Pros & Cons
Pros
The inbuilt mic has decent pickup for it’s size and works well from a wide angle. The mic itself is a little tinny, but isn't overly unpleasant. At a normal distance the mics pick up my audio very well, there is no popping and quite frankly i can now ... Read More
As it's a wider lens, i am able to utilise the microphone built-in on the camera too. In future when i eventually go for an upgrade i can imagine i'd still have this camera in use for secondary purposes.
P at 30fps are perfect to achieve a clear and smooth video on my calls. Image quality is an improvement over my 7 year old work laptop and 11 year old imac. Video quality is better than my macbook pro 2015's inbuilt camera. I have another webcam logit... Read More
The privacy cover is also a very nifty addition. The camera cover is easy to attach and further protects the camera lens.
Camera mounted on top of a monitor with adjustable clamp. Fits nicely to laptop screens (even slimline ultra books) and sits very solidly on the desk or on a table if you want to use it that way. Tightly grips the camera to the top of the monitor and ... Read More
Cons
This webcam is not worth what i paid. Don't believe the hype, look elsewhere.
Highlights
Quality
This doesn’t mean the image is bad, generally the image quality is good and would be acceptable for web cam chats (work and social etc).
I have been very happy with the quality and ease of use of this camera
- mic quality is better for amcrest.
However, the microphone quality is not up to scratch therefore i had to use an additional microphone due to the poor quality.
Price
The amcrest awc195-b is a brilliant little camera for the price.
I couldn't believe how good a picture it was and a such a low price.
Shipping
They offered up a number of potential fixes prior to shipping a fresh unit.
Packaging/appearance
There is no nasty software to install, no oversized packaging to store/landfill, and it really works well.
The packaging for such a low-cost item is great.
The box the camera came in was smaller than i had expected, but in hindsight my expectations were off the mark and the packagin... Read More
The packaging was nice (maybe a little too much plastic but that's a minor point!
Competitiveness
The design of the camera is very nice and easily better than some of the competitors like logitech and microsoft.
The amcrest awc195-b 1080p webcam delivers exactly what you would expect from a device in this price bracket with a few nice to... Read More
The camera features a sleak wide and low profile design which allows it to rest on top of a monitor without being unobtrusive.
It offers a 1080p 30fps video which is nice but isn’t the best i have seen.

The others camera i compare with works way better on that scenarios of lowhigh light and i don’t consider that is too low light to that poor performance…i compare this camera with the macbook pro 2019 built in camera and with the logitech hd pro webcam c920

With natural light the logitech and amcrest are quite similar in quality but everything change with low light being the amcrest the worst of three

The sony headphones has nothing to do with that
