Razer Kiyo - Streaming Camera with Ring Lighting (USB Webcam, HD Video 720p, 60 FPS, Compatible with Open Broadcaster Software, Xsplit, Autofocus, Camera Clip, Tripod Connection) Black

Bought this because the Logitech cameras are all out of stock. Everyone is buying webcams because that's the new normal.The camera is a decent build quality. Sits well on top of my monitor.The ring light works well, though it reflects back if you're wearing glasses, so the camera is best positioned slightly offset if you want to avoid this.The picture quality is pretty good for the price. Certainly acceptable for Zoom calls and podcasts, though it does prefer more light as there can be a fair amount of video noise without. Especially if you have a darker background like a green screen. I use an additional ring light plus 3 cool LEDs rated at 15w each in the main room light.Autofocus isn't perfect, but then I haven't found a camera which is.At £100, it's a reasonable price, but I wouldn't want to pay more.I'm giving the camera 5 stars because it's fair for the price.

Amazing bit of kit. Quality is so good

The image quality is great and the built in ring light is a really useful feature. It's easy to set up, the autofocus works well, and it's excellent for streaming, video calls, or recording. When it's working, it's a fantastic webcam.The reason I'm giving it 3 stars is because mine stopped working not long after the warranty period ended. Looking online, I found other people reporting similar experiences, so it doesn't seem like an isolated case. In my experience, the ring light may be the weak point. If I were buying another one, I'd probably avoid using the light unless I really needed it, as that seems to put extra strain on the device.

I bought this for use on Linux. It works out of the box. The picture quality is good. LIke all webcams, the default picture is probably not what you want to see and it needs a bit of tuning. Once adjusted, it works well.The light ring is a nice addition. It puts out enough light to make a dramatic improvement at mid distances (about 1M)If you are using this on Linux, when you first start it, if the resolution is low, check out the "Video Format" setting. The default is YUYV 4:2:2. In that mode, the camera only supports 640x480 and 640x360. So, you need to change to one of the other modes (BGR3, YU12 or YV12) before you can set the higher resolutions.I'm happy with this camera.

The product is really quite good and nice. I tested it with my company laptop/windows. But unfortunately, I had to return it because I bought it to use with my MAC, which doesn't work. I googled it, there is a 3rd application solution, but I didn't want to pay for that app.

The camera quality is excellent quality, my partner has gotten into streaming and this camera does the job extremely well. Looks like an entire professional setup when you have your video on, the ringlight is very bright and does a great job in conjunction with the camera to give a bright video quality.Surprisingly this also has a mic built in, it's not the highest quality but it also does the job. Overall an excellent investment if you spend alot of time on video.

AWFUL, AWFUL SOFTWARE. DO NOT BUYEDIT: And the support is just as bad. A dozen emails to their support team trying to resolve this, and I've had a dozen pointless responses. They cannot or will not submit a bug report / feature request to their software engineering team to even begin the process of resolving this.I'm upgrading this review to add more details. DO NOT BUY THIS CAMERA. The software is awful, the webcam is unusuable in Teams or Zoom meetings. It constantly loses its settings. Two days in and now the Pan/Tilt/Zoom settings have stopped working completely.Awful software and buggy firmware have ruined what should have been a really good webcam.DO NOT BUY. I'm opening a return with Amazon for mine now.====================================Original review:First of all, this is a nicely made camera, and first impressions are good software and excellent customer support. The ring light works well, and also makes it very obvious when your camera is on.But. The software is awful.- The camera isn't named in Zoom, I have to select "USB Video Device". My Logitech was named.- In fact, the camera settings are so bad that it's useless for calls in Teams or Zoom- The preview settings in the Synapse software in no way match the camera view in Zoom, so the settings utility can't fix the problem- While Zoom is using the webcam I can't access or change camera profiles in SynapseSo basically, THERE'S NO WAY TO ADJUST WEBCAM SETTINGS. You can adjust the settings while in Synapse only. You can't adjust the settings for any actual application, and the preview in Synapse doesn't match what the other applications will get.Worse, the settings are lost every reboot (which I now see is reported online by many previous customers). And two days in I find that the pan, tilt & zoom settings no longer have any effect.This is so much worse than my Logitech it's a joke.Logitech's software allows you to change pan, tilt, zoom, focus WHILE YOU'RE IN A MEETING. Imagine that, a webcam that actually lets you use it as a webcam. With Razer you're locked out of all of that, the softtware is it's useless.The Razor is clearly false advertising - "Full Camera Controls with Razer Synapse 3" is a lie. You have partial controls with Synapse, which may or may not work, and which don't cross to other applications.I purchased this camera as an upgrade from my Logitech because I wanted the ability to quickly switch profiles. I have to use Zoom, Teams and OBS with work, and all three need slightly different zoom, pan, tilt and settings.The promised "Full Control" in Synapse 3 is no such thing, you have basic lighting options, and then Razer have added an "Advanced Settings" button which opens the standard Windows webcam control dialog. The problem is NONE OF THESE "ADVANCED SETTINGS" ARE SAVED, which means profiles do not include:- Saturation- Sharpness- Zoom- Exposure- Pan- Tilt- Low light compensationOn top of that, the Razer software has no way to easily switch between profiles. Synapse profiles have no way to add the Kiyo device. Checking online you can add mouse profiles, keyboard profiles, lighting profiles, all of which can be assigned to hotkeys. But Kiyo appears to be in a walled off section of the Synapse software.So the only way to change webcam profiles is to:- Close the application you're using- Open Synapse- Navigate to the Kiyo webcam- Change your webcam profile- Manually change "advanced" settings - pan, tilt, zoom, exposure, etc...- Close Synapse- Relaunch your applicationAWFUL, AWFUL SOFTWARE. DO NOT BUY

I’ve had two. Both have suddenly broken just out of the one year warranty. Good while it worked but a bit miffed I have to get another camera again.Camera suddenly started turning on/off, and Teams couldn’t see it as plugged in.

Je suis ravi de cette petite caméra qui offre une qualité d'image exceptionnelle, une installation facile et de nombreuses fonctionnalités utiles.La première chose qui m'a impressionné, c'est la qualité de l'image. La Razer Kiyo propose une résolution Full HD (1080p) qui offre des détails nets et des couleurs vives. La fonction d'éclairage annulaire intégré est un énorme avantage, car elle assure un éclairage uniforme et flatteur, ce qui est essentiel pour paraître professionnel à l'écran.L'installation est un jeu d'enfant.

De plus, le support réglable vous permet de positionner la caméra à l'angle parfait pour votre diffusion.Ce que j'apprécie également, c'est le fait que la Razer Kiyo dispose d'un couvercle de confidentialité intégré. Vous pouvez facilement fermer le cache lorsque vous ne diffusez pas, ce qui est rassurant du point de vue de la sécurité.Enfin, le rapport qualité-prix est excellent. Vous obtenez une caméra de streaming de haute qualité sans avoir à dépenser une petite fortune.

Elle offre tout ce dont j'ai besoin pour diffuser des vidéos de qualité professionnelle sans tracas. C'est un excellent investissement pour tout aspirant streamer !

Una calidad de imagen más que suficiente con 1080p y 720p a 30 y 60fps. Al conectarla al pc se inicia automáticamente la instalación del software, con una gran capacidad de configuración de la imagen. El detalle del aro de luz es sublime, ya que la luz viene justo de frente rodeando la cámara. Además es regulable. Recomendado. Tiene soporte par monitor y para enroscar brazo/pie

Działała przez trochę ponad 2 lata. Dzisiaj przestała działać - pojawia się krótki błysk na ringu i tyle. Aktualizacja firmware nie pomaga.

Works well, is a wee bit bright on your eyes but quality is excellent

as expected
