PowerConf C200 2K Webcam for PC/Laptop/Mac, Computer Camera, Low-Light Correction, AI-Noise Canceling Mics, Adjustable Field of View, Built-in Privacy Cover, Stereo Mics, for Meeting

Easy to use and high quality video. It was plug and play for me and now I can shut my laptop and just look up at the external monitor

I'm not a "techie" person, so I needed something simple to install, yet that would provide a clear and professional image to my clients when I do virtual meetings. I was replacing a camera that had stopped being reliable (sometimes worked, sometimes didn't), and I was dreading having to do through a setup or install process with a new one. Fortunately, the install process was a piece of cake! In fact, the install was MUCH simpler than tinkering around trying to get my old camera to work! What a relief! I've had it for a few months now, and it was a good choice for me. It was SO worth a little extra money to get this camera in terms of quality and ease of use. One small detail I really like is that the lens cover for privacy is INSIDE the camera. That is a nice design touch. It's orange, so you can easily tell whether the lens cover is on or off, but it doesn't attract and hold dust the way the little ridges on an external privacy cap does. At first, I thought the lens cover looked "thin" and I was waiting for the day when it would jam and ruin the image from the camera. That hasn't happened -- however, I might recommend that anyone with small children keep the camera and the kids away from one another. I can see a kid really enjoying making the orange appear and disappear with the slider -- until it breaks. The lens cover should be fine with adult use, but it's not a toy for children. The picture is clean and crisp. So far (knock on wood) the camera has been reliable and there have been no headaches. I've used it with Teams and Zoom without issues. I can recommend this one without hesitation.

Not sure if this was available a couple of years ago when I bought the camera I replaced with this Anker, but if it was I wish I would've bought it then. I only use webcams for remote work and didn't want to spend much on one given that fact. Without going into to many details about the previous camera, my main complaint was that it constantly had issues staying connected to my computers (Windows and Mac). This one has zero issues connecting and staying connected, I like its blocky form better, the stand has nice tension and stays exactly where you put it, you can't see it in the photos but there's a hole to thread it into a camera stand which I use, does a great job of adjusting aperture in low-light situations so you don't even need a light, and the privacy cover is a nice feature. There's software for updating the firmware (I haven't seen an update in the 4 months I've had it but I've also had no problems with the cam), as well several image related options like resolution, white balance, and color and which direction it picks up sound if you use the cam's built in mic (I don't). It's as easy as plugging it into your computer to use. Then installing the AnkerWorks program allows you to control all of the settings on it and it's simple to use too. Couldn't be happier with this cam for what it costs.

The camera image quality and microphone is great and better than what my laptop has. The auto focusing was accurate, quick, and could focus on everything that I tested. I was especially happy that I could display things up close to the camera and that the camera would focus on it clearly. Set up was very easy, I just had to plug it into my laptop. I saw that there is a special software that I can use to customize the camera more, but out the box things seemed perfect for my usage. I will still take a look at what the software offers since it seems like firmware updates come from there. You can easily cover the camera by sliding a bar on the top of the camera to the left, which is always a nice feature to have. However, one thing I am concerned about is that the slider cover for the camera seems to electrically disable the camera rather than simply block the lens. My laptop has a similar switch that disables the connection to the camera, but the switch became loose which led to the camera rapidly and randomly connecting and disconnecting multiple times. That issue with my laptop led me to buy this camera, and I hope that a similar issue does not happen in the future with this camera through the slider breaking. I was a little worried about the grip of the camera hanging from my laptop, but after putting it on and shaking my laptop screen a bit, I found that it was pretty stable and didn't move. One last thing, the packaging is very nice! It was fun to unbox.

I have been searching and searching for a home office web cam in order to have video calls with friends and family.....Amazon has a generous selection.....I first tried the Logitech C920 series consisting of the "e" and "x" models.....At first I returned the "e" because the color consistency....The "x" was better in color but had no real depth of field....every time I would push back a little, the focusing would go bananas and the lighting element would cause the picture to go very dark...it would equalize in about 4-7 seconds, but that is not acceptable......Also, the backlighting would not during bright periods of the day made the picture very white with flashing on one side of my face.... So then I saw a video comparing the Logitech Brio 4k and the Anker C200 2k....one was ~ $200 and one was ~ $60...this video has remarkable results and was very fair in the test performed.....The Brio 4k had warmer tones, a little better text sharpness but the auto-focus was very slow; especially when you moved side to side and up and back.....The Anker had a fast auto-focus and a fantastic ability to use low light...Even in a room with no light, the picture was excellent and had all room elements there and you could not tell, there was no light.... The price for the Logitech Brio 4k was unexplainably high considering the issues I observed....Don't get me wrong, Logitech make super products, and I have a key board that has lasted over 8 years. But for me, I believe they missed the boat on this one, or maybe I just got a bad unit....it was over-priced and the slow auto-focus was a no-go for me... As for the Anker C200 2k, I couldn't be happier...I own numerous ANker products as well, including chargers, EverFrost 40L dc cooler, ANker 767 solar generator and 3 Anker solar panels...But the main reason I chose this unit over the Logitech Brio 4k was because of the backlighting and low light feature and the near flawless auto-focus; not to mention it cost.... So, if you want a cheap and very good web cam , try this one out....it won't be a disappointing experience....

I got this Anker C200 webcam to replace my Logitech C270 webcam. I started having multiple crashes during Zoom meetings and read that it could be due to Logitech drivers. I've only used this Anker webcam for a couple of Zoom meetings, so far no crashes, I hope this solves the problem. I like the solid build quality of this Anker webcam, I like the indicator light that shows when the camera is in use, I like the built-in privacy shutter that not only physically covers the lens, but is also a switch that turns off the camera sensor, the webcam still shows up as a connected USB device, just no video signal. I like that there are multiple settings options for resolution, view angle and microphone modes in addition to the normal color / brightness settings. There are settings for 360P, 720P, 1080P and 2K resolution, angle of view for 65 degree, 78 degree and 95 degree. A selection for the microphone between omni-directional and directional pick-up. The microphone on my Logitech is not very good and produces a very low / weak audio signal, people in my Zoom meetings tell me the audio on the Anker is loud, clear and good quality. I have it set to directional pick-up, have not tried the omni-directional as I know that will just pick up sounds from the room. The camera has an auto focus which is nice, what I don't like is the what I call "focus hunting". Not as bad as other cameras and more of a pet peeve of mine, but it might be nice to have a setting between normal auto focus and a less aggressive auto focus that "hunts" for focus less. The picture quality is good, better than most webcams I've seen, but you can still see the compression / processing artifacts in the picture even at 2K. This might be helpful with bandwidth when streaming at 2K and for the price, it's really good picture quality. The Anker seems to have much better overall light and low-light quality. My Logitech camera would make me look washed-out here and there even after making settings adjustments. The Anker has a much more natural look without the washed-out forehead. Color Balance control seems to be better with the Anker. I can give my webcam image a nice warm light look which stays set. The Logitech and the Auto White Balance setting of the Anker pick up on the LED lighting in my room and set the camera to a blue-ish / daylight setting. The Logitech was hard to set differently and wouldn't always hold my settings, so two thumbs-up there for Anker. I'm very pleased with this Anker webcam. At about double the price for the Logitech C270, for me, it offers more than double the results. It has more settings and options than what Logitech offers. The Anker software is clean, intuitive and functions well. If you're tired of struggling with those cheaper, low quality, works just "OK" cameras and want something that looks and sounds nice, the Anker C200 2K webcam is certainly worth getting.

I wasn't sure what to expect with this camera being reasonably priced. Installation was simple and the camera worked straight away. Clear image, vibrant colors and decent sound. It records in a few resolutions and found that 1080 is the best for general use. It handles ambient light well keeping colors accurate and good low light capture.

Its a good cheap camera, its always in "2K" mode unless you download the software, and then there seems to be issues with changing the resolution. I use it for streaming, and the image quality is grainy, even after messing with settings.
