The camera came in packaged very well in a tiny box. It had a paper manual, a bag with the lens privacy cover piece, tripod, and camera. I immediately plugged it into my PC via the USB cable and opened the base of the camera to hook it onto my monitor. It was easy and stuck because the base is lined with a lot of rubber. I opened the camera app on my PC and it worked instantly. Normally I get a connection error because I do not have a camera built into my monitor. The image was crisp and white, and showed a pretty good view of my whole room without a fish eye appearance. It was very clear and I did not share a picture of the image quality due to the fact that it was so good it caught all my blemishes haha. Very unexpected. The audio honestly isn’t the best, as it sounds slightly muffled during playback, but that may be due to my monitor’s stereos; I don’t know. The auto focus worked really well when I turned off the lights; the square tried to follow my face the entire time and during daylight the auto focus square is nonexistent.
The 3 light settings on the ring light are awesome in the dark and aren’t even needed during the daytime really. In the dark they’re good enough to really light up my keyboard and my face and each setting is noticeably brighter than the last. The camera app can be off and the lights will still work in case that was a concern or interest for anyone. The privacy shutter is an individual piece with 3M tape on the back. You must peel off the protective layer and align it on your camera before sticking it on carefully. After the process is done, the shutter shifts with ease across the lens. The tripod attachment is also super easy to use and sits up well with very little manipulation. The camera is able to turn in many ways and angles, although it must be turned very sharply down at me when attached to my monitor due to the height of my monitor. But I definitely think I’m very pleased with the overall product so far. I’m also a teacher and we do a lot of zooms! An affordable, reliable, and good camera is always handy to have.
