Anker PowerConf C200 2K Webcam for PC/Laptop/Mac, Computer Camera, Low-Light Correction, AI-Noise Canceling Mics, Adjustable Field of View, Built-in Privacy Cover, Stereo Mics, for Meeting

I'm not a "techie" person, so I needed something simple to install, yet that would provide a clear and professional image to my clients when I do virtual meetings. I was replacing a camera that had stopped being reliable (sometimes worked, sometimes didn't), and I was dreading having to do through a setup or install process with a new one. Fortunately, the install process was a piece of cake! In fact, the install was MUCH simpler than tinkering around trying to get my old camera to work! What a relief! I've had it for a few months now, and it was a good choice for me. It was SO worth a little extra money to get this camera in terms of quality and ease of use. One small detail I really like is that the lens cover for privacy is INSIDE the camera. That is a nice design touch. It's orange, so you can easily tell whether the lens cover is on or off, but it doesn't attract and hold dust the way the little ridges on an external privacy cap does. At first, I thought the lens cover looked "thin" and I was waiting for the day when it would jam and ruin the image from the camera. That hasn't happened -- however, I might recommend that anyone with small children keep the camera and the kids away from one another. I can see a kid really enjoying making the orange appear and disappear with the slider -- until it breaks. The lens cover should be fine with adult use, but it's not a toy for children. The picture is clean and crisp. So far (knock on wood) the camera has been reliable and there have been no headaches. I've used it with Teams and Zoom without issues. I can recommend this one without hesitation.

This is a great little camera. I was pleasantly surprised by how great it looks. I would suggest installing the software as there are some great control options you won’t have for the camera otherwise. The picture is crystal clear and the mic performs way above my expectations. If you’re looking for a great camera for meetings or streaming at a good price, I’d recommend you give this one a shot.

I bought this webcam for a mix of use cases: work meetings, online classes, occasional streaming, and letting my son use it for online chess tournaments. It’s not a single-purpose setup, and that’s actually where this camera shines. Setup was completely plug-and-play. I didn’t have to install or configure anything to get a good image. I’ve mounted it both on a tripod and directly on top of a monitor. The tripod mount worked as expected, but the monitor mount was a pleasant surprise — very stable and secure. I remove the camera after each use since it’s shared, but if this were staying on a monitor full-time, it would easily be a set-and-forget situation. Lighting in my space is mixed (standard room lighting plus Nanoleaf LED panels), and the camera handled it well without any tweaking. I haven’t needed to adjust settings beyond enabling or disabling the microphone. The image is clean and looks especially good for this price point. I did notice some difficulty when trying to use a green screen, but that’s likely more about my lighting or OBS setup than the camera itself. Autofocus has been solid — it stays locked and doesn’t hunt or distract during calls. I can’t really comment on the built-in microphone because I immediately disabled it and use dedicated RØDE audio gear instead. Likewise, if there’s optional Anker software, I didn’t feel the need to use it. Compared to other webcams I’ve used, this is definitely better than basic Logitech models. I haven’t used an Elgato webcam, but for most people this falls squarely into the “good enough, stop shopping” category. Who should NOT buy this: Anyone expecting 4K resolution or professional-level camera results. This is not a replacement for a real camera setup. I have limited need for a webcam, and this fits my needs perfectly. Bottom line: For the price, the image quality is surprisingly good, setup is painless, and the mounting is more solid than expected. Easy 4 stars.

The Anker PowerConf C200 punches way above its weight at the $50–$60 price range. I’ve tested eight different webcams, and the only one I’ve used that’s clearly better is the OBSBOT Tiny 2 Lite, which costs around $140 and mainly wins due to PTZ tracking and better zoom. Outside of those features, the C200 delivers excellent image quality for a fraction of the price. The 2K (QHD) image quality is sharp and clear — I can easily read text on my shirt and see details in the background. Color accuracy is great, and there’s a surprising amount of customization available. I use it for gaming, streaming, Discord, and Zoom, and it performs consistently well across all of them. Low-light performance is very good for this class, and with proper backlighting the image looks extremely clean. It also supports digital zoom, which most webcams in this price range don’t offer at all. Build quality feels solid (a bit bulky, but sturdy), it doesn’t get overly hot, and the physical privacy shutter is a nice touch. Overall, if you want excellent image quality without spending over $100, this is one of the best webcams you can buy. I did not test the MIC quality, as I use a desktop Mic (fifine AM8). Cameras I've tested: EMEET S600 4K $60 GUSGU G910 2K $40 UGREEN Full HD 1080P $20 Lenovo HD 1080P $20 (This one was pretty decent for the price, although build quality is poor - feels cheap) NexiGo HelloCam 1080P $56 Creative Live!

Saw some reviews saying this is a bad choice but I used it and it’s pretty amazing. The auto focus works amazing. I got it on sale for 50 so it’s an even better deal. The recording is crisp and pretty good quality. Easy to install, and it’s got different ways to mount which are pretty stable.

I have been searching and searching for a home office web cam in order to have video calls with friends and family.....Amazon has a generous selection.....I first tried the Logitech C920 series consisting of the "e" and "x" models.....At first I returned the "e" because the color consistency....The "x" was better in color but had no real depth of field....every time I would push back a little, the focusing would go bananas and the lighting element would cause the picture to go very dark...it would equalize in about 4-7 seconds, but that is not acceptable......Also, the backlighting would not during bright periods of the day made the picture very white with flashing on one side of my face.... So then I saw a video comparing the Logitech Brio 4k and the Anker C200 2k....one was ~ $200 and one was ~ $60...this video has remarkable results and was very fair in the test performed.....The Brio 4k had warmer tones, a little better text sharpness but the auto-focus was very slow; especially when you moved side to side and up and back.....The Anker had a fast auto-focus and a fantastic ability to use low light...Even in a room with no light, the picture was excellent and had all room elements there and you could not tell, there was no light.... The price for the Logitech Brio 4k was unexplainably high considering the issues I observed....Don't get me wrong, Logitech make super products, and I have a key board that has lasted over 8 years. But for me, I believe they missed the boat on this one, or maybe I just got a bad unit....it was over-priced and the slow auto-focus was a no-go for me... As for the Anker C200 2k, I couldn't be happier...I own numerous ANker products as well, including chargers, EverFrost 40L dc cooler, ANker 767 solar generator and 3 Anker solar panels...But the main reason I chose this unit over the Logitech Brio 4k was because of the backlighting and low light feature and the near flawless auto-focus; not to mention it cost.... So, if you want a cheap and very good web cam , try this one out....it won't be a disappointing experience....

This Web came as very plug-in play for friendly. It fits perfectly on top of a monitor has a very wide angle no relays. I run it on my MacBook and I know it runs very well on windows as well. It seems like a good camera for streaming that’s what we bought it for. Runs through OBS. Very great camera. I also love the built-in privacy screen you can move.

i needed a cheap webcam just for casual hang-outs in discord with friends. I looked through so many reviews (both on amazon and youtube) to get a gist of what to expect from the device. After looking through so many reviews, i was under the impression that one NEEDED to adjust the settings with the anker software to get decent use out of it. But that is not the case! Although the software IS useful for taking control of certain settings, I only ended up adjusting 2 settings. I lessened the viewing angle to 78 degrees, and i raised the saturation by 2 points. That is IT. Very minor adjustments. The camera works really well right out of the box! Don't get me wrong, I would still recommend everyone get the software. It took just a few seconds to install, and there's a lot of video, image, and sound settings to adjust to give the user full control of how they want the video to look. (There are resolution settings, anti-flicker settings, brightness, sharpness, contrast, focus settings, etc.) btw, my desk has a shelf above the monitor area, so i don't actually have any space to attach a webcam on top of the monitor. I ended up placing the webcam on top of the shelf, angled downwards a bit, and that worked just fine! I'm happy with it!
