Rated 2 out of 5

My old webcam from 2016 works better.

Sadly, I am not happy with this webcam. I either got a defective product OR it just doesn't live up to it's description. It's completely blurry, I am out of focus and the background is in focus most of the time and it does not look 4K. I have it set up properly and I know what I am doing (I have a background in videography and am super tech savvy). There is no way to adjust the focus, I don't even think it has auto focus and if it does the company does not make any effort to say so through their item description or marketing images. I don't recommend this webcam, save your money buy one from logitech instead. Also, their support page does not give any troubleshooting instructions. I sent in a support ticket to see what they will say. Gonna wait for it!

It works Kind of !

its light pick up is so so , is zoomed in and there is no way to fix it i sit 3 feet from my monitor and with it there all you can see is my face ! I have to put it 6 feet away to get a useable picture. At a distance its awesome very clear but not useable as a web cam for streaming in Discord or Twitch. There is no software , I have not for the life of me been able to get 4k out of it once ! I have windows 10 and a 5900X with a 6900XT there is no reason why I can not get 4k !!! My monitor is 4k as well so I don't get it .. this web cam is for conference or surveillance only for that its would be grate ! Disappointed :(

Amazed !

You guys sent this to me to review. I love it. As a twitch streamer, I have had a hard time finding a reasonably priced cam that works! Yet is one. It does what the higher end ones do but at a price point, you can afford it. I love the face tracking it helps me from having to adjust it all the time. I have ADHD and don't sit still. Not having to add a light halo to my setup is a plus. I love it to adjust the light for the best video. It even works with my streaming software without and bugginess. I plugged it in and it was ready! Compared to other brands I used in the past it is worth every penny. I also love you can attach it to a stand so As my setup grows I can set it up even better. You have impressed me and I am a picky one.
