This webcam gives a pretty good picture, definitely one of the better ones that I’ve seen. I tried it in various lighting conditions and it did a good job overall. It works very well indeed in low light, with minimal image noise even in near darkness – it’s also able to pick out details in those sort of conditions too, unlike many other webcams. In very bright scenes the device does sometimes “blow out” the brightest areas but it’s not bad. The autofocus worked well in all lighting conditions, and the image was very crisp.
Sound is… reasonable enough, it’s usable certainly, but if you have a good mic already then I’d use that.
The webcam has various mounting options – there’s a small clip/angle stand built in, you can sit it on your desk with this, or attach it to the top of your monitor or laptop. On the underside of this stand there’s a standard camera screw mount, so you can attach it to a proper tripod or other type of stand with that mount. The webcam can also be rotated and tilted.
Also included the box are an instruction manual, USB-A to USB-C adapter, a rubber stick-on privacy cover for the webcam, and a small tripod, which you can attach to the webcam via the aforementioned screw mount. As this tripod uses the standard mount it will also hold a camera, but it’s not very heavy and tips over fairly easily, so I wouldn’t put any big cameras on it.
Overall, I’m quite impressed with the webcam, and it’s now replaced my old 1920×1080 one at the top of my monitor.
This Webcam has truly exceeded my expectations in terms of both performance and quality. From crisp, high-resolution video to clear, noise-cancelled audio, this webcam has elevated my video conferencing and streaming experiences to new heights.
The sensor ensures stunning clarity and detail in every frame, making me feel as though I’m right there in person during virtual meetings and online gatherings. The auto focus and auto light correction features further enhance the video quality, ensuring that I always look my best, regardless of the lighting conditions.
One of the standout features of this webcam is its dual noise-canceling microphones, which deliver crystal-clear audio without any background noise or distortion. Whether I’m participating in a business call or catching up with friends and family, I can always rely on this to deliver exceptional sound quality.
Additionally, the webcam is incredibly easy to set up and use, with seamless compatibility with popular video conferencing platforms like Skype, Zoom, and Facetime. Whether I’m using a PC or Macbook it performs flawlessly every time.
Overall, I couldn’t be happier with this product. It has truly transformed my video communication experiences, and I would highly recommend it to anyone in need of a high-quality webcam for work, school, or leisure.
This webcam has a good quality picture with great resolution. The auto-focus is acceptable – don’t expect macro shots, that’s not what this is designed for. Installation on Windows 11 was fine after a reboot.
Sound quality is slightly disappointing for dual microphone, but again acceptable. It does come with a little tripod which is a nice touch, although I had no need for it. There is also a usb-c to usb-a convertor.
Overall it’s a decent webcam if you can get it at a good price. It’s not going to absolutely blow you away but it’ll do the job.
At the time of this review it is -34% off (45.99) with a 10% voucher bringing it to around 41. At this price I think its reasonable, although at the original price I’d be looking at alternatives.

This camera is clear
More colourful than standard mac camera
With great sound quality
Litteral plug and play with MAC OS is also nice, just plug in usb and when using a video call app or service select camera from options.
I have added a video with low light to show how efficient it is.
This is the second Depstech Webcam I’ve owned. The quality of the image is fantastic and can be used as a camera around your desktop. The quality of the video for streaming is excellent too. What I didn’t realise with this particular one is that it came with a tripod as well as a range of other accessories including a handy USB to usb C converter.
The microphone is very good and I’ve used it for parents meeting as I’m a teacher and never had any issues with them.
At this price you’re basically getting a auto focus, 4K camera which also happens to be a brilliant webcam.
The cable is nice and long too which is something that I’ve found is an issue with other webcams in the past.
Highly recommended.
I ordered this because I have a sister who lives in New Zealand and I needed a new camera after my old one got too old and stopped functioning properly. This seemed like a good option and it is, I’m happy with it overall even if I do have a few gripes.
The pros: The webcam boasts some appealing upgrades over my old camera. The 4K resolution offers noticeably sharper details, the dual microphones pick up my voice clearly, and the autofocus (while not necessarily the fastest) works reliably and without issue. The included mini tripod, USB-C adapter, and lens cover are thoughtful additions, as is the webcam’s decent auto-exposure.
However, there are a few downsides. Installing the lens cover manually feels like an unnecessary step, and the built-in cable prevents me from choosing a more suitable length or from moving it around as much as I might want to. Most importantly, though marketed as 4K, the true image quality at maximum resolution is a bit noisy, likely due to the sensor size.
If you’re looking for a solid webcam to enhance your video calls, this delivers decent picture and sound quality. It’s great for conferencing or basic YouTube videos. However, don’t expect true 4K performance for product reviews or anything needing close-up focus. Most people probably won’t even care about that or even use it for close up stuff so it might be a moot point but it’s something to keep in mind if your purposes are moving beyond skype and teams etc.
Overall good and very happy with it. It’s suits my purposes well enough.
The camera is very, very good – sharp high resolution image and I’m not always thinking I need to turn the light on to make my Teams image a bit brighter. No problems at all with drivers even on Windows 7 machine. However, built in microphones are terrible – sound is very muffled and not really usable. Also I had foolishly assumed that since it boasted dual microphones it would be stereo: it isn’t. Finally paired it with a 13 pound condenser mic from a well known auction site to get an excellent tele-conferencing set-up.
