If you're running Windows 10 and it doesn't work, there is a trick to setting it up that Logitech does not tell you about. Try downloading the Logitech driver and saving it on your desktop. With the camera plugged in directly to a USB 2.0 on the computer (not a hub), reboot into safe mode, click on the .exe file you saved to your desktop and let the installation do its thing. Once finished, reboot again into regular mode. Then click on the Logitech Camera Settings icon and the camera should come on. Thats what I did anyway and when I told Logitech they wondered why they didn't think of that. The camera works very well and I've already done some cross country Skype calls using its microphone with no problems.
Why spend $50-75 for a webcam? This $19 option gives you EVERYTHING you ever wanted for crisp web conferencing, Skype, etc. It operates flawlessly with clear well-focused video, sits comfortably atop my 24" display, is infinitely adjustable, and the included mic sounds clean and clear. Do yourself a favor and buy this inexpensive 720P webcam, and save your dough for where the highest resolutions really matter; such as a nice camera or smartphone upgrade.
Prior to the latest Windows 10 update, I would have given this webcam a 5. Now, it will not work on my Windows 10 computer. I've done everything Logitech tells me to do but it still will not work. Logitech has yet to offer a solution. Therefore, I am giving it one star because it won't work. I've had to buy a Windows webcam just to make sure I've got one that works. Don't know who I am more upset with, Microsoft for making it so hard for accessories to keep working or Logitech for not providing a solution. Either way, this webcam does not work with my Windows 10 computer,
I purchased this because I had to do a proctored test on my computer. The proctor had to watch me take the test, which was fine. However, he had to see my drivers license with my name and pic and DL#. He said he could not read it. I tried to focus the camera but no matter what, You could not see the writing clearly. If you need this as a quick and easy to to use camera that is not super focused, then it is ok for the price. Any type of focusing on something smaller than your hand, it will be a problem. I could not use it for what I needed it for.
This webcam is better than I expected it to be. I was initially drawn to the price, and the fact that it can just rest over a monitor.
PROS:
- This cam takes a really nice picture and records or streams crisp, and without blur or distortion. It worked better than my laptops built in cam.
- I can place it on my secondary laptop, or in a different area of my desk, to get multiple angles while recording or streaming.
- Nice and portable-sized. Not big and bulky, heavy, or with the need to sit on the desk.
- Sleek appearance. The webcam has a nice, rounded appearance that gives it a higher end feel.
- I like that it accommodates a wide screen view and can capture in HD without problems.
- I use this on my laptop and it rests on top. I'm able to slide it around until I get the preferred angle.
CONS:
- The only real con is that it doesn't clamp down too well. If I accidentally tug on the cord, the webcam easily falls off. I sometimes will let it set on the top of my laptop screen by the hinge (the part that bends) to make it a little harder to knock off. If it could have just a little more stability, it would be awesome.
Overall however, I'm very happy with the purchase and really like this little cam.
If you take online classes like I do where you are required an external webcam for proctoring, I highly recommend this device. It is the best quality product in the price range. Most proctoring programs require you to hold up an ID card up to the webcam to take a picture, and this webcam allows you to be able to do that while maintaining a crisp image.
However, be warned: THIS VOIDS THE WARRANTY.
You'll need to pop off the case (easily done without tools), and then remove three tiny screws holding the plate. When you have the inside exposed, you can see a tiny nub of glue that holds what looks like a gear surrounding the camera. I took a tiny flathead screwdriver to carefully remove the glue nub. Be very careful as doing this voids the warranty and it is very fragile. You can adjust the focus by rotating the gear clockwise or counter clockwise. Be very careful doing this as well--rotating the gear too far out may disassemble the camera lens.
I have two cats, so I didn't want to risk leaving the covers off. I screwed the plates back on once I had the focus adjusted to where I would be able to take a close up picture of my ID clearly.

Purchased for my Octoprint build for my CR-10 printer. I'm using to monitor my print jobs and take time lapse video. The quality is ok, it met my expectations for the price and what I wanted to use it for. I use a gopro for better quality time lapse, but this lets me monitor my builds for issues and insure that remote started builds work fine. I wish it came with a better way to mount, but you can print parts from thingiverse to help mount it in different ways, for now, I'm just using some command strips to hold it in place. See pictures below of my set up with the camera in front of the bed.

We've come a long way from AT&T's dream of picture phones or the massive equipment needed to video tele-conference. Picture quality, light metering and focus are spot-on in auto. But you can tweek picture elements to suit your taste.
