5.0 out of 5 starsPerfect for a conference room
By Scott Allison on May 1, 2014
Verified Purchase
We used to use Logitech C920 webcams in our conference rooms, but then I switched them out for the Genius Widecam instead. Now everyone sitting round the conference room table can be seen. It really makes a huge difference having the 120 degree field of view. I would pay twice the price for it, but at only $40 this is a steal!

5.0 out of 5 starsShows the whole living room!!!
By Josh on June 3, 2013
Verified Purchase
I have a computer connected to my TV in the living room so that we can Skype (video chat) with family. With the distance between my house and that of family, video chatting is how they get to see my toddler grow. Of course getting a toddler to sit still for video calls is next to impossible. That is where this camera comes in. The webcam we used before had a standard angle and it showed a little more than our couch across the room and little of the floor space between the couch and TV. This camera with the 120 degree viewing angle shows almost my entire living room. It is amazing just how much can be seen. Now family can see our toddler anywhere she decides to play in the living room. I highly recommend this camera for anyone looking to use a computer with their living room TV for video chatting.

Side note: I use this with Linux and it works out of the box no configuration needed or software to load.

4.0 out of 5 starsEverything I could possibly want!
By Sniglet on June 28, 2012
Verified Purchase
I was hesitant to buy the Genius F100 since there are very few customer reviews anywhere. I generally don't buy things unless I can read through customer feedback to get a good feeling for the item. I finally bought the F100 anyway since I really wanted a wide-angle webcam for conference calls and simply couldn't find any other options.

And I couldn't be happier! I have only had the F100 for 2 days, but it worked perfectly with Skype conference calls on my Windows 7 machine. I didn't have to install any special drivers, just plugged in the USB cable. Skype works with the F100 just marvelously.

The best thing is that the field of view is really extraordinary! The entire conference room in our office can now be seen. Before this we always had half the people in the meetings out of frame. The microphone quality is also excellent. It even seems to be better than on the Microsoft Lifecam we were previously using.

The only downside I can see so far is that the F100 might not be the best choice for a single 1 on 1 video call. It gives the impression that you are far away and there is no good close-up of your face. It would be nice to able to specify a portion of the frame to zoom in on if you don't want the entire picture.

4.0 out of 5 starsNot documented, but you may have to adjust the focus.
By SethRich on January 30, 2013
Verified Purchase
As other reviewers have mentioned, on initial installation the video quality was pretty horrible, and I was about to return the camera. I noticed as I reached toward it that the video of my hand became crystal clear when my hand was a few inches from the lens. Further investigation revealed that the chrome bezel around the lens turns, and when properly adjusted, produces beautiful, razor sharp video. We are now able to include everyone in the room for our meetings.

I am amazed that the manufacturer's reply to a dissatisfied reviewer did not mention the possility of manually adjusting the focus. There is no mention of it in the sparse documentation that comes with the product.

Bottom line is that the camera works very well if you turn the bezel to improve the focus.

3.0 out of 5 starsNot usable as an HD video source
By Austin Spafford on August 12, 2013
Verified Purchase
Sadly, this camera only supports 5 frames per second (fps) while generating a 1080p video source, ruining its usefulness at its purported resolution. The camera will generate 30 fps data at 640x480, but so does my laptop's built in webcam.

The wide field of view works well, the manual focus is easy to use (beneficial with such a wide-angle view), and the clip is the most effective I've seen to date, but unfortunately the camera's advertised 1080p resolution just isn't useful (and needs to be for its intended use).

At least I'll be able to return this one, and with luck I'll find what I need in another HD camera.

EDIT: Shopping for more cameras, I've found out that this camera's extremely limited framerate is likely due to it attempting to transmit uncompressed video data over USB 2.0. Given that they're not advertising USB 3.0 functionality, I'm willing to be it's not just a problem with my laptop. However, I've found that somewhat more expensive webcams such as the Logitech C920 (which I just now ordered) get around the USB 2.0 bandwidth limitation by compressing the video using H.264 to accomplish 1080p at 30fps.

EDIT: Having played around with the Logitech C920, I can confidently recommend buying it instead! It's a bit more expensive, but well worth the additional money. The 1080p video is indeed a smooth 30fps (decompression uses about 5% of my laptop's CPU), the auto-focus is amazingly fast and stable, and the camera's configuration-window is amazingly detailed (every focus/zoom/tracking/color/audio option I could imagine), and is straightforward to use. I immediately returned the WideCam F100 for a refund after trying out the Logitech C920!

4.0 out of 5 starsSo far so good
By jj on December 26, 2012
Verified Purchase
I needed a wider-angle-than-normal camera to handle our conference room and this little guy does the trick. We don't use the mic on it so I can't review that. The picture is more than adequate enough for the Skype based video conferencing we do. I use this with a Mac. No drivers were necessary. No muss no fuss. If you're looking for a budget solution with a wide angle lens, consider this one.

I should note that I purchased two other cameras before this. Both advertised a wide angle lens (but did not publish the actual numbers) and both were around 78 degrees. Keep in mind that when vendors state "wide-angle" they often have different interpretations of what that means. When I put this at the head of our 13' conference table we get pretty much everyone in the picture except the two people sitting immediately to the sides of the camera. The people on the far end of the table do appear pretty small but that's what you get with this kind of lens. This camera gives the feeling of everyone being there but you won't want it if you're looking for real clarity and close-up detail. That said, you won't find that for anything close to this price.
