Face Recognition USB IR Camera for Windows Hello, RGB 1080P (Entry Level) Webcam with Dual Microphone

Great camera for Windows Hello. Works flawlessly and will also recognize my kids, wife, etc and log on their separate profiles without a problem once they're set up. I got the very old version of this, the one without the "Kaysuda" on the front and 720p resolution. It is a bit fuzzy and low rez for video calls, but for Windows Hello on Windows 10 and Windows 11 it has been flawless. TIP: When I first switched to a Windows 11 box it did not work. Just showed up as a camera, not a Windows Hello device. If this happens, don't waste your time troubleshooting and trying to auto-update drivers, just email [email protected] requesting Windows 11 drivers for your device (I looked up the original order here on Amazon and gave them the full title of the old listing from my order history). They responded within a day over the weekend with a download link for the proper drivers. Downloaded the file, ran virustotal (just to be safe), unzip and run setup, reboot and I'm back in business. This responsive support, on an older version of the product, I really appreciate and it earns the 5th star for me.

I liked the way Windows Hello worked with my wife’s new laptop so I was looking for a way I could do the same thing with my desktop system. This devices seems a bit expensive for its specialized login use, but in the few days I have had it, it is working fine and logs me in quickly and reliably. I didn't want it perched on the top of my monitor so I placed underneath the monitor (see pic) and it works well there. The USB cable was long enough to reach my computer under the desk. The User Manual recommended USB 2; the product description on Amazon recommended USB 3. I had a USB 3 port open so I used it and it worked although I think it is a USB 2 device. Apparently the important thing is to plug it directly into the computer and not use a hub. The reason I didn’t review this product higher was the setup process. First of all, the User Manual was printed in such a small font that many users will need a magnifying glass to read it. The instructions are poorly written and were mostly screen shots from the Windows Hello setup screens. As near as I can tell, there is no company website that lists and supports the product. The instructions on the Amazon site were different from the instructions that came with the product although both referred to downloading a .rar file. There are a couple problems with that. First of all, many users are confused and uneasy about downloading in general, especially from sites that in are in Chinese and/or referenced only by an IP address. Also, many Windows users don’t know what a .rar file is or what to do with it once it is downloaded. They probably have to get software to extract the files and then infer that they are supposed to run the Setup.exe program. There is nothing in the instructions about any of that. For a product that will be used only by Windows users, a .zip file would have been a better choice, or, better yet, a self-extracting installer program. I was able to download and extract the files and my anti-virus software scan said they were OK. The file properties indicated they were from Realtek. As I was debating whether to proceed with the setup, I happened to look again at the instructions that came with the camera and saw they mentioned that you could also use Windows Update. I tried that and the Realtek drivers were found. The Windows Hello setup was a breeze after that. Here are my revised setup instructions: Plug in the camera and run Windows Update. If it works great, if not send it back or attempt the download process. My advice to the company is to focus on the Windows Update approach and put any mention of .rar downloads in a separate troubleshooting section with detailed instructions. Or, better yet, develop an installer program. On a different topic, and I'm sure this has been mentioned elsewhere, realize that this camera does not make your computer any more secure unless you change your 4 digit PIN to a real password. Update: I have been using this device for a few weeks now and have been pleased with its performance. It is fast and reliable. If you happen to be looking away when its light comes on looking for you, Windows will ask for your PIN. If you click "Sign-in Options" and then click the face icon, it will retry. Update 2 for Windows 11: I got the camera in early 2019 and it worked great until a Windows 10 update in late 2021. When I updated to Windows 11, I hoped that would fix it -- it didn't. After trying various things with nothing working, I happened to be looking in the original setup folders and happened to see: ...\DX2_FW_V0011\UvcCamDownload_AllInOne_RsProxy.exe and the corresponding .docx instructions. I ran it as administrator, and success! Working great again.

This camera "just works", and turned out to be a great purchase. It installed easily, and works for both Windows 11 facial recognition as well as providing a good quality picture for video conferencing. It stays put on top of my primary monitor without adhesive, and has some up/down adjustment built in. I've used it for about 5 years in an office environment where I rarely move or disconnect it. I use my laptop as a desktop replacement. In my configuration at my work desk, I use a USB connected port replicator for all signal connections (mouse, keyboard, this camera, monitors, etc). I have this camera sitting on top of my primary monitor, so that when I power-on my laptop (without opening the lid) this camera is used for Windows 11 facial recognition to unlock. The camera is recognized by several video conferencing apps, an provides a good quality picture.

Update 2: One of the cameras I bought failed exactly (to the day) one year after my purchase (camera works fine but audio became intermittent and attempts at fix didn't work). They replaced it with no questions asked (and PROMPTLY!!). It's not as good as the Brio, but it's a third of the price and works well. Update: I bought a second one of these, and now have nearly a year's experience with the older one. I also have a Logitech Brio on a third computer. The two Kaysudas (different computers - one home-built gamer, the other Dell Workstation) have worked with every version of Win10x64 since 1909 (up to and including 20H2) with no problems. The video is clearly inferior to the Brio, and there is no advanced control panel like logitech supplies, but I use it for Zoom etc. and it always looks great and works perfectly. Having Windows Hello also is a real time saver for me. If you just want a videocam for routine things, you can't beat the value, but if you need really high quality video, buy the Brio (but be prepared to pay much more. Original review: Well, only one day's experience, but here it is: 1. Installed on PC using updated Win10 Pro (feature ver 1909). Plugged in USB connector. Drivers installed automatically (IR and vid camera showed up in device manager). Went to Windows Hello. Facial recognition with and without glasses took 30 sec and everything worked perfectly. Perfect installation. 2. The camera's base gives a good variety of options for installing on monitor or even underneath. Once I try several options I think I'll use double-sided adhesive tape to make sure it doesn't slip (it's stable on top of my monitor but clearly could be moved if the monitor is jarred. 3. Will try to update in the future once I have had experience with conferencing and photo/video grabbing.

Works as advertised, the picture is much better than the old one, though the colours could be brighter. I am sure that is easily adjusted if I get the energy, I brought it mainly for the windows login and that works well, so I am just soooooo happy.

Avaliação da Kaysuda CA20 Cumpre na íntegra as funções descritas: o reconhecimento facial no Windows Hello é instantâneo.

bueno para el reconocimiento facial, tiene que estar a menos de 90 centímetros de la cámara, la imagen para conferencia es muy mala, no parece 1080, se ve borroso y granulado.

Bought this for my PC to work with Windows 10 hello. I was using an Xbox Kinect 2 camera from one of my Xbox One's but decided to put it back with the Xbox. This seemed to be one of the best priced Hello compatible camera's available on Amazon.ca so I took a chance on it. What can I say, it's faster than my Kinect camera was for recognition, much, much smaller and lighter. So much so I hardly notice it on top of my monitor. Very happy. Pros: - relatively small in size - very fast facial recognition - works great in low light/darkness - every bit as good as the Xbox Kinect camera it's replacing Cons: - none so far!
