Clever Idea, Solid for Meetings, But You’re Paying Mostly for the Core Feature
I’ve been using this webcam for about two weeks across a lot of video calls, so I’ve had time to get a realistic sense of how it performs. Overall, I like it. It provides face-to-face call capability as advertised. But I wish the camera/image quality were better for the price point.

Setup and Installation
Installation on a Mac was straightforward. The camera connected instantly as advertised. However, if you want to adjust settings—things like brightness, color temperature, sharpness, focus, or field of view—you’ll need to download the free Eye Contact Control app from the manufacturer’s website. The app works, but it’s labeled public beta, which doesn’t inspire huge confidence. It also takes a second or two to detect the camera each time.

My unit came with a USB-C (the webcam) to USB-A cable (the monitor or computer) only, and there was no USB-C adapter included, despite some reviewers mentioning one.

Design and Mounting
The camera sits securely on top of a monitor and the clamp works well. When folded down for use, the lens tilts slightly away from the screen rather than perfectly straight. I compensated by lowering my standing desk a bit, but it’s something to be aware of.

The camera is fairly low-profile and unobtrusive on the monitor, which I like.

Image Quality
This is where expectations need to be managed. The video quality is good but not exceptional, especially given the price. Compared with my Logitech Brio, the image is softer and not as good at balancing bright and dark areas in the frame. You can improve this somewhat using the app.

Autofocus can also be a little slow, and quick movements sometimes cause a brief lag while it refocuses.

Audio
The camera includes dual microphones with noise reduction, but the sound quality is only average—slightly tinny and not noticeably better than my laptop’s mic. I prefer using my Shure microphone, which sounds much better.

Compatibility
I tested the camera with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and FaceTime, and it worked fine with all three.

The Eye Contact Feature
This is really the reason to buy this camera—and to its credit, it works well. When you position your meeting window properly on the screen, it creates the effect of true eye-to-eye contact, which does make conversations feel more natural if you position the conferencing app window so the boom is centered on your caller’s face. For frequent video meetings, that’s genuinely nice.

But make no mistake: this is the core value of this device. You’re paying a premium for that feature.

Other Notes
* My unit did not include a built-in lens cover, although some versions apparently do.
* I wish the arm could extend just a bit lower, but I understand there are physical design constraints.

Bottom Line
Overall, I like the camera and I’m keeping it. It does exactly what I wanted: enable better eye contact in video calls.

That said, the image quality doesn’t match the premium price point. If you’re creating content or care most about picture quality, a high-end Logitech camera will likely be a better value for that purpose.

But if your main goal is more natural eye contact in day to day Zoom meetings, this camera delivers—you’ll just have to decide whether that feature alone is worth the price.
