Nothing Special, Don’t Spend the Extra $$
I own a lot of webcams. If you are looking for a high end webcam with high resolution this isn’t it. Very, very little difference between this and any other $80 web cam – including the audio. The ring light is so faint it is useless, unless you happen to be in a dark room with no lighting. The lens cap isn’t attached to the camera, so you have to put it somewhere on your desk, then find it again when you want privacy. Dumb engineering IMHO.I tried various resolutions with the Enspire app, the windows 11 camera app, and in zoom. Nothing to justify the high cost.The camera and mount is *big*, and I doubt it would work well on a laptop – especially if you tilt your screen off of vertical – which everyone does.I did not try the magnifier, which is a cheap plastic lens that clicks on the camera, as I have no need for that. If you do need this feature then maybe this camera would be a good one to buy.Max res is 3264×1836, which is apparently 3k, not 4k (who knew there was a 3k?) On screen, images did not appear crisp, certainly not better than any other webcam I use.If you use a standing desk and have to adjust the camera tilt when moving from sitting to standing, you have to unscrew the mount on the back of the stand in order to adjust it. Kinda of a pain.I could not get the remote to work (which you apparently need to install inspire to work) despite spending time with tech support. Being able to zoom and make adjustments while on a meeting I thought would be cool – but it did not work (even while using enspire). Even if you zoom using the Enspire app, when you go to any other program the camera goes back to normal zoom.I’m sending it back, to continue the quest for a high end web cam.

Great webcam option for virtual meeting
I have been looking for a better webcam to replace my laptop’s camera. When I saw the ideaCam by BenQ, it caught my attention and I know this is what I am expecting for. Connect through USB port so it is very easy to activate it. At my workstation home, I plug into my surface Dock 2 and it automatically detects it; no software installed needed. Compared to my built in cam, the camera quality is much improved. I look much brighter and clearer on the screen, and I won’t worry I look dark when having a Teams meeting with my colleagues. The autofocus function is how ideaCam distinguishes itself from other competitors. You won’t feel or see any image lag when you move yourself and quality stays the best.If you need to present your hand sketches while in a virtual meeting, this webcam allows you to maneuver easily to show the sketch on your desk. The autofocus function plays an important role here. You won’t need to worry the image is fuzzy when you move the webcam around. There is another function allowing you to focus closer. My guess is for the jewelry designer, who sometimes need to show the details normal eyes couldn’t see. They also provide you EnSpire for more advanced functions such as flip your image vertically or horizontally. You can even rotate your image without rotating the camera, which is amazing to me.If you rely on much interaction on the virtual meeting, this webcam is definitely designed for you. If you need a better quality of webcam to replace the lousy built-in webcam, this is also for you.

Endlich habe ich eine Kamera gefunden, die perfekt für die Demostration kleiner Gegenstände geeignet ist! Diese Live-Demo Webcam funktioniert sehr gut, wenn ich meine Werke auf dem Tisch zeigen möchte. Es ist einfach, Bilder zu fokussieren und aufzunehmen. Wenn die Nahaufnahmen nicht hell genug sind, verbessert das eingebaute Ringlicht die Situation. Die Software Enspire und die dazugehörige Fernbedienung sind sehr nützlich, um die Kamera optimal zu nutzen. Besonders beeindruckt ich von der Lupe von ideaCam, mit der selbst feinste Details wie Leiterplatten klar erkennbar sind. Ich bin ebenfalls mit der Farbgebung und Qualität der Bilder sehr zufrieden. Nicht ganz billig, doch die Qualität ist es wert.
