Elgato Facecam

Great webcam with no frills (no mircophone you'd have to pay for). Good optics and sensor - not quite 'big optics', but good by webcam standards. The auto exposure, focus and white balance work well, and do well in dim lighting too - albeit the image will become noisy. The Elgato Camera Hub software seems to have issues (freezing, stuttering) so you're better off with NVidia Broadcast if available. The lens is quite wide angle, so for single user you'll need to digitally crop/zoom the image. Because the sensor is only 1080p, you'll get a pixelated image. The display-top mount is quite loose in yaw when the camera is screwed in at the default user-facing orientation, so I had to add a rubber washer to keep it aimed. Also, the lens cap is quite tight when snapped in place, so it can be tricky to not jostle the camera if you regularly place and remove the cap. The camera is quite power hungry and requires USB 3.0, so it won't work with just any USB-C cable, nor over just any USB hub. To switch between my two PCs without crawling under my desk, I needed to get an extra cable from Elgato (not expensive though). I previously had a 1080p 60fps webcam, a compact MFT DSLR camera over a USB 2.0 HDMI capture dongle, and it ran fine anywhere; but in that case the camera was powered separately. So it's not a USB data rate issue, it's a power requirement issue - 1080p60 can pass through USB 2.0 just fine.

Bra pris på en prisvärd kamera! Under de mest optimala förhållanden så är denna kameran grym men kommer tyvärr bli Facecam Pro när den kommer till sverige för min del. Har en hel del "Hot Pixels" på mitt exemplar, samt extremt mycket noise när man inte har tillräckligt bra belysning.
