AnkerPowerConf 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

i needed a cheap webcam just for casual hang-outs in discord with friends. I looked through so many reviews (both on amazon and youtube) to get a gist of what to expect from the device. After looking through so many reviews, i was under the impression that one NEEDED to adjust the settings with the anker software to get decent use out of it. But that is not the case!Although the software IS useful for taking control of certain settings, I only ended up adjusting 2 settings. I lessened the viewing angle to 78 degrees, and i raised the saturation by 2 points. That is IT. Very minor adjustments. The camera works really well right out of the box!Don't get me wrong, I would still recommend everyone get the software. It took just a few seconds to install, and there's a lot of video, image, and sound settings to adjust to give the user full control of how they want the video to look. (There are resolution settings, anti-flicker settings, brightness, sharpness, contrast, focus settings, etc.)btw, my desk has a shelf above the monitor area, so i don't actually have any space to attach a webcam on top of the monitor. I ended up placing the webcam on top of the shelf, angled downwards a bit, and that worked just fine!I'm happy with it!

The Anker PowerConf C200 is a powerful tool that significantly enhances the experience of working remotely. As someone frequently uses Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet for virtual meetings and collaborations, the C200 delivers exceptional performance and user-friendly features.The video quality is undeniably one of the most vital assets of this webcam. Delivering an impressive 2K resolution, the images are sharp, colors vibrant, and details clear. Whether it's an important board meeting or a casual catch-up session with colleagues, the C200 ensures that the visual representation is always top-notch.One of the critical features that particularly stands out is the ability to select the field of view. The options to choose from 65°, 78°, or 95° give users the flexibility to adjust their display according to the requirements of their virtual space. This feature sets the C200 apart from its competitors by accommodating diverse user preferences and room layouts.Given the rising concerns over digital security and privacy, the built-in privacy cover is a thoughtful addition. This feature provides an extra layer of protection, allowing the user to physically block the camera when not in use, thus ensuring complete peace of mind.Low-light performance is another area where the C200 excels. Even in less-than-ideal lighting conditions, this webcam delivers surprisingly clear video, ensuring seamless communication irrespective of environmental factors. This is particularly useful for those late-night meetings or if your workspace doesn't have ample natural light.In conclusion, the Anker PowerConf C200 is a robust, high-quality 2K webcam that brings a lot. From its excellent video quality, adaptable field of view, and built-in privacy cover, to its commendable low-light performance, it provides an ideal solution for the demands of today's remote working environment. Given its range of features and performance, the C200 offers superb value for its price point, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to elevate their virtual communication experiences.

I'm not an expert on web cams, and haven't really found one yet that I love. My first one works OK, but not well in low light, so I bought this Anker Brand C200 2K one that looks pretty cool. My friends suggested a gamer web cam, but I passed on that notion, cause I'm not really that into webcams. I use them for online meetings with customers, and that's it.Setup on my new Mac Mini M2 Pro was pretty easy, I think I just plugged it in and it worked. Tried in with the Apple Photo Booth App and it looked pretty good; much better than the one at the office, and the more light the better it worked. Then I switched camera sources and used my iPhone 12, and that shocked me, in how clear the picture was (Looked like 4K, but I don't have 4K glass). So now I'm thinking or playing with the notion of getting the 4K version of this camera. I don't think it was that much more than what I paid for this camera. This C200 starts to fail in auto focus, and the image gets a little blurry or artifacts when the light gets lower, and comes back to life when you pump up the light sources again.For the price, if you can find a good price ($50 USD), the camera or Anker C200 is a bargain and will get the job done, presenting your image with clarity and speed. The red shutter is pretty cool, turns off the camera and blocks the lens, so you don't see a red video image. It feels like it's built tough and durable, perhaps take a few drops on concrete. The build quality is really nice, it's not cheap feeling, and it fits the top of my monitor (Dell U2722D) and doesn't move on me, or fall off.Not sure if I'm keeping it yet. I can get another C200 and have 2 webcams, one for each computer at home (Mac/Windows), or try the 4K version that has "AI", and see what that looks like, with the drawback of the "AI" software perhaps making things more complicated than I want, which is why I didn't buy the gamer webcam. I'm probably leaning towards buying one more C200 for my PC and call it finished. The image quality is good enough for me not to be ashamed of in meetings, and is still a huge step up from other webcams. I have nothing bad to say about the Anker C200 webcam.
