This popular webcam fluctuates a lot lately but frequently dropping to sub $25. $22.55 at the time of this posting, not the lowest ever but pretty good price for a basic webcam. Be quick and double check the price in case it bounces back. Set your price alert at 3Camel in case it's expired, and don't forget cashback
CamelCamelCamel.
Care to comment on how it is for Skype/teams conferences?
I'm looking for a basic upgrade from my crappy laptop camera
Yup its works perfect for the price. I have lended to my work colleagues and they also liked it aswell. Very easy to setup, does not require any additional software.
The thing about a "work camera" is that you don't want a camera that is too crystal clear that will show your pimple on face 😂, this camera strikes the right balance
What is wrong with your laptop camera?
Works perfect on Linux too. Got two of these since they are so cheap.
Cheers for that.
Looks like I missed it this time but have set an alert.
My laptop camera just never seems very clear.
For $29 why not grab a better one
How do you rate the microphone?
Does it do well blocking out background noise etc?
oh I don't use the microphone so I can't comment. I log into zoom using phone and video using PC
When I had use the microphone by accident apparently it was quite soft compare to my dedicated microphone.
thanks for that
Microphone is poor. You have to speak loud for them to hear you clearly
That little cap is useful. I was just unplugging the USB when not using a webcam, this will make my life easier.
Is fixed focus the same as manual focus, or does it mean it can't be adjusted at all. I'm interested in using this for stop motion animation, so I don't want auto focus, but I would like to be able to adjust it manually.
The focus has no adjustment, manual or otherwise. It relies on having a small aperture and decent light sensitivity to have a large depth of field (in focus from close up to "infinity").
On the website it says $22.5 but when I add to cart it jumps to $40
Is anyone else seeing this?
goes up to $39 when I added it to cart?
Same here.
For those missed out, set your 3Camel alert. I bought this a few days ago @$21 before it goes back to $39.99. So far it always go down to sub $25 after awhile. I'll mark this as expired now
Damn just got in
I paid $22.55 for it, using the Amazon App on my phone.
Thanks OP. Got 1 just before the price being jacked.
Damn I bought this for 40$ yesterday!! Oh well. Save up on couple of coffee's and take outs and make up I guess.
How much is it usually? hows the quality?
Why are web cams so expensive?
Demand. Also, this wasn't expensive.
"Also this wasn't expensive"
LMAO. Yeah honestly not sure since when $20 was considered expensive…
Sorry to go against the grain here, but I bought this camera recently and it kinda sucks.
In low light it's pretty hopeless and you'll look dark. Better to just save up and get a logitech tbh. I'll be sending mine back.
You doing a service, thanks for the advice.
I would be very surprised if this camera is better than a Logitech or Microsoft mid range to high end camera. The sound quality on the better brand cameras is normally better as they will have multiple microphones. As stated above, normal/low light performance on the better brand cameras will be better. Forget what the resolution claims, you are better to have a good 720p camera, than a cheap 1080p camera. Personally I have had better experience with the Microsoft Cameras due to better software support. Some of the Logitech camera software has bugs that doesn't get fixed.

Who wouldn't be? It's just a cheapy, that's pretty obvious.
Unfortunately many people just look at the resolution and assume it must be better.
I have yet to get a MS cam working on my mac. All are super overexposed.
For anyone needing a webcam who can’t wait for a cheaper price, this looks the same for about $10 cheaper.

Price is $25 now, for those still interested
Price is $20 now
damn, I bought this for $55 1.5 months ago. But worked reimbursed me for it so I'm not too concerned
