Review: Perfect! - I am a tech kinda guy so I knew what I was getting when I bought this one. I was sick of the high priced garbage being sold as HD webcams from major players. Over the last 4 years I tried 3 different models from what I thought would be the "logical" place to get a good camera but was PO'd at all of them. I sent the expensive "best" one back within 24 hours. I drilled down hard on the specs that would make me smile and went shopping. I found this one. Oh yeah. It works. I built my own plastic case and lens cap for it and Velcro'd it to the top of my desktop monitor. Cleanest video I have ever seen in a "webcam". The mic is good too. If you find this one with the exact same specs, buy it. BTW.....I may have gotten the last one as I went back the next day to get another one but it was marked as "Out of Stock". Hope not...it really works well....really!
Review: Saved me with showing documents on videoconferencing. - I needed a better webcam for showing documents during video conferencing. My webcam has good resolution, brightness and contrast, but not a good focal distance. This camera is superior in all respects. The video image is superb. It works well with linux. It automaticaly focuses on my document, down to a few cm (haven't tried closer than that), and now no one complains at all about the image, no matter how small I write. The only issue that I found was that it can have trouble focussing at times when the sun shines through the trees and then the window on my document. The motion seems to confuse it. It would probably be annoying to see something like that without loss of focus, so I just close the shades anyway. Best 'webcam' I have seen.

## Features

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect
*by D***C on 19 June 2023*

Great camera for 3D printing. The auto focus works well, even on extreme close ups. Most of the USB cameras are not suitable for mounting inside a 3D printer enclosure, but this one is great. Small in size, fits almost anywhere. The short focal length flexibility of this camera is awesome. Will buy another.
