Arducam 8MP 1080P Auto Focus USB Camera Module with Microphone, 1/3.2” CMOS IMX179 UVC USB2.0 Webcam Lightburn Camera for Windows, Linux, Android and Mac OS

Autofocus, microphone, good video and picture quality. I use this on a multi-monitor, KVM setup. It swaps fine with a KVM. The base is square, and can have screws or tacks driven through several holes in the base. It's just the right thickness that I can hang it over the edge of the top of my center screen. The camera pivots, so it is easy to align. The mictophone picks up keyboard sounds pretty heavily, so if you type during meetings, you'll need to remember t mute. I find that on KVM swap, this always takes precedence, so every entry into WebEx requires changing to my headset microphone. Minor annoyance. For the price, function, and form, this is an awesome camera. It was available when I needed it, which was also good. No drivers. Plug and play.

I am a tech kinda guy so I knew what I was getting when I bought this one. I was sick of the high priced garbage being sold as HD webcams from major players. Over the last 4 years I tried 3 different models from what I thought would be the "logical" place to get a good camera but was PO'd at all of them. I sent the expensive "best" one back within 24 hours. I drilled down hard on the specs that would make me smile and went shopping. I found this one. Oh yeah. It works. I built my own plastic case and lens cap for it and Velcro'd it to the top of my desktop monitor. Cleanest video I have ever seen in a "webcam". The mic is good too. If you find this one with the exact same specs, buy it. BTW.....I may have gotten the last one as I went back the next day to get another one but it was marked as "Out of Stock". Hope not...it really works well....really!

I use this camera as a webcam. Others always comment at how clear my video is now. The autofocus lens works much better than I thought it would. Windows 10 did not need additional drivers.

Bought this to add to my laser engraver. It installed nicely with the built in bracket. The video quality was excellent and had no lag. One of the least expensive camera I could find and a good one at that. Now, that being said. I did return this camera. But only because it didn’t work in my situation. It’s a narrow lens and I had to mount it about 11 inches above my laser which wasn’t enough room.If you have room to raise the camera either in a laser enclosure or just above the laser without an enclosure, it’ll work fantastic for you.

I am not quite sure what the developer had as an intended camera application. If you read the description they have several uses listed. I was going to write a long review but decided against that. What I will say is the camera works, but it is severely limited in scope. Autofocus - No ... not really. The resolution is such that it cannot be used effectively as a security cam unless it is used to check a printer as described on the Amazon website. 1.5 minutes gave me 192 MB of disk space ... with the compression that comes with the camera app.You are a lot better off finding a camera that fits your application. This is not worth the time or money.

Great camera for 3D printing. The auto focus works well, even on extreme close ups. Most of the USB cameras are not suitable for mounting inside a 3D printer enclosure, but this one is great. Small in size, fits almost anywhere. The short focal length flexibility of this camera is awesome. Will buy another.

This is a nice camera but lens mount of M6.5 is not popular at all so it provides limited options.

I recently purchased a hobby diode laser and I use the camera to align the item I'm burning with the artwork. I plugged it in and the software I use (Lightburn) easily recognized the camera and after a short alignment setup I was off to the races.If I buy a second laser the first item I'm going to get is another one of these cameras.
