Great but doesn't work with current software
This is a little bit of an older model, so I had a hard time finding software that was compatible with my current ios. I ended up going with a free third party software, but finding it was a bit of a journey. Otherwise, the camera quality is great, and it's very easy to use after the correct software is installed. It goes in and out of focus a bit more than I'd like, but it's still way better than the camera that came with my laptop.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Poor software
Webcam had to have firmware updated to work correctly on Windows 10. MS software doesn't work on 10, you just have to use the limited functionality of the Camera App in Windows. I use Cyberlink YouCam and it works great. The camera loses focus easily and takes too long to find it again. But, when in focus, the image is good.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Perfect Webcam
These cameras are awesome, I just bought my second one used on Ebay. They are true plug & play: Windows 10 recognizes and auto-installs the drivers. Image quality is great, auto-focus, white balance & brightness work well. A no-brainer.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Fantastic item
Somewhat tricky to set up, but works well for streaming. The quality is decent compared to much more expensive models out there, best value for the price. Not sure how it is for video chat or recording high quality videoVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
