    This camera washes out really badly just from my monitor. My office has a window and I have to close the blinds to get a decent picture. So it’s ability to adjust to different lighting is poor. I would not recommend. It’s only good is the mic seems to be decent. I will be looking for a different set up.

    A NECESSITY DURING PANDEMIA ONLINE MEETINGS

    This AWC2KF webcam is all you need during these lockdown time when all your gatherings have to be online. If you want crisp, clear and the best image of yourself, you have to go for this little webcam that is huge in performance. Built-in laptop webcams are poor quality, that's why buying a clip on webcam is a most. is super easy to install, just plug in and voilá, you're ready to go. Just remember to disable your laptop integrated webcam and you'll see the difference in quality image. The microphone works great. Love the compact size, as is easy to fit in laptop case or bag. The autofocus works to perfection. You can always choose between auto or manual focus. It even has a document mode, not too sure for what, but I'll keep exploring this little amazing webcam.

    I usually never give 5 stars for anything because that assumes perfection which is impossible. That said I went to buy a different webcam with an integrated microphone & it was as out of stock so I chose this one reluctantly. I did save about $10 though which was cool. This webcam has been pretty good. The only complaint I have about it is that it uses double sided tape to attach to your monitor or whatever you decide you’d like to mount it to. So if you want or need to move it make sure you have a good supply of double sided tape on hand. Otherwise I have no complaints. I took all my state insurance license exam using it & have used it for no less than 3 video conferences for work. It does what it’s supposed to do. The video/audio quality seems to be good & stable. No issues. A great buy for the $$ & likely just as good as much more expensive models. Setting it up was no issue in the least. Quite an easy process.

    Amazingly simple. Plugged it into my Windows 10 computer and in seconds it was up and running. Beautiful, clear and crisp picture. Neat features and very easy to use. You do not have to be a geek to operate this webcam with professional results. Also, Best Buy was great. I ordered this online, drove over to the store, checked in from the parking lot, and in less than 3 minutes, they brought it out to my car and I was on my way back home! The way business should be done to keep you coming back!

    Pretty good product, better than many I've used. Simple, basic. Has decent camera and the lens is wide enough. Mic is typical-- not very directional so you get a lot of room noise, but quality is OK. Wish it had an input for an external mic. Flip-down lens cover is useful. Mounting is weak. Requires velcro so you can't adjust it once set. Tilting it just right is cumbersome. Above average. Shop around for best price-matching at Best Buy.

    This is definitely one of the easier webcams I've used. I just plugged it in, and it was golden. The autofocus works perfectly, and the camera quality is fine. The only reason I've given four rather than five stars is the camera display doesn't really look 2k on most video call platforms I've used. It's nice and much better than the last camera I had, but it's not the nicest 2k camera I've seen. Granted I paid $38 for it rather than $60 or $70. For that price, it's fantastic.

    I bought this for work to replace an older huddle room cam I was using during lockdown. Image quality, focusing and white color balance is excellent. Colour balance is better than the Logi 4K brio I use on my personal MacBook. Extremely easy to use - plug it in and that’s all you have to do. Only reason I’m giving it 4 stars is the lack of zoom and software utilities.

    To be honest at first i am not looking on this brand to consider in purchasing a webcam. A friend told me that he is using this and he is satisfied. So i gave it a try. I went to bestbuy and search for this brand. With hesitation i still bought it and give it a try. This webcam is really easy to setup. Actually it is a plug and play gadget. Few days later. I need to attend a zoom meeting and also to try this one. Inwas surprised because most of the people i know in the meeting noticed that my video is sharp and crisp. I was so happy. I am greatful that i got this as my webcam. I highly recommend this to all my friend actually i already did. I am planning of getting another webcam from aluratek. Thank you.

    Pros: The image is alright. The auto focus works generally. Cons: The image is really grainy for me. Everything always look a little bit blurry. The auto focus is slow and doesn't truly focus at times. It's so dang bright. The base settings made me look like a cloud with any amount of light on. I had to wait until it starting getting dark out before I was not purely white. And to answer the question of "why don't you just turn the settings down?" It doesn't help, you always will look washed out in a well lit room, it has to be dimly lit for the camera to look any kind of good. The "2k" doesn't really look like "2k". It's a pretty whatever picture and the 60 fps doesn't look very good either. Basically no software support from Aluratek. This webcam is a piece of work. I've had it for at least a year now, and while it's better than no webcam, the thing has frustrated me for months with how bright the image is, and how grainy it looks when it is actually dark enough to see you. If you are like me and you saw this for a huge discount and thought it's definitely good for the price, it really isn't. TLDR: The image isn't very good, too bright, too grainy. Bad software. Works, but look elsewhere. I just bought the Anker PowerConf C200 for $50 and it's so so so so much better. I didn't realize how bad I had it until I got the Anker one. Check that one out or really any of the Logitech ones under $50 and they'll probably look at good, if not better, than this Aluratek trash.

    The video quality is excellent! It comes with a detachable lid so you can cover the camera. Which is useful. I have two issues. The audio is really low. I've had people comment that they can barely hear me. So I would recommend that you get a separate mic. Another issue is the clip. Not sure how this clips to a computer screen. It has a flap but the cord that comes with it makes the clip crooked because the cord hits the screen. Luckily it does come with a tripod head so I have a tiny tripod on my desk. Unfortunately, because of that the camera angle of myself has me looking away since I'm looking at the screen and not at the camera. I'm keeping it as it's my backup but really wished the audio was better. I would recommend it if you have an additional mic.

    An honest Review from ariane Anderson

    Since covid I am doing zoom calls all the time for school, work, job interviews, and I also work as a virtual audience member for tv shows. I was looking into upgrading my webcam for better clarity, sound, and overall performance since I am constantly on camera and I feel like the standard webcam is decent but could use some upgrading. I had looked at this brand & noticed they have many other products with good reviews so I tried this one. The clarity is great, I love how I can position my camera up and down to get different angles. The set up process was very easy as I followed the instructions. I think it’s a decent affordable webcam and 2k HD is great for anyone who isn’t a professional you tube blogger. This will do you good.

    Solid Inexpensive Webcam

    Bought this to be able to use on my desktop. Wanted to try out some streaming and use it for video chatting. Camera works well, however, you have to have decent lighting on your face to really get it to perform where you want it. The only draw back is that it shoots in 30fps, wish it was up to 60fps. I mic on it seemed fine. I didnt buy it with the intention to use the mic but it was clear enough for video chatting. If you just want to video chat it shouls get the job done. If you want to record your face or stream id recommend another mic option. I bought it on sale for about $35 and it definitely performs better than what I paid for it.

    I'd give it a 5 but the mounting is poorly engineered. It sits atop my monitor - but never is really secure. Audio and video are good, good resolution.

    This is a great camera! First, it is very easy to set up. As soon as I plugged in the USB, it was ready to go. Also, the camera is super clear, definitely better than the standard computer camera. It also comes with a shield to cover the camera when you want some privacy. Overall,this is a great product.
