NexiGo N980P 1080P 60FPS Webcam with Microphone and Software Control, USB Computer Camera, Built-in Dual Noise Reduction Mics, 120° Wide-Angle for Zoom/Skype/FaceTime/Teams, PC Mac Laptop Desktop

Here's a webcam for work-from-home (WFH) users which does more than what it costs! This is second webcam I bought after trying out a less expensive $30 Unzano 1080p 30fps unit. Mind you the Unzano did the job and I would give it 5 stars too. However, I landed this 1080p 60fps NexiGo webcam since I was on a lookout for 60fps unit under the $100 price range. I bought this last 9/25/2020 for $69 and it has since dropped to $53 as of this writing. For starters, the quality on this camera is superb as long as you provide enough light. For web conferencing you probably want to light yourself up instead of looking like a vampire. After a lot of YouTube viewing of lighting techniques, I settled for two-point lighting with this camera - a filtered lamp behind and just a tad above and behind the camera and another soft light from lamp to my front left in same plane as first light source. I'm no stickler nor an expert with color profiles since I do not provide web content. So if ever there are any color issues, I have not observed any. My most important requirement is really clarity and response time which this unit excels in. For game streamers, I would think this is still a decent camera. I do not use OBS but I tried it out anyway and OBS recognizes the 60fps setting on this webcam. It plays well with other web conferencing software like Zoom, WebEx, MS Teams, Skype. I also tried it with Viber and Messenger with no issues. Installation was straightforward in Windows 10 and it is recognized as a standard USB device. No software needed to be installed as it is compatible with webcam Windows-provided driver. Note that this is not autofocus webcam. I only took one star away from rating because I think it was asking me to rate something that manufacturer already declared as not being able to do. You will need to manually turn the outer lens ring to focus on your most probable head position and webcam distance. Once that's set, you probably do not normally need to fiddle with it. I included an image with this review taken from the built-in webcam photo option with the webcam located 2 feet from my face and with 2-point lighting I described above. At 2 feet distance (or even nearer) built-in dual mics from Webcam do not pick up sound that well. This is not a big deal for me because I already decided to forego with this and use a lapel mic for my web conferences. I included image for my physically-configured webcam. Webcam is supported from an articulating boom arm and drops the camera just below the top of my monitor. This allows me to still see some of my desktop windows while I am in conference mode. The webcam by itself has the standard up-down-left-right flexibility so you can really fine-tune the position especially if you mount it to boom arm or any desktop stand and couple it to other tripod attachments you have. Since webcam does not have a lens cover, I scavenged some Lego parts and made myself a folding lens cover which I mounted on top of camera using some 3M adhesive tape. I also cobbled together a holder for my cardioid lapel mic which I clip just below the webcam so it does not appear in field-of-view. This configuration with webcam around 1 to 1.5 ft. from my face and with mic level set at around 85% gives me the optimum conferencing settings for both video and audio. I am currently happy with this webcam especially since it does not break the bank as other standard brand webcams like Logitech, Razer or Microsoft. I would highly recommend this webcam for WFH users who are in the market for reasonably-priced webcam that does the job.

First off, I am not a professional camera person so I can speak to the technical abilities of this great little video camera. What am is a parent who was in a rush to get a good video camera for my child's online schooling for this year due to COVID-19. I searched high and low with camera prices ranging from less than 40$ to over $250! I finally found this camera, read the reviews, and decided to give it a try. Well I can say that this is an excellent video camera for the vast majority of us that want a low cost, quality video camera for work, video chat, online schooling, or other popular video platforms on the Internet. I liked this video camera so much, I decided to get another one as a backup and for me to use on my computer. Here are some of the best things I like about the video camera: 1) The low price! 2) The high quality construction of the camera itself. 3) Ease of setup. With Windows 10 it was a simple plug and play and i was up and running. 4) Works flawlessly with Zoom, Schoolology, Skype, and other popular video platforms. 5) Manual focus for me. You can get a different one which does have auto focus if you want it. 6) Wide angle view, however this might be something you don't want. 7) Most important one....the high video picture quality and frame rate. The colors are really crisp, clear, and accurate. I haven't noticed any drop in frame rate with a smooth video stream!

I've owned this webcam for over a year now and it is still my main camera for my personal PC. Its field of view is actually really good for its size, its picture quality is good enough, its manual focus works surprisingly well, but the built in microphone is lackluster. For a 1080p camera however, the price to me seems a bit steep. For normal things like video calls or taking decent quality pictures or video, its fine. If you are attempting to portray yourself in a professional manner or setting, consider options with a higher resolution. The field of view on this webcam has really kind of surprised me. It sits on my secondary computer monitor close to the corner of my room and it can very easily see the entire room behind me. In every case if I need to have my webcam on for whatever reason and I'm anywhere in my room, it can see me. Kinda nuts for this type of webcam. It is entirely built out of plastic so I cant see it surviving much abuse so you might have to be careful handling it and ensure you have placed it in a secure location where it won't fall and get damaged. The manual focus feature on this webcam works really well from what I have seen. Since I use it as just a normal desktop webcam, I have never had to refocus it after the first use. The built in microphone, well, its a built in webcam microphone. Kind of sounds like your talking through a tin can. If you require a professional setup, do not rely on the built in microphone of this webcam. Overall I would rate this webcam a solid 7/10 with the only downsides being the microphone, build quality, and price.

I've had this webcam for almost four months now and it has been nothing but a great product to me. I needed to pick up a webcam for work meetings, and I also wanted to start streaming on Twitch. Like most of us, I didn't want to go out and break my wallet for a webcam and fortunately came across this NexiGo one. My personal pros: - easy to set up, simply plug in the USB - no issues with Windows 10 - great image quality even in low-light settings - 60 FPS is amazing; while not quite necessary, it is a nice feature If you're a simple person like me, this will more than do the job for work video conferences, or even streaming on Twitch for a few hours a day. If there is one area that could be a concern, it'd be the wide camera angle. Some may prefer something a little smaller so that it doesn't capture too much of your room in the background. Overall, it's proven to be a quality webcam for me of the past few months and I'm really satisfied with it.

Needed a wide-angled camera for online martial arts training: my training area ends a couple of feet away from the wall. I did a lot of research before buying this one, and my only worry was the manual focus. However, I've tested it via Zoom this morning. Not only did it get my entire training area (head to toe), but it also handled the fast movements very smoothly. The quality wasn't perfect, but that may have been Zoom compression, not the camera; I'm not sure. It was good enough for my purposes, certainly. I didn't have to touch the manual zoom: for what I'm doing, it is in focus from the back of my area to the front. My training space is about 12x12. As mentioned above, the camera is about 2 feet from the edge of the matt, mounted directly to the wall, about 3.5 feet from the ground. Their website also has a camera settings program. I installed it to see what features are present. It has most of the basic options, but settings like mirror video aren't present. They must come from your recording/video app (such as Teams or Zoom). Excellent product.

I purchased this model to try and get away from the mess that is Logitech and their endless array of webcams, most of which have some weird fluke about them that you never find out about until you get it and then have to wade through the worst customer support in the webcam industry over there. This camera worked right out of the box and provided a beautiful 4K image on my Mac running Ventura. If you want to use it for Zoom or something where the camera is within hands reach, it's awesome. I use them for wildlife and bird nest monitoring though and this camera is useless for me as IT DOES NOT HAVE AUTOFOCUS! That's right, your read that correctly. Some company in the year 2023 is selling a 4K webcam without autofocus. Hard to believe really. Certainly not printed anywhere in this Amazon sales ad. You have to dig really deep on to their website to find out that yes, indeed this webcam doesn't have autofocus capabilities. Anyway, like I said, if you are using it within arms reach where you can actually grab the 1984 style lens with the big focus ring around it when needed, it is great. If it is in a location like an Owl box or Nest cam where you cannot get to it, it is useless.

This is USB A style plug. We use if for a zoom meeting every week. I use the cord on this camera plus a 25 foot extension cord. I plug it right into the usb port on my lap top. No problems. I have been using it for two months. There is software you can download from the vendor, put I have not had to use it. Initially I had a problem on a lap top when I was connecting the camera through three usb extension cords (part of the cords built in behind the dry wall in the conference room). This replaced a 30 frames per second camera which was working fine. This is twice as fast and the difference is apparent to the participants in our zoom meetings. We don't use the microphone feature. If you have a problem, Amazon makes returns easy.

I purchased this webcam during Amazon's Black Friday 2023 sale. I got it for about $12 less than the current price. I teach 20 fitness classes a week on Zoom. I purchased an Unzano webcam during the covid shutdown. It worked well enough but the colors were washed out and inaccurate. So I thought I'd try an upgrade. This webcam gets the colors right. They're vivid and not washed out or over-exposed. Now let me tell you why this webcam is good for fitness instructors. The on board mic works well. I'm pleased with the sound quality. It's double the frame rate of my old webcam (60fps). That helps with fast movements. My old webcam had a viewing angle if 105 degrees. The edges looked a bit distorted (fisheye). This cam has a 120 degree fov and there's really no distortion. The cam has manual focus. I leave it at 3ft to infinity. It doesn't auto-focus or track where you are to adjust the fov. Those are features you don't want. You move within the frame, the cam needs to stay put. On the downside, this camera doesn't have a privacy cover or software that would allow you to tweak settings. I use mine on my 2021 MacBook Air and 2019 iMac. It was just 'plug and play'. There was nothing to fuss with. Related Fitness Instructor tip: If you're teaching on Zoom with background music, avoid doing so via Share Screen or your audio and video will get slightly out of sync now and then. Instead, attach the webcam. Open a Zoom room, click on the up arrow next to the Video icon and select "Nexigo HD Webcam". Click on the arrow next to the mic and select it there as well. That's a one-time setup. Zoom will remember it for you. Of course this webcam will work with any application. I focused on Zoom because that's what I use the most. Enjoy!
