Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a great camera. I purchased it for doing live stream shows with my band and it is much better than the built in camera on my MacBook Pro. Crisp, sharp image with good color and picks up a lot of light. Setup was plug and play. No driver installation was necessary. The fact that it looks like something from a 90's Sci-Fi movie is a nice bonus. My only minor complaint is that I wish there was a little more spring tension in the monitor clip to hold it in place more firmly. It's fine if you don't touch it but can change position if the cord or computer gets moved.

The image quality is adequate for small-format images (like a crowded Zoom call). At full resolution, the image looks pixelated and the low-light performance is bad (see attached photo). The build quality is very cheap. There is no auto-focus, and don't bother trying to rotate the focus ring without pliers. The metal clip doesn't grip the top of the screen correctly, and could scratch the screen coating if you don't pad it. The only positive things I can say is that windows 10 immediately recognized the camera and the face recognition appears to work if the room is bright enough. If this camera were under $30, I would be satisfied. At a pandemic-inflated $99, the quality is unacceptable. Unfortunately, I needed it for my son's virtual computer camp, so I have to take what's available.

The sound and picture are great. The only gripe I have is that I would like the camera to be able to tilt side-to-side.

It's nothing special just a funcional webcam that is good enough. Photo was sonewhat grainy. The metal base which used to anchor it needs some rubber on it imo to prevent scratching and to get a secure hold. It also needs some color correcting doesn't do well with dark colors. For $20-30 it's a solid webcam. Anything over that and I'd try something else. The best thing about it and the only thing I have no qualms with is the mic; it iis really good at picking up audio.

I have a dell xps 13 with the camera at the bottom of the screen. This camera works perfectly with the adjustment, very convenient to use, easy to setup, and amazing clarity.

Works well enough. Good picture, focus. Feels solid and holds its position on top of the monitor nicely. Drawbacks....ability to adjust angle, Field of View would be nice. Having a cover to block when not in use would also be nice. Seems a little expensive.

I needed a webcam and microphone for my desktop computer to be able to join a ZOOM class at my church. After research I picked this Aluratek 1080HP webcam with microphone because it was plug and play and I am not very tech savvy. It worked as advertised. I am well pleased. It has a great picture and sound. I also like the six foot cord which was ample to reach the computer tower which is under my desk. I have a 23" monitor and I really enjoy the clear HD picture.

My husband is preparing to take online college classes and we are older students. I had a laptop with a built in webcam but his desktop had none. Bought this camera with microphone built in, and it was very easy to set up. My 32 year old daughter helped us with setup. Later we tested the camera through Skype and were able to have a nice long video visit with my husband's son who lives in Texas (we're in Indiana). This will be great for Zoom classes and extremely awesome for face to face visits with out of state family! Love it so far!

It has a decent picture for what I needed it to do. It's easy to setup and use. It's the first one I've owned, and the price and quality were right. I use this for volunteer meetings and skype - nothing super professional.

Great webcam, Picture quality was good and the mic was pretty good as well. Easy set up and worked well on a low end PC.

Setup was more involved than expected. Great camera quality. Stylish and tucks easily out of the way.

Great Camera,good video. I used a separate microphone so cant comment on quality of that. But the video is good. Easy plug and play, great for Zoom or Skype.

I bought this as a Deal of the Day, so I got it at a very attractive price. Setup was extremely easy. I just plugged it in to a USB port, let Windows setup do its thing, and was operational in about a minute. There was no software to install or configure. I have used the camera for both Zoom and Google meetings with good results.

This camera is AMAZING!!! First of all, it looks very cool (my dad said it looks like a transformer for some reason) and I love the fact that you can basically set it up anywhere, it can sit on your monitor without damaging anything, you can turn it anywhere so it catches all 360 degrees in one place, you can prop it up and put some weird angles on it. Video quality is really clear and pretty bright too. Very well built and worth the money.

When I use this Webcam with Microphone, it's like the person, or the people I'm meeting with are in the same room. I just plugged it in and didn't need to do anything else. It did the job effortlessly. It's worth every penny.

Great for online meetings. I just needed something instead of the camera built in to my work laptop. Didn't need anything ultra high Def. This does the job. I use an external headset mic and with this camera. No complaints. I also love the unique look. It feels like an old Cannon camera with the wrinkle/bumpy coating it has. Only thing.... I wish the clamp was better. It doesn't do a good job of securing to the screen or whatever you sit it on. So I just used some double sided 3m tape, a small strip and now it is secure.

I did not think this small camera would deliver, but it does (at least in my opinion) . Very simple to set up and although at about $100 bucks its pretty good compared to the $200 or more cameras

Needed a setup for zoom meetings. This was perfect. Does everything I need and no set up at all. Just Plug and Play!! Love It

First purchase of a webcam. Easy set up, very clear picture for the video. Took a while to go through my laptop's menus (Windows 10) to get microphone working, but once I figured it out, it worked fine. For my desktop using Windows 7, it fully set up automatically...
