ELP 1080P Web Camera,2 Megapixel Zoom Webcam with IMX322 Sensor,5-50 mm Manual Lens, Plug and Play, for Zoom/Skype/OBS, H.264 1080P USB Computer Camera for Windows/Android/Linux USBFHD06H-SFV(5-50mm)

Excellent

Pros: * Plug&Play Installation unter Windows 10, keine zusätzlichen Treiber oder Software notwendig * Hochqualitative Industrie-Kamera mit Glaslinsen und Metallgehäuse, wie man sie selten in diesem Preissegment findet * Zwei 1/4 Zoll Gewinde oben und unten erlauben sowohl Montage am Schreibtisch, als auch Deckenmontage * Langes, qualitativ hochwertiges Kabel * Erfolgreich getestet mit Skype, GoToMeeting, Zoom und OBS Studio; sollte aber generell mit allen Windows-Anwendungen funktionieren * Brennweite, Fokus und Blende können stufenlos und sehr exakt eingestellt werden. Fixierung über Schrauben möglich. * Manueller Weißabgleich möglich * Liefert auch bei schlechtem Licht sehr gute Bilder. Monitorlicht reicht für Webkonferenzen aus. Kontras: * Keine Weitwinkelobjektiv (Objektiv kann nicht ausgetauscht werden!), daher nur als Webkamera für Einzelpersonen tauglich, nicht für Gruppen * Man sollte zumindest die Grundzusammenhänge zwischen Brennweite, Fokus und Blende verstanden haben, um die Kamera korrekt einstellen zu können * Stativ muss eigens gekauft werden, im Lieferumfang ist keine Montagemöglichkeit enthalten, lediglich zwei Dübel und Schrauben, deren Zweck sich mir nicht erschlossen hat

Super Kamera, am Anfang alles super... Doch leider erkennt der PC die cam nicht mehr. Schade

(I'm reviewing the 1080p H.264 0.01lux webcam) I've been trying this out for a few days - it took me a while to get sorted because this camera definitely needs a decent stand (no realistic way to bodge-fix it to the top of your monitor like there is with normal webcams). Once done, getting it zoomed and focussed just the way you want takes a bit of doing too because it's all manual, and you're likely to have to sit a little distance away from it, but that's hardly difficult to deal with. FWIW, I've got my camera on a stand about a feet behind my monitor, and angled so that its view "skims" over the top of the monitor). Once connected to the computer, you get a pretty nice picture - not actually as sharp as it might be. It's hard to compare, but my Logitech C920 probably has a better picture. However, the reason I went with this camera is because of the zoom and consequent depth of field. The Logitech had me looking quite small, with lots of my room on show. Now, using almost no zoom at all, I'm on video calls as head and shoulders only, much less of my room on show and the background is slightly out of focus (so possibly a little less distracting for viewers?). I paid a little more for this particular model (although right now it's on a limited deal to be the same price as the others) because I wanted it to work in low light. Most cameras struggle in low light and it's hard to light yourself sufficiently well at home (unless you go big into lights), so I thought maybe a low light camera would compensate for my lack of pro lighting. Honestly, it really doesn't at all - without bright lights, it's definitely a bit "dim", even with the aperture wide open. I get the feeling the camera has no in-built processing (others definitely do - in an attempt to make them look better), and the output of it responds well to some "brightness" adjustment on the computer. One thing to note is that there is no "on" light on this camera, so it's hard to know if it's working without seeing the actual video stream. There's also no light you could use as a tally light, if that's something you need. All said and done though, this does a decent job of being a webcam for video calls. I'm not sure I'd use it for making high quality video, although it has got miles of zoom, so it might find uses in bigger halls or whatever. It's good, good enough for me for sure, but it's not awesome - but for the price, it's competing with the likes of the "webcam" market, not pro video.

The lense is okay, can see some imperfections at certain zoom/focus levels but good enough for a 1080p image. It can zoom crazy far and even provide pretty extreme macro shots thanks to a crazy wide focus range. For specific use cases it could be fantastic. Colour reproduction lets it doen. Inconsistent and often blue, using for conference calls can make you look like a zombie. I have combined with an rgb led lightsource so I can force the colour science to 'reset' and it does pickup skin tones after a few tries If it had a way to fix or adjust the white ballance it could be perfect. obviously colour can be fixed in certain applications, but sadly not in most video conference platforms.
