" ... Nice camera with good quality video and a shutter to close the camera lens when not in use. ... "
" ... This one has a 70 degree lens. ... "
" ... The default lens is wide enough an angle to be good for desktops and laptops alike. ... "
" ... The wide angle fixed focus lens seems to do a wonderful job. ... "
" ... Onto the camera itself: The lens has a smaller FOV of 70 vs 90 degrees which centers you more in the frame with less of your background showing (I prefer this), it works quite well in low light and is pretty clear. ... "
" ... I like the added security feature of included lens cover. ... "
" ... Picture is very clear and wide angle lens help capture a good amount of space, which is nice for presentations. ... "

" ... The plastic housing of the camera and the attachment to grab a surface to mount the camera is very sturdy. ... "
" ... It has a 1/4" tripod mount that's handy. ... "
" ... The actual part that swivels to grab onto the monitor is nice and sturdy with a grippy rubber that grabs onto the monitor tightly. ... "
