This is one of the better webcams I have used. The light is quite nice and a good departure from the giant awkward and bulky dim ring lights everyone used through the pandemic. I LOVE the magnetic attachment, this makes it quite easy to adjust and attach to other surfaces or stands if you wanted to.
Picture quality is great and no complaints on the sound. The privacy cover I would have liked to have seen integrated into the actual structure.
Other than that it’s a nice quality camera that focuses quickly and doesn’t make me look like a corpse in video meetings.
The camera quality is great! There are a few things I can’t figure out, like why my face starts closer to the screen and then will suddenly become a wider angle and zoomed out view without me doing anything. It’s not a problem, just feels a little unpredictable. I like the feature of the light ring when extra light is needed, and it looks natural. The light is able to be controlled and offers 3 different brightnesses. It was really easy to set up and I can use it at different angles. I’ve plugged it into a Mac and a dell with no troubles. There is a way to use it free standing as well that works well. It’s a great camera over all. I feel like there are others out there for less that perform just as well, so At $100+ Currently on Amazon, that feels a little high priced. But it does work well, so not a waste by any means either.
This webcam is something else. I’ve had so many webcams over the years but this one blows them all out the water. You’ll notice the difference as soon as you feel the weight of it. It’s got a substantial weight to it, for a webcam that is. You can feel the quality of it when you hold it. And in use, it works as good as it feels. The picture quality is just night and day compared to the one’s I was using before. Yes, it’s expensive, but at least this actually delivers something for the added cost so don’t think that’s such a big issue as this is a pretty future proof webcam. It also comes with various mounting options which all work well and offer flexibility of use. The auto focus and macro feature is great as I can bring objects close to the camera and it captures them perfectly and then focuses back on me super fast when I take them away. This truly is an amazing webcam and can’t see myself using anything but this going forward.
This Webcam is great to just plug in and have no hassle trying to set it up. The image quality is as advertised. It works great in low light which is a big selling point for me. It is on the pricey side but it delivers so I can’t complain about that too much. The lighting feature is a good addition but its not very bright. My complaints would be that the privacy screen could be designed better. I would say the magnet is too strong and makes it difficult to take off. That combined with the magnetic mounting system makes it so I have to readjust the webcam every time I take the privacy screen off. Since the light is touch controlled I always turn it on when I take off the screen which is annoying too. The webcam also gets pretty warm too but I don’t think that’s much of a problem. Overall not a bad webcam, just a little inconvenient/ annoying to take the privacy screen off.
I have several webcams. I use webcams a lot in business. I need my video stream to be HD.
for me this webcam is not my first choice but it is my second and we have many here.
it might be your first choice because of the features.
1) It has a very bright light that works even when it’s mostly dark in the environment.
garbagey low level lighting will never be an issue again. I love this feature for most people
because now there is no excuse to have a dark picture. This webcam gives you all the light
you could possibly need. This is a huge plus for most people and something you won’t find
often. 98% of people who use webcams are getting a HUGE upgrade with this cam.
2) You can adjust the picture image from 2K to HD. That can make a difference in streaming
and again, this is not a feature I’ve got on other webcams here. This helps me and you both.
3) You have a very easy to use screen which allows you to adjust for contrast, brightness, hue
and it corrects for overall light behind and in front of you. That is awesome for all.
4) The sound was not perfect which surprised me. I will continue to test this but sound is
very important in our work here and we are going to leave this issue open until we find out.
We had low level sound challenges. It’s very likely this is about my specific cam and not
likely to be replicated for you. And if it is, you can always swap out.
5) The ease of set up was ridiculously easy. Plug it in, it works.
I’m very happy to recommend this webcam with 5 stars. Almost certainly you’ll be pleased.
Could not be happier with this webcam. I do a lot of Zoom calls for work and the camera on my laptop is inadequate. It is supposed to be 1080p, but it looks more like 720p, even with great lighting. The bad picture was really bothering me during large meetings; I felt like I looked less professional. I ordered this web camera after reading the reviews.
This cam worked right out of the box on my Windows Lenovo laptop. I just plugged the USB cord in and attached the cam to the top of my screen. The attachment piece is the best I’ve ever had. It’s magnetic and super easy to set up and adjust for the right angle. It’s very important that you get your cam placed close to the top center of your screen, so you can watch your meetings and also appear to have some eye contact with the other participants. This makes a big difference in your on-cam presence. Tripod webcams did not work for me because of this. This cam does come with a tripod, which is nice to have, but I probably won’t use it.
This cam works at 30 fps (2K 4MP) or 60 fps (1080p). It also has auto lighting, color & brightness adjustment that you can adjust. The built-in ring light on this cam works great. It’s easy to use with a button on top of the cam to illuminate your face and remove shadows. I was somewhat worried this may not be a high enough resolution, but it looks great and is so much better than my laptop cam.
This cam also comes with a privacy cover that attaches via a magnet. It’s a plastic piece you attach to the cam. Very easy to use.
Another awesome feature, this cam has a 90 field of vision without distortion, so you can capture multiple people in a group on one screen without people looking weird. This is a wonderful feature for conference room meetings where a team wants to do a call together.
Love this cam. Like I said, could not be happier. Would absolutely recommend it to anyone who does a lot of online meetings or presentations.
La webcam de type carr se fixe facilement sur son support magntique ou sur un trpied. L’ensemble est d’une grande stabilit.
La camra est reconnue tout de suite sous Windows 10, elle fournit des images de qualit, trs fluides.
L’autofocus fonctionne parfaitement.
Un clairage complmentaire est possible.
Les voix sont trs claires et les utilisateurs de Zoom seront ravis.
La fabrication est de bonne qualit pour ce produit haut de gamme.
The USB webcam for your computer or laptop was delivered on time and well packaged. This product is designed for professional quality video clips or web dating. Equipped with automatic lighting, color adjustment. It automatically adjusts the focal length and has a wide angle without distortion. It has a privacy magnet when you don’t need a camera plus 2 built-in microphones with noise cancellation or to adjust the noise to get a clear sound. This 2K 4 MP webcam is predestinated for PC or notebooks. It cannot be used outdoors because it does not have a battery and also it doesn’t have an App, unfortunately it is not what I was expected, and the price is too high for what it is , but this is just my opinion . The package arrived fast and well packed
J’ai pris cette webcam pour pouvoir effectuer mes visio. Elle intgre un micro qui fonctionne trs bien, je n’ai pas eu d’effet Larsen.
Le halo de lumire permet d’avoir une bonne luminosit et n’blouie pas.
La qualit de l’image est correcte pour du 2K. J’ai une fentre et mme en plein soleil, l’image n’est pas trop sature.
Webcam vraiment d’excellente qualit.
Je n’ai jamais vu une webcam aussi aboutie.
Alors oui, a ne cote pas rien mais si vous comptiez l’utiliser des fins professionnelles par exemple, vous ne serez pas du car c’est un excellent investissement.
La qualit d’image est d’excellente qualit. L’auto-focus est ultra ractif est fait vraiment trs peu d’erreurs.
On peut la positionner comme on veut car elle est aimante. On peut mme l’utiliser hors du socle, bien que celui propose dj de multiples positions.
Le carr lumineux intgr est pratique et suffisamment puissant si vous n’tes pas trs loin de la webcam.
La seule chose que je pense qu’il faudrait amliorer (en plus du prix) et le port USB C l’arrire de la webcam. Ce n’est pas trs pratique lorsqu’on y branche le cble.
part a, je ne peux que recommander cette super webcam.
Trs bonne qualit vido avec format 16/9 possible trs agrable. Le son est de trs bonne qualit d’aprs les divers interlocuteurs, y compris ceux qui ont un dbit faible. Installation rapide ne ncessitant pas de manipulations compliques. Le pilote s’installe automatiquement.
I am currently using a high end alternative well known branded webcam that is also 4K and I had used that to compare to this one. Although this webcam is slightly bigger than the one I am used to, this one is larger because it has a lighting effect around the edging. I normally use a ring light near my desk to illuminate me during live streaming, however this does a very decent job of lighting up my face as long as you don’t sit too far back. Unfortunately for me, it was a bit of a distraction having the webcam just above the monitor with the light on, so I turned the light off for the rest of my testing.
I wont bang on too much about the picture quality, but it is very decent, it handles various lighting conditions very well, but as with most cameras, the better the lighting the more this thing will shine. Colours and sharpness is high quality, and does a splendid job with the auto focus.
Most people will have a separate high quality stand alone mic, but if you don’t and actually just prefer the all in one (nothing against this) then this does a fantastic job as picking up sound. Voice capture was impressive for something that wasn’t 10cms in front of my face, so i was impressed here. You won’t be getting studio quality but it’s very good nonetheless.
A great webcam and I would say it holds up to its price tag very well. This is a camera that will last you a long time before you’d ever need to consider upgrading it.
Bonjour
agrablement surpris par cette webcam, la qualit est vraiment bonne.
Lumire led tout autour 2K en rsolution.
Surface aimant puissante, avec trpied tlscopique de belle qualit.
Image trs nette et pour information je conseil de tlcharger un logiciel d’activation de webcam gratuit. Car impossible de la faire fonctionn sur le site du fabriquant je trouve le logiciel trop complexe.
multisupport bon son aucun soucis sinon.
This arrives in smart box and the build quality does feel and look much better than cheaper camera’s we own.I ordered this for my daughter and she uses with gaming videos and streaming.The camera can be attached to PC by magnet and holds securely or can be freestanding on tripod.I thought this was very expensive compared to previous camera and despite superior build quality wondered if worth it? Well according to my daughter it is, she says the picture quality is great.Simple to use just plug and play.I don’t really get technology or streaming but my daughter is delighted and recommends
This is an okay webcam. It attaches to the mount magnetically, which is different. Unfortunately, the auto-focus and auto-exposure was a problem for me. I looked totally washed out but the area behind me looked fine.
After multiple emails with customer service (they were responsive, it just took time for them to figure out the problem and provide a solution), I was finally able to download an app that let me adjust the exposure manually.
Another issue is that when I plugged this into my USB hub, it wouldn’t work. It would only work plugged directly into my computer.
The privacy shutter is interesting–it snaps on magnetically and takes some twisting to get off. Could be designed better.
I’d like to give this 3.5 stars, but I’m rounding up to 4 for now and may revise my rating after I’ve used this for a while.
La webcam ne prend pas beaucoup de place, elle dispose d’une lumire intgre pour clairer le visage et viter le bruit dans des conditions un peu trop sombres.
L’ajustement automatique fonctionne bien, tout comme l’autofocus qui se fait rapidement.
Le rendu des couleurs est quilibr.
J’apprcie sa fixation magntique sur le support, par contre, il n’y a de rotation sur plusieurs axes.
Un obturateur (plaque noire) est fourni pour la confidentialit, j’aurai prfr un mcanisme manuel coulissant l’intrieur qui cache le capteur vido.
C’est une bonne camra mais mon sens, peut tre positionne un peu haut ct tarif par rapport aux grandes marques.
I will admit that these types of products ARE NOT an area of speciality of mine; however, I have to use lots of cameras for content development. I have tried much cheaper webcams and received confirmation of the statement – you get what you pay for. This camera is not cheap, but I will say this: it far exceeded my expectations.
Sannce is better known for its security cameras, so they do have experience in the camera technology world. As far as I know, this is one of their earlier forays into the webcam market; and I have been quite pleased with this little device. It is packaged with care – like Ft. Knox trying to get everything out of that little box. I have great appreciation for this packaging though because you put everything right back in its spot for easy care.
As my subject line says, they have a perfect process for use. I’ve had other webcams where you have to install software and set up the camera and then change settings and, well, you get the picture. For this one, you plug it in and the computer recognizes it instantly. The ring light works simply with a touch to increase or decrease its output.
The accessories are just what you need. The small tripod helps you set it up in the location you want for use. For me, I have a little spot on my desk that elevates it just over nose-level for my meetings and this tripod elevates the camera over the laptop screen. That magnet! It’s a strong little one and will hold that camera in place without question. I have a small box light that says it has a strong magnet but it never holds as it should. No worries with this camera.
I primarily use this camera for meetings in Zoom and for video recordings as I do content creation. It provides crystal clear clarity that you need for HQ editing. That ring light should not be your “go to” resolution for light issues; yet, it does add just a nice touch to help in the video process.
Expensive? Yep. Do you get what you pay for? Yep!
As the reviewers prior to my review have already stated, this web cam has good focus, a clear picture, good sound quality, and easy set up.
Yes, the metal bar to cover the lens is a poor design, so I don’t bother with it.
My huge issue with this web camera is the lighting.
One side of the camera is devoted to allowing the light to be manually adjusted…great…but it takes up one entire side of magnetic space leaving an entire rotational area unusable.
I am a professional tarot reader and have been offering virtual sessions to clients. It is difficult to explain what I see in a spread without visuals so I decided to use two cameras during my Zoom sessions. What I found was the direction I needed the camera to face was not magnetized due to the silly light feature that automatically dims and brightens. I had to hang this web camera from its HD wire over my table to get the view I needed.
Also, the metal piece the camera attaches to should be made to extend further away from the monitor. This is a fine web cam for using it as a face camera, but as a multi-directional camera it is lacking.
The quality of the design and manufacture is beyond average. The quality of the video is also quite impressive. The camera has a wide-angle which can include more space in one view.
The magnet mount is a plus and it makes it quite easy to place on top of the monitor or use the tripod provided. The brightness of the LED can be adjusted through touching, very convenient. Also, it comes with a privacy shutter to prevent hacking physically.
Overall, the price is a bit expensive but the design, quality, and some unique accessaries still make it worth buying.
Actually, I got this for my cousin who streams his gaming live for this birthday.
I first opened it to see what’s inside though as I was curious.
This is quite a compact size webcam compared to logitech C922 which I am quite satisfied with.
First, I really liked its magnetic function. It’s strong and makes it so convenient! I wanted to keep it to myself just for that to be honest.
Second (this is from my cousin’s review), he says it’s speedy auto-focus function is quite useful when he takes it off from the monitor and moves it around to show some other things on his stream.
Thirdly, he doesn’t like bright light when streaming his game live, which can be an issue with certain webcam, but its low light correction was good enough that he was quite impressed.
When I tested it for myself, it worked perfectly fine with Windows 10, and my cousin uses it with his macbook pro.
To be honest, I have only used logitech before, so I am not in a good position to compare this to many other brands.
But based on my test and my cousin’s experience, I think this one is worth the price. Not sure this one goes on sale for cyber monday (there is 5% coupon offered at the moment of this review), but if does and you are looking for quality webcam, try this one out which comes with free return guaranteed by Amazon.
J’ai pris cette webcam pour mon PC quand je dois faire des lives ou des runions. La qualit de l’image est trs bonne. L’autofocus se gre tout seul. La qualit du son est correcte aussi. J’enlve une toile pour le prix un peu trop lev pour une webcam. Sinon, je recommande!!
I am not using this camera as a PC/Mac webcam. Instead I am using this as a 3D printer workstation camera. Your mileage may vary based on your usage.
Build quality: Wow, the build of the camera and magnetic stand are superb. The camera feels really well made in the hand and has a strong magnets on the top and bottom of the camera. I love that I can just quickly grab the camera to get a different shot or to move and diagnose a problem. The light ring has 8 adjustments from low to high and is controlled my capacitive buttons on the top of the light. Again, this is a really well built camera.
Picture quality: Better than most 2k webcams even the more mainstream ones. The auto focus is better than average, but not as quick as what you would get on the newest iPhone or Galaxy. It is still nice though and does not degrade picture quality with artifacting. Quality is definitely on the higher end side of of webcams in the $100 -$200 range.
I love everything about this camera with nothing to complain about. I have finally found the camera that will remain at my printing workstation after trying 5 different kinds.
I have been using this webcam for my university Microsoft team meetings and what a difference it has made in comparison to my laptops built in webcam. I have a high end laptop so I was shocked to see such a huge jump in visual resolution and quality. The webcam has a built in flash function which illuminates your face and surroundings gently. This ensures that you are clearly visible, even in the darkest of environments.
For instance, I live in a low light bedroom and found that the light function allowed me to clearly be visible in team calls, even in winter past 5pm when it gets really dark outside. This light brightness can be adjusted with ease via touch on the top of the webcam too!! 🙂
The webcam quality far surpasses my expectations, and best of all? it is very compact in design. A lot of these 2k high resolution webcams come in a bulky and large design which adds strain to the laptop hinges. This was not the case with this webcam. It is lightweight and small in regards to height/width. It fits snuggly onto my laptop as it would with any other. Very happy with the quality, as well as sound quality which seems up to par. The autofocus feature is very useful and ensures that the video call quality is never jeopardised with blurring, despite moving around or being expressive with hand gestures.
I would recommend this for those that attend a lot of interviews or business calls, though may be a little excessive for the average user such as myself. Regardless, a 5 star product nevertheless.
Thank you for reading my honest review, I hope you found it helpful! 🙂

Le gros avantage de cette webcam est sa lumire intgre. Cela permet de se passer de ring light et d’avoir une bonne image mme quand la lumire est faible tout en gardant un encombrement limit. La qualit gnrale est bonne mme si l’ergonomie est moyenne.
Cette camra trs lourde, car elle contient de puissants aimants. Ils permettent de fixer la camra sur sa base spciale moniteur/ordinateur portable. Le kit contient galement un trpied pour poser la camra sur un bureau.
Le cache de confidentialit se fixe galement par magntisme.
Le cble (USB-C) est amovible. Celui fourni est particulirement long.
La camra intgre un clairage apte dboucher les ombres. Pour une fois le systme d’clairage est trs efficace.
Niveau microphone, on a galement une bonne prise de son sans trop de bruit. Faute de beamforming, c’est le son de toute la pice qui est captur et non uniquement la voix de l’intervenant. Le casque ou le speakerphone reste un complment indispensable.
La prise d’image est galement excellente avec un capteur QHD. Les couleurs sont justes et la gestion de la luminosit est bonne.
J’ai branch cette Webcam sur mon Pc qui a un Windows 10 Pro , aucun problme de reconnaissance et elle s’installe toute seule .
La qualit de l’appareil est bonne et sa rsolution est trs correcte , je m’en sers sur Skype et c’est nickel . Pour le moment j’ai du mal l’utiliser en ligne avec ses 2K car ma connexion ne le permet pas . Dans moins d’un an , je pense avoir la Fibre et l je pourrais vraiment utiliser la rsolution de cette Webcam .
J’aime bien la petite Led qui entourne , quand on est en luminosit faible elle apporte un point lumineux bien trouv .
Je suis satisfait de ce produit .

The images provided by this webcam are very good. Crisp and clear (for a webcam!) with a responsive auto-focus. The plug-and-play functionality was seamless… the laptop recognized it quickly and it was up in running in a couple of minutes.
It’s a little awkward to attach to the top of my monitor, and if it was in a more high-traffic part of the desk it would probably get knocked off of there frequently. But it holds in place okay, once the folding contraption on the back of it is lined up properly. It’s nice that the camera can tilt downwards, but believe it or not I would have appreciated if it could also tilt upwards by, say 20 degrees. In meetings I prefer to just show my head and neck, but even with the camera mounted up at what amounts to scalp-level, it’s still catching half of my shirt/upper torso. Seems like a dumb thing, but when you’ve been in enough zoom meetings you start to have your preferences. Beyond that, if you have a narrow bezel on your monitor, the front edge of this camera will cover a little piece of your screen.
The privacy attachment is a strange idea… rather than a permanently-attached folding lens cover, you get this large L-shaped magnetic shield that’s a little awkward. More than one review here suggested you have to take it off to use the camera, and then keep track of it. However, you can instead just carefully slide the attachment up above the lens. There’s a point at which it’s no longer covering the lens, but the magnet is still holding it firm to the camera. So, it’s awkward, but not terrible.
Built-in mic seems to be fine, in the meetings I’ve had so far I’ve gotten no negative feedback about audio quality. You’re never going to get top-quality audio from something like this, and I would always recommend that if you’re trying to produce a good-quality v-log or podcast or youtube channel, you’ll need separate components. Maybe a lavalier mic or a desktop condenser mic, separate camera, etc.
Also, this camera is surrounded by a light that will turn on when you plug in, but which senses the light level on the subject and adjusts itself (or turns itself off) accordingly. I haven’t yet had the need to turn it off when it was on, so I’m not entirely sure how manual override of the light works.
It’s leaps and bounds beyond the basic webcam, and may be what you’re looking for!
Trs beau produit : image de qualit et clairage avec commande tactile

This 2K 4MP Super HD Webcam come professionally packaged into a smart smart box with outer sleeve.
Upon opening and handling the webcam, it oozes of luxurious build and durable materials and quality of workmanship. The cam is so well made of top quality plastics and metals which feel very nice to touch. The webcam is so simplistic and easy to use. The top has a touch sensitive brighter or dimmer surface controls and the rear bottom end has a USB-C slot. You get a USB-C cable included.
The monitor webcam mount is also a clean and simple magnetic type which snaps onto the webcam firm and so easy to move the webcam up and down. To plug into my laptop the webcam pulses to show its connected and easy to use in apps with my webcam which is sharp and auto focuses very well. The angle of view is great and the colours are very sharp and realistic.
I am very impressed with this product and ease of use yet so premium build and finish.
The front ring helps to illuminates and the lens inches webcam is multi coated and good quality.
This product represents excellent value for the luxurious webcam that does not disappoint at all.
C’est une webcam pour ordinateur portable plutt qualitative.
Elle offre un rglage automatique de l’clairage, de la couleur et de la luminosit et son montage est trs simple.
Elle se fixe magntiquement au support de moniteur et tient fermement en place et on trouve au dos une prise USB C permettant le branchement du cble fourni.
Une fois qu’elle est dtecte par les diffrents programmes, elle fonctionne parfaitement bien et on apprcie ensuite autant la qualit de l’image que de la mise au point et du contraste.
Son microphone est performant avec un son clair et sans parasitages.
Au regard de sa fiabilit, de sa rsolution leve, de sa mise au point automatique, prcise et rapide et de sa facilit d’utilisation, son prix me semble raisonnable et justifi
I’ve only started using a webcam since the introduction of lockdown so I’m not an expert but I was interested in trying the Sannce Webcam to discover whether it would improve my experience of talking with family and friends. It has excellent picture quality and the sound is clear and a great improvement on my current webcam. It has a strong magnet that securely attaches it to my computer and I can alter the direction of the picture by adjusting the hinges. It’s a well-made piece of equipment that’s easy to set up and comes with all the accessories needed including a tripod for giving a different view. It’s more expensive than I’d normally pay but it’s a well-built superior quality product that’s eminently suitable for those who take part in a lot of online meetings.
The Sannce Super HD webcam is a small, very neat box that sits either on a tripod or a clip over the top of a monitor, both provided in the box. It also has a “privacy shutter” which is a simple metal cover that clips over the camera, held in place by its magnetic properties. It’s a multi-purpose unit as it’s a webcam with built in microphones and also a built-in light around the edge.
In terms of functionality, the webcam delivers most of the promised performance: 1440 p at 30 fps or 1080 at 60 fps – both 16:9 ratio and 3.7 MPs (not quite 4 MPs). Picture quality is good and stable in normal use. Sound is good too. I have noticed that changing settings in Windows 10 often results in the camera cutting out requiring the USB connection to be removed and replaced so the PC recognises it again, but it seems stable when used in normal video calls.
Pros:
– it works out of the box and was recognised by my Windows 10 PC with no messing about
– it’s small, so not obtrusive when sat over a monitor
– picture quality and sound are good
Cons:
– changing settings often results in the unit needing a reboot
– auto-focus can fail if you change lighting conditions and a manual adjust (in the Windows Camera settings) may be needed
– it’s priced at a significant premium (currently 135 at time of review), at a level with other units that are designed for videoconferencing rooms rather than a one person office
Overall: this webcam delivers an excellent audio and video performance. If the main use is live online events, rather than recording things for later playback, then the performance will be limited by the internet connection speed and so a cheaper camera would probably do just as good a job (there are many choices at the 70 mark). The pricing level at time of review makes me question who this is targeted at – someone doing normal video calls doesn’t need this much performance but professional users will want different functionality.
I’m impressed with this webcam which has a few nice features.
First and most important, the image is sharp and detailed, more so than my previous webcam even with both set to 1080p/60Hz. For example, with the Sannce I can read the titles of the books on the shelf behind me, whereas with the other one I cannot.
Second, there is a built-in LED light which does improve the quality if the conditions are poor, though it is a bit of a glare for the user. This is adjustable via touch-sensitive buttons on top of the camera, so easily turned off if necessary.
Third, the camera feels solid and comes with a nice long 2M USB cable. USB C at the camera end, USB A at the PC end. I would slightly prefer USC C to USB C but no matter.
Fourth, there is quite a decent mini tripod supplied, with telescopic feet, that makes it easy to mount the camera on a desk rather than being limited to sticking it on top of a display. That gives a bit more flexibility in terms of positioning. The telescopic feet are only held at the desired length by friction and I fear may work loose after a while, but the ball mount has a screw clamp and the tripod mount screw is standard so alternatives are possible.
The webcam itself is secured to the mount by a strong magnet, which works fine. There is a privacy cover which simply clips on from the side, again magnetic, and I am not so happy with that; it seems a bit crude and that it might scratch the camera though no problems so far.
The camera is well above average for video conferencing, but I did encounter a snag. After switching back and forth between cameras on Windows 11, I did manage to make the Sannce stop working, fixed by disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable, but perhaps indicating some instability.
With luck this will not happen in normal use, and so far very happy with the device.
What a cool webcam. It’s a well though out unit, and with magnets on the bottom and sides, there’s a fair amount of versatility here.
The mount that comes with the camera is of course magnetic too. Holding the camera within about an inch or so of the mount, you’ll start to notice a rather strong pull towards the base of the mount. It’s not falling off on it’s own any time soon! The base has 3 separate hinges. The top hinge will allow the camera to tilt forwards and back, it’s nice and stiff, but not too stiff since the magnet of the camera is still able to remain attached when repositioning. The back hinge is what allows the base to accommodate different display types. You can mount this thing on the top edge of a tablet, or on a CRT from 20 years ago if you wanted. The last hinge is a small rubberized part that changes angle to ensure the rubber part gets optimal contact with whatever you’re mounting to. It’s a well thought out little guy.
The camera it self is solid feeling. It’s also got magnets on the side which allow you to mount the included privacy guard, as seen on my pictures. I’ve noticed as well that you can get the camera to stick onto the side of things. It sticks to the side of my monitor without the mount, but won’t remain in place due to the slick surface. I haven’t tried, but I think if I got some thin rubber strips and stuck them onto my screen, the magnet would probably hold the camera against it. The camera quality is fantastic. There’s just too many 720p and 1080p cameras out there in 2021. Too many for 2020 and 2019 if you ask me. It’s good to finally see more of a push into higher resolution products. When conferencing, people immediately noticed how sharp my video feed was. Some will say “streams are all capped at lower resolutions, so what’s the point”, and while that’s often the case, you’re video footage will still look far superior coming off a higher resolution source, and then being scaled down by your application. It’s a variable focus webcam too, so you’re going to get nice sharp close ups, as well as sharper far away shots too. It’s quite quick to focus too, even in poor light. Although I should highlight that the advertised focus speed is something you’ll need to be in decent indoor light in order to hit.
The microphones are reasonable. It’s a clear sound, and there would seem to be noise cancelling in play here. It’s difficult to test how much of that’s being done by the camera, or if the applications I’m using (like Teams) are doing some noise cancelling there, but I’ve no complaints about how it sounds. It seems to be Mono sound capture coming from the camera though. While it has two mics, I wasn’t able to get it to record anything in stereo, so it’s likely used for cancellation of noise.
There’s a light right built round the cameras face, and it works quite well. I don’t think it’s something that would be needed in most situations though. The camera sees quite well, even in poorer light, and I think the light should only need to be activated when the light is so low that auto focus is impacted. I haven’t been in a situation where I’ve needed it, but it’s nice to have. I think having the option to change the temperature of the light would have been nice.
The included cable is USB-C, and it’s a generous length. I’ve ran it from under my desk, up through the mechanical arm of my monitor, onto the top of the screen, and there’s still some cable rolled up in a cable tie.
It’s a cool design and I really like it over all. If you’re in the market for a webcam, something higher resolution, and that can offer fairly accurate and quick auto focus, this cam will do the job.
This is my second camera and I am much more satisfied with this one.
It has two major advantages over the first one. Firstly, it has an amazing fitting mechanism, a combination of magnets and rotational fittings that allow you to attach this camera to your monitor, or anywhere else in a very sturdy fashion. Secondly, the privacy cover makes the camera hidden alongside the edge of my screen and thanks to that I don’t get distracted and can keep my camera there. That was not the case with the old camera that I had to store away because I just keep glancing at it while gaming.
The camera also have two buttons to adjust the brightness of light or to turn it off completely which is a huge plus. The ‘torch’ is the whole white border of the camera. The microphone worked fine and was instantly recognised by all of the software on my computer (windows, discord, skype etc.).
Tripod is sturdy and offers nice alternative for conferences with a tablet or possible streaming adventures. Overall, great product.
This 2K 4MP super HD webcam is awsome and works as it should, with no any errors. I have to say that this is very expensive product (135.90) at the moment, but for such quality it is definitely worth spending the money.
Has auto focus and privacy shutter, you can connect in pro level video calls. It is designed for professional quality video at smooth 30 fps (2K 4MP), or 60 fps (1080p) with auto lighting, color and brightness adjustment. With 90 ultra wide angle you will see the best you and look professional on video without distortion.
Built in omnidirectional mic+noise cancelling with whom your online coversation will always sound clear.
Very easy to use, you just have to plug in this webcam to the USB port of your PC or laptop, and that’s it you can start using.This camera adjusts the focal length automatically without manual adjustment, enabling you to get anything in focus within just 0.7 second. 2 cm macro imaging enables your audience to see the object close to the lens clearly. This is awsome.
Really like this webcam.
Highly recommend to anyone who will need one.
The quality of webcams within many laptops, or as an add on unit for a desktop, is remarkably poor. I’ve tried several and most are not worth spending the money. The best seller Logitec unit available for around 60-70 is a great upgrade over the so-so units, as is this one.
The main downer with this SANNCE unit is price. I mean, it’s advertised as 2K so should be great, but it’s only ‘very good’, not exceptional. And it’s 135! So when compared to the best out there, it’s around twice the price of the Logitec, but not quite as good IMO. You should think hard about this.
Good points include … it’s plug and play pretty much with only minor adjustment needed. It’s also USB C connected on the back of the camera, which is a bonus. Build is very good. It all fits together OK. The stand for the monitor to unit holds well once you sort the exact positioning. There’s an easy adjust built in lamp which adds some value but it doesn’t really compensate for strong back-lighting, like through a window. It’s worth having tho as a feature as it makes a clear difference if you shut the curtains behind you and it’s not battling with the sun. There’s a finger slide touch adjustment on the top of the unit to change the lamp power. Easy adjust. You also get a small tripod if you prefer that approach to mounting on a monitor, but you then get a great shot up your nose! You can sort so it’s OK easy enough. For me tho, it’s a waste of time.
The SANNCE is better built and looks super-pro compared to much of the competition. It gets a 4**** from me. I’m perfectly happy with its overall performance, way better than most, it’s just that the competition casts a long shadow.
While 136.99 (At time of review) is a lot of money this webcam is better than any other I have previously used. The magnet attachment is strong and it won’t budge of fall off easily. The camera can easily be removed and added to the provided tripod for a different angle, The mount stays easily on both my monitors but as you can see from the picture it does cover some of the screen on my HP one.
The image quality is great and the auto focus will work quickly when you move around the screen which is great for meetings. There is a touch control light on the top with different levels of brightness which can make a big difference and a perfect addition to those making videos (maybe not so for meetings). You get a wide clear picture too so be careful what you have in the background during those work meetings.
You do get what you pay for and this is a well build web cam from Sannce a company I had not heard from until today. It is much nicer and clearer than my 25 web cam but is it 5 times as good? well that’s a tough question and depends on what you use it for. If it’s just business meetings than I would say not and a cheaper camera can get a clear picture of you which is all you need. If you Vlog or make videos than I would say the price hike is what you would expect and you will be paying that for the quality you gain from this web cam. I look at it like I look at a GoPro, you can get much cheaper ones out there but they aren’t as well performing and the build quality is easy to spot.
The mic seems great too although I never tend to use webcam ones anyway but it’s nice to know it’s there. If there is one thing I didn’t like it’s the removable metal privacy bracket, it’s ugly and although the magnetic attachment is nice you still have to put it aside when not in use, I rather have something attached.
Would I buy it myself?
Probably not, I use it for meetings mostly and the odd friend chat but I do love the quality it provides.
Would I recommend?
Only to those doing more than I would. The build quality is evident and anyone using it to vblog will be looking for that quality picture and mic over the cheaper cameras.
First thing to say is no, this is not a cheap Webcam, second thing to say is it beautifully made, presented and works very well indeed.
The box contains the camera itself, mounts, privacy cover, tripod, cable and clear instructions.
Mounting the camera could not be simpler. It attaches to the monitor mount with magnets which are strong and hold it firmly in position. Plenty of adjustability too for different monitors.
On the rear is a USB C socket into which you plug the supplied cable, the other end into a USB port on your PC.
I had lots of issues initially as the camera light lit up as per the instructions, and appeared in my Devices, but both the Windows 10 camera app and Zoom, were not happy and could not locate a camera, or complained it was being used by another app. I tried various things and eventually discovered that this camera will not work on my PC if it is plugged into a USB 3.0 port. Plugging into a USB 2 port sorted the issue. Not sure why this is, but it is a little inconvenient as USB 3 ports are most accessible on my setup.
Once it was detected by the various programs though it worked great.
I have used many cheaper webcams in the 20 -30 price bracket and they all have quite major flaws with image quality, focus and contrast, this camera suffered from none of that. The picture was clear.
This camera also includes a light ring around the lens to help illuminate your face. It is simply operated by two touch sensitive buttons on top. There are quite a few brightness steps and the light given off is bright enough to actually work, unlike others I have tried. be aware though if you wear glasses you will almost certainly get reflections in them.
Another feature of this camera is the microphone. Again this has been a failure with other cameras I have tried. Either they don’t work at all or the quality is so low as to be unusable. The SANNCE microphone is the polar opposite. It worked first time, is very clear, and is capable of picking up my voice without me having to shout.
The only downside for me (apart from the USB 3 issue) is the privacy cover for the lens. It feels like a bit of an after thought, albeit a very well made one. It is simply an angled piece of plastic which again using magnets fits over the lens. To uncover it takes both hands as the magnet is so strong you have to hold the camera still whilst removing it. Then there is the issue that whilst it is off you stand a good chance (if your desk is as untidy as mine) of losing it. As I say it feels like a bit of an afterthought, but is again made very well and fits like a glove.
So this is a very good webcam built to a very high standard. Every part of it screams quality, even the bundled tripod which can be poor at best with some cameras.
I will not be using anything else from now on. My search for a good webcam is apparently over.
A webcam, not as impressive looking as the pricepoint suggests: It attaches to the mount via a magnet, a gimmick that I don’t quite grasp the point of.
If you’re into hi-fi, you will know that a 100 quid pair of speakers is usually 10 times better than a 10 quid pair of speakers, but a 1000 quid pair of speakers is not 10 times better than a 100 quid pair. At some point the improvements are so marginal that they are subjective.
This theory is even more appropriate when applied to computer peripherals. Your webcam/microphone might be ten times better than the one installed on your laptop, but as it’s then entering your laptop and then being sent through the internet, it’s quality isn’t a big deal in terms of the overall process.
So is this cam, at 136.99 comfortably the most expensive I’ve ever seen, more than 13 times better than a ten quid one? No. It is much better, but it’s not 13 times better.
Most high end cams top out at around 70, so a better argument would be if this is twice as good as one at that price point. And the answer to that is, who knows? Those cams are already as good as the tech supporting them allows, so how could one tell if this is any better?
Very difficult to justify spending this amount of money, then, whether judging on looks or performance.
The images provided by the seller is accurate, so please refer to those where necessary.
IN SHORT (full review below)
This is a great camera that’s well made, comes with lots of accessories and has high picture quality. I would reccomend this for people who would need this profesionally, such as streamers or YouTubers. It is beyond what is ever neccessary for general use on video calls to friends or for work calls.

FULL REVIEW
The Sannce 2K webcam is a high quality product that is great for thoe who would need high quality recordings, such as streamers or YouTubers. The webcam comes in high quality packaging that keeps the device safe, and is supplied with the detachable USB C to USB A cable (note USB C compatability if you use your own USB C to USB C cable), a magnetic privacy shutter that easily fits on the device, a magnetic base that allows the device to sit atop your monitor, a tripod that is satisfactory but isnt to the safe high quality as the webcam, and finally the user manual.
Plugging the device in you notice the ring light present on the device, which can be adjusted using brightness controlls at the top. The magnetisation of the privacy shutter and the webcam to the base is very strong, which can be a bit of a pain when trying to remove the shutter as you naturally end up shifting the camera to remove it and then have to realign the camera to your needs. The magnetic base can be easily attached to a monitor screen, however due to the size and weight of the boxy camera i opted for use of the included tripod instead (a tripod thread is present on the magnetic webcam base). The tripod is rather cheap, similar in quality to one you could pick up in a bargain store for a few pound, but it serves the purpose.
Onto device quality, and for this i’m using the camera app on Windows. The first thing you notice is the large field of view, which makes me feel this would be great for having multiple people on the webcam feed at once. Autofocus is quick and accurate on what i’ve tried it on, and the colours are much more vibrant than any other webcam i’ve used (noting the most expensive camera i had before this was in the region of 50). The camera will take 3.7 MP stills (2560 x 1440), shoot in 1440p at 30 fps and at 1080p 60fps (1080p doesnt have same wide FOV). Microphone quality is crisp and clear, but if you are buying this camera you are likely a streamer/YouTuber – an external microphone is definitely needed in this case.
Due to the price point this webcam will appeal to those who will rely on such a device for more than a zoom or skype call to friends / family – this is for people who would use this as a key part of their profession such as those i’ve mentioned before within Youtube or streaming platforms. It’s well made and something i would highly reccommend.
The camera by Sannce is in a different league to other cameras that I have previously reviewed.
From the presentation of the packaging( well
Secured) packaged to protect it.
To the option of using it either on a tripod or it magnetically connects to the base that sits over your monitor screen.
My son is the one who is upto speed on the latest gadgets and likes to trial different webcams and set ups and he has had no complaint about this camera so far.
He has a gaming pc of very good specifications and the internet we have varies in speed different times of the day.
He had mainly wanted a camera to chat to friends and record himself as he is interested in becoming a vlogger ( whatever that is ha ) but apparently the camera image is of top quality, there is no noticeable delay whilst using the camera and the quality is better than he had been used to.
I have reviewed cheaper webcams and it is true what they say, you get what you pay for and at 135.99 at the time of this review it is good value for money, well done Sannce.
My son often chats with his cousins on Facebook, so he always uses webcam.
Its quality is good. The top touch screen controls the light. Its brightness and camera clarity are very good. The high-definition picture quality restores the real scene, professional lens design, and the image has no distortion. Microphone radio, magnet holder.
The support ability of the tripod is very poor, and the rotating button at the back does not lock the round rotating ball at all. You can choose a magnet bracket, the camera and the self-contained bracket adopt a magnetic-attractive fit, and the shooting angle can be flipped.
But its price is too expensive, its voice and shooting effects are indeed very good, high-sensitivity touch design of the dimming button, but considering the performance of the product from the price, it is not very cost-effective.
The build quality and mounting of this is superb. It oozes quality. It is difficult to test picture quality as it depends on your software, overall setup and internet connection. I never get a very good picture on video calls because my connection speed is too low (6-8KB/sec on a good day). To bypass this I tested the picture on VLC. It was very disappointing and had a delay of more than a second. Another test showed this was VLC’s problem, not the cam. Testing using OBS I got a good picture, with a delay of 0.2 seconds. It wasn’t 2k quality but again I think the limitation was in the setup. Given the number of webcams I have tried in the 50 range which are quite mediocre, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this piece of kit at the current price of 135. Normally I like to make a review comprehensive enough that you can rely on it alone but in this case, because setups vary, I would recommend reading a range of reviews before making a decision.
