This webcam was simple to set up, simply plug it in to a USB port and you are done. Crisp picture and easy to adjust. If you are concerned with privacy simply unplug when you aren't using.

This is a nice user-friendly plug and play webcam. I needed something for Zoom meetings and this suits the role. The image looks great.
The reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is that the way it attaches to a device (like my PC monitor) works ok. But it doesn't take much effort at all to move it. Against no resistance it stays in place just fine. But a graze of a finger, or a cat's paw, and it tends to move around.
Finally the microphone was ok but not great. It's a tiny pinhole on the front. I have a headset with a microphone built in and the audio on it sounds noticeably better.
For a beginner, or someone who wants the functionality but doesn't care that it isn't studio quality, this a great unit, especially at this price point. For my needs (the occasional Zoom meeting) this is great.

An overall great webcam that is at a decent price. A very easy plug-and-play camera with a very crisp image and sound.
Some things preventing me from giving this a full 5 stars:
- Has now a simple software program to download from the creators website to customize some of the settings of the camera. Wish there was a few more options to customize it, but still overall happen I can change some of the picture settings.
- Biggest thing I have noticed however is that since there is a lack of an off-switch on it, it is still using some power. Besides the little red light, the top of the unit is a little warm from using some electricity even when it is not in use. Thus the only way to have it truly "off" and not wasting electricity is to unplug it.
-No rubber on the gripping arm or stand means that it can be a little tricky to find the perfect place for the camera to sit. Some tape can fix this, but would have been nice to have rubber grips included.

Hey Spacegamer, input on the JVCU100 is always welcome and we thank you for it. As for the companion app being limited to only a few setting adjustments, we completely understand and will be improving on that in regards to potentially adding more configurations. We do have the JVCU435 being 4K capable that includes a remote to switch the camera off when not in use, rubber gripping and zooming in and out as a feature. If interested in learning more about the JVCU435, please feel free to contact the support team printed on the casing to speak with a rep and they will be glad to help. Sincerely, j5create

Bought this for the purpose of being observed in a classroom via zoom. (College stuff) The camera works perfect. Easy to position and move to other locations. The mic ..not so good. Unless I was within a couple of feet it would cut out, not pick up at all, etc. I was able to use mic from my HP laptop and this camera to conduct the observation. If this was only being used at the desk in a normally sitting range, no leaning back, I would say it works perfect.

I've only used it twice. But each time I used a different video chat/meeting service. The camera worked great with both programs. It is not the brand I was looking for. But all the Logitech webcams are sold out every where. So, I took a chance with this one. I am happy it works great. Set up was super easy.

During this "lock down" it was very difficult to find any webcams. We still use desktop systems in our office and need these units to continue our business, but just in a different way like most business today. These units were easy to set up and install and work great in connecting with our clients virtually.

It is a great camera for beginners. I received it...plugged it in, and it was ready to go. The picture is excellent...the sound perfect. I have nothing bad to say about it....it was everything I needed.
Just as a side note...there is no on and off button......but for me that is no big deal.

Hello, Thank you for your positive review of the j5create webcam. There is a green indicator light on the webcam that shows if the camera is recording. You can use the 360 degree rotation feature to point it at a wall when you are not using it. Have a good day, j5create

Video quality is nice and very simple to set up. The built-in mic has good audio and the whole camera is adjustable so that it grows the screen bezel securely. The threads at the bottom allow for a tripod to be used but I didn't have one available to try. Only complaint I have is that it sometimes conflicts with the microphone on a headset or laptop mic array etc. So if you are trying to use a headset for privacy with this cam, it's a few extra steps.

With everything moving onto Zoom I finally broke down and bought a camera (I use an external monitor with my laptop behind it, so its camera was unusable as I did not have space to put them side-by-side). Did not want to spend a lot. This camera gets the job done once I put a tripod under it to get a reasonable field of view angle (necessary because the included clip would not close enough to grip onto my external monitor). Other than the limited clip-on I would like to have it include a lens cover (I bought one seperately, however it covered the active lights on the unit (so defeated the purpose I bought the cover for!) so I just put a sticky note over the lens and I can see the red/green active lights through that.

I recently upgraded my virtual game with the j5create USB HD Webcam in a sleek black hue, and I'm thrilled to share my experience. This little gadget has become an integral part of my daily life, adding a touch of brilliance to my online interactions.
Let's talk about the star feature – that 360° rotation. It's a game-changer for someone like me who's always fidgeting around on video calls. Now, whether I'm sharing my latest project or catching up with friends, finding the perfect angle is a breeze. It's the small things that make a big difference, and this webcam nailed it.
The HD video quality is a visual treat. I find myself captivated by the vivid colors and clarity it brings to my virtual world. Auto-focus is like having a personal camera assistant, ensuring I always look sharp, even when I'm multitasking or experimenting with creative angles.
Setting it up was a breeze – a definite win for someone who isn't the most tech-savvy. The plug-and-play simplicity had me up and running within minutes. No extra software to navigate, just pure simplicity. The USB connection is a universal win, seamlessly fitting into my diverse array of devices without a hiccup.
Now, let's talk about aesthetics. The sleek black design not only matches my workspace vibes but also adds a touch of sophistication. It's compact, fitting snugly on my monitor, and the adjustable clip ensures it stays in place – no wobbles or worries.
Low-light performance? Impressive. This little powerhouse handles dimly lit situations like a pro. No need to worry about finding that perfect lighting spot – the j5create webcam brings its own spotlight to the party.
In a nutshell, the j5create USB HD Webcam has transformed my virtual interactions. It's not just a webcam; it's a game-changer that adds a personal touch to my online presence. Whether I'm working, connecting with loved ones, or simply being creative, this webcam elevates the experience. Highly recommended for those looking to step up their virtual game!

A good webcam for the money. Much better than the cam on my Asus laptop. Smoother movement, better color and better with low light conditions. Is it perfect? No. Connecting it to a tripod is tricky, the usb cable could be longer. But for the price it works really well.

Most of the high end web-cameras out there like logictech and other popular name brands are constantly sold out. The world state is what it is and everyone wants to still be able to communicate safely. Well this webcamera at its price point will definitely get the job done for you in a lot of ways.
Video feed is decent and I use mine for streaming purposes. It works well with Skype, Discord, Zoom, YouTube streaming, and Twitch streaming. I am sure it works well with any stream service but the ones I listed are the ones I have had experience with. The onboard microphone works as well but you can always use another mic source or a headset mic (most people do). Easy plug and play setup with the added functionality of being able to be placed on a tripod (which is what I needed the most anyway).
You can't really go wrong with this camera and the company that makes it has a good response time in case you have any issues.
