My kiddo uses this for Lego stop motions and the quality is fantastic for the price. Plug and play. You can zoom in on character faces to get a portrait. For photos its perfect, for video I would keep looking.

Great camera for live streaming

Got a request to review this item's microphone... It doesn't have one. I bought this to mount on an old 3D printer for the purpose of making time lapse videos. Focus, zoom, and light sensitivity needed adjustments almost immediately, but worked fine once locked in. Problem was the entire lens assembly became loose and I've not found a way to lock it in place since then. I can still use the camera, but over time the printers vibrations will cause the lens to loosen and I have to tighten it again. Video quality is great, No auto focus. Worked first try when plugged in. No mount, so had to make one. NO MICROPHONE so not sure why Amazon wanted a review about it. Lens need a lock. Good for the price, but not really professional quality design.

Pretty good for a fixed position camera. Focus,zoom and contrast features make for good versatility applications.

Solidly built, Windows plug and play USB camera, with a long sturdy cable. Works as advertised. MINOR issues that are very easy to deal with: 1. No instruction sheet provided. If you have used a Windows camera, you will be able to use this as it is Plug and Play with Windows. 2. There are two images in the product description that are not consistent with respect to the control rings. You will be able to figure this out. The inner ring on my camera, which they refer to as "clarity" is the focus ring. The middle ring is called "brightness" and this is what controls light sensitivity, hence lighter or darker, and the outer ring is the 5 - 50 zoom ring. I've uploaded the two description images so you can see how they differ in placement of control rings. This is NOT a problem as long as you know that your particular camera will look like one or the other image. 3. The lens control rings were extremely tight, so much so that when attempting to adjust any of the control rings, the force needed to change a setting began to unscrew the lens. The fix is simple: just work all three lens rings back and forth a few times until you feel the lens operate smoothly as the lubrication loosens up. This is not uncommon with screw mount lenses, all screw mount lenses going back in time have this issue.... its not a defect. Once you initially work the lens until control rings operate smoothly the lens operates as it should. Photos attached show exposure, the effect of depth of field and zoom. The images were very sharp at point of focus and the exposure ("brightness" ) had wide range.

Excellent picture quality. The adjustable zoom and focus make it easy to frame your subject. The manually adjustable exposure helps to limit glare.

The lens loosened up after using it for a day. There no way to tighten it. Still works but it is a pain.

This is my first experience with the ELP brand camera and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and functionality, especially considering the price. The lense is good, but you need to remember that its all manual adjustment focus. If you're setup to watch a fixed point, its perfect. The cord for the camera is long, which provides a lot of flexibility in how/where it gets mounted. Setup in Windows is pretty straight forward with nothing much to do. I did have a more of an issue with other platforms, but eventually got it settled. I am enjoying having this camera so far.
