For a 25-40 USB camera, the clarity holds true and is good quality for either business or personal use conference calls. For higher tier such as web streaming personalities, the camera is on the low end of expectations. That being said, it meets expectations of the price point and should not be degraded for inability to overperform. 2) Light quality: The camera was not able to level lighting and provide a clear, lit view of the subject using minimal lighting. Once direct, studio lighting was added to the subject it provided a washed out view and there was no automated correction. Overall, the lighting / darkness correction of this camera is below other market options. 3) Ease-of-use: This is truly a plug n play camera. It is also a 'what you see is what you get' (WYSIWYG) camera. Overall: This camera is usable for general use or monitoring. It has a good usability for general users. For someone that is looking for a simple camera to portray images/video feed for general web conference calls or web monitoring this is a great camera. If the desire is to have a clearer balanced brightness camera you may want to steer to an alternate product. I give this 3.5 of 5 stars. Review: Great Value Cam for the Money - I've been using this camera off and on for several months now. To provide a little background, I work remotely and attend roughly 4 hours of virtual meetings per day via Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, etc. For points of comparison, I work off of a Dell Precision 3551 with a built-in webcam and, when docked, I generally use a Logitech 1080p Pro Stream. Field-of-View: The Amcrest has a very wide viewing angle compared to all my other cameras. I would say that is both it's best and it's worst feature depending on what you're looking for. For my job, I need the camera to sit atop my monitor and look at my face\upper torso. The Amcrest's wide angle is a little wide for this use-case, which ends up giving a very slight fish-eye effect at the outer edges that could be avoided with a narrower angle. It also shows more of my home office's room than I'd like colleagues to see. That being said, there are other use cases where the very wide angle lens has been extremely handy. During the lockdown we hosted a couple family events via Zoom and pointed the camera at the entire room of people, which was extremely nice compared to the narrower field-of-view of my Logitech which could not see the whole room. Image Quality: Compared to other 1080p Amcrest products that I own, I feel the resolution is a bit softer. It's also softer than the Logitech, but still quite a bit sharper than the laptop's built-in webcam. The white balance is a bit cooler and the tint tends to lean enough towards green that I immediately noticed it, but only I think because I was specifically watching for it. The dynamic range is a bit lower than my Logitech and the detail in my dark hair tends to get crushed in shadow while my light skin softens and washes out. Microphone: The microphone is usable. I would say that it may actually be better than the Logitech's built-in mic (which is also usable). That being said, I would only recommend it for general business\personal type use and certainly not for hosting a webinar, or recording any music. Software: The Amcrest (as far as I can tell) does not offer any software for image adjustments while the Logitech does. Some apps, like Zoom, have image adjustment features baked directly into the app that allow you to correct things like the tint, contrast and exposure, which is great since those were things I didn't love about this cam. However, many other apps (at least at time of writing this review) do not offer these adjustments. In these cases, the Logitech has a companion software that allows you to tweak aspects of the image while the Amcrest does not. I feel that my review has pointed out a lot of little details that aren't quite perfect, and while I stand by that, there are very few webcams that I would consider to have very high image\audio quality at the sub fifty dollar price point. In fact, the Logitech I daily drive and my main point of comparison costs between double and triple what this one costs and is certainly not double or triple the quality. I consider this a great value camera for the money and would still recommend it. Especially if you use a software like Zoom that allows you to tweak a couple aspects of the image or if you like the very wide angle lens. ## Features - Experience magnificent full-HD 1080P.

As a lot of us are working from home or school from home, I was looking for a web cam just to be able to have enough for all the needed Zoom, Google Meets and other work / school needs. The technology gods must have heard my concerns and saw an ad for this camera. Thought I'd give it a run. To be honest, I am familiar with Logitech or Microsoft when it comes to web cams...not familiar with Amcrest. But from what I've read, and researched, they are very familiar with camera technology. The camera came in a soft envelope packaging from Amazon - VERY QUICKLY. 3 to 5 days at most. Inside the envelope a small box - 4" x 2.5" x 3" (approximate). But packaged securely and very well. Setup was a breeze. Literally plug it in and Windows 10 recognizes it. Used it on two different computers. Both setup super easy. Now, as far as quality goes, let me put things into perspective. I've dealt with two main web cams. 1. A 14 year old Microsoft web cam that no longer even worked with a PC. 2. A Macbook Pro for work. The Microsoft and Macbook cameras are polar opposite. The old one was grainy, and low definition where the Macbook is extremely clear, bright, and colors seem vibrant. My first impression of the Amcrest camera was that a bit dull. Not that it is bad - just that it wasn't seemingly as brilliant compared to the Apple camera. But others have said it compared to or was better than their Mac. I do believe that my lighting played a large roll in how the camera looked. This camera has what I think an amazing wide view. Three to four people could be around a computer and could see them all fine. An no distortion or fish eye. Video is clear! Certainly a high quality camera. In fact we actually lowered the "quality" and wide angle range so that it wasn't so wide for classroom settings and Google Meets. The audio seems to be more than sufficient, although for one of my kids classes, they had to step a few feet back so that their full body could be seen for a "speech" type assignment. It was a little quiet in that situation. But for a Zoom / Google meets situation - GREAT! Overall, I'll give this 5 stars. I really do believe that the quality of this camera for the price makes this an incredible value. I did see a difference between my Macbook Pro's built in camera and this one as mentioned above - however I would not lower any of the ratings or value to this webcam. Amcrest did a great job on this camera. Overall VERY impressed. ## Frequently Bought Together - Amcrest 1080P Webcam with Microphone & Privacy Cover, Web Cam USB Camera, Computer HD Streaming Webcam for PC Desktop & Laptop w/Mic, Wide Angle Lens & Large Sensor for Superior Low Light (AWC201-B) - Logitech H390 Wired Headset for PC/Laptop, Stereo Headphones with Noise Cancelling Microphone, USB-A, in-Line Controls for Video Meetings, Music, Gaming and Beyond - Black - Logitech MK120 Wired Keyboard and Mouse Combo for Windows, Optical Wired Mouse, Full-Size Keyboard, USB Plug-and-Play, Compatible with PC, Laptop - Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/197691004-1080p-webcam-with-microphone-and-privacy-cover-web-cam-usb](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/197691004-1080p-webcam-with-microphone-and-privacy-cover-web-cam-usb) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-10-12*
