device manager neither. Of course Win10 latest update to the version 1903 cumulative also broke/blocks Bluetooth dongles from operating. No fix on the horizon, par course for MS as usual. My previous camera (microsoft HD Lifecam 5001 true 780 HD is still going strong since 2013 despite having to strip and reconnect all 4 wires at least 3 times in those years due to rolling over the USB cable w/my office chair. Yup, wise saying "They just don't make'um like they used to". Everything now is trow away. I used to replace mem, and other IC circuit chips as well as analog pc board electronics parts or on the part withing the chassis. Now it's all throw away and get another one.

wow! this is amazingly clear

The camera is very easy to install.. it installs itself. I'm am a tech moron and I found this camera to be functioning perfectly in three minutes. The only problem I encountered was the lens cap. It isn't a tight fit.
