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 desertcart - 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. Review: Hardware/Design are GREAT for the price point! - Functionality/Ease of Use: I can say that getting this webcam up and running was pretty seamless. I happen to use a Macbook Pro and after plugging in the webcam it was immediately found and able to be used. The quality of the video is pretty much on par with other top consumer brand webcams. In comparison, the Logitech 920 is of equal quality in video. The angle of the lens is large enough while only being about 2 ft from the camera itself. Can't ask for anything better there. The sound quality of the microphone is what I would consider expected. Not the quality of a dedicated microphone with noise cancellation or filters but definitely good enough to get the job done. The light indicator that shows the camera is active is REALLY a nice touch because it is obvious enough to get your attention and inform you that the camera is active. I really can't complain in any way. For the price, this is a great value buy with top of the line video quality. Design/Hardware/Practicality: I really love the design. Simple and sleek enough that the webcam doesn't overwhelm you when looking at your screen. Some webcams on the market are just too bulky and can be a distraction. The nice addon of the protection lid is a nice to have and having it be a part of the packaging and giving the user the option of installing with the provided sticker is a nice touch. I've seen other consumer brand webcams have a giant price inflation just to have the lid. That is absurd and I am glad Amcrest makes this feature/addon a simple part of the product with no price increase. Privacy should be a top concern, not a money maker. So kudos to Amcrest on that. Installation from a hardware standpoint is pretty easy. The design allows for either the install mount on top of a monitor or by use of the included tripod which was a pleasant surprise! I happen to like the use of the tripod on my desk as it gives me a better angle that I like for the video that I am in. The tripod works well although it would have been key to use a gorilla type of tripod mount instead of the wire bend type. I can't complain honestly as it works well. Just maybe a per user preference to use a more adjustable set tripod legs. But for the price, you absolutely cannot be this tripod inclusion. Overall: I love this webcam and honestly during this hard time during the pandemic when a majority of all webcams are out of stock, this particular webcam not only cam in handy but I am SO glad I was able to test this webcam out and put it to good use. I have used this webcam with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Cisco Webex, Slack, and more. I have already begun promoting this webcam to my colleagues as well as friends and family members. For the price, quality, ease of use, this is by far the best webcam I have used. Note: One really nice touch that maybe could be added in a future revision would be the inclusion of adding RTSP as an option. I could use this for when I am away and want to monitor the office by using this webcam. There is software to do this via the computer you are using but would be really nice to have this a part of the webcam natively. This may be a hardware limitation and would require an upgrade and price increase but if there was a version that supported this feature, I would upgrade. ## Features - Experience magnificent full-HD 1080P.

This is a great camera that you can easily switch between your devices (easy plug n' play). I am currently working from home like many people find themselves in, and the need to demonstrate something to my colleagues or students has become much easier because of the long length of this camera's USB cord (approximately 5ft 9 inches). I can move this camera to where I need to place it and actually set it on a stand and secure it to the bottom of the device like you would with a high end camera. I have found myself to actually prefer the quality of this camera than to the one that I have in my laptop. The camera takes pretty good quality pictures as you can see from the example of the Snowman Christmas Tree that I have provided. Additionally, the video quality is pretty good and can be seen in the example of the moving fan video. The video is shot at 1080p at 30fps using the included Windows 10 Camera application. When plugged in to your computer, the operating system does its thing and automatically detects the device as "HDA Webcam USB". Once ready to use, you can choose between any camera devices from your application settings from the apps that you use. In the case of the "Camera" application in Windows 10, it was a simple one button click to do this. When wanting to spend some down time from school or work, this camera works perfectly for your gaming and streaming needs. I have used this camera with OBS Studio for recording work related things and also to stream myself playing some Steam games on Twitch. It can also plug n' play to the Xbox One (as seen in my picture) and Xbox Series X. It works perfectly with the Twitch app on the Xbox consoles. Overall, I am happy with this product and Amcrest has done a great job with delivering a versatile product. The only complain that I have is that it came in a small tiny cardboard packaging box (see picture of Xbox Console) that was stuffed in an Amazon padded envelop. The box was slightly bent at the corners that could have easily broken the device during shipping. Luckily, I did not receive a damaged item but I feel that the packaging for the camera could be a little better. ## 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.tn/products/197691004-amcrest-1080p-webcam-with-microphone-and-privacy-cover-web-cam](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/197691004-amcrest-1080p-webcam-with-microphone-and-privacy-cover-web-cam) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-09*
