IFWATER HDMI 4K USB Camera for Live Streaming 10X Variable Focus PC Webcam US...

If I were troubleshooting circuit boards this would rock. But I needed it to be auto focus. My hands blurred as I demonstrated circuit operation

We have ours set up with our church streaming equipment. The set up was so easy, it is just plug and play! Once we had it adjusted with the lens we were ready to go! Even our junior high youth have no trouble navigating this camera. Our sanctuary has the streaming about, 40 yards back from the pulpit in a balcony, and it has great quality.

Title says it all - the camera is very nice but I re-read the specs again and couldn't find anywhere it said the HDMI output was only 1080p. We wanted it for a 4K HDMI camera so we are returning it. That said, the picture quality was awesome. Lens has some small set screws meant for locking down the aperture, zoom and focus. We didn't try plugging it into a computer for USB video because we didn't want that, wanted the HDMI 4K. Power is supplied from your own USB-C power supply. So while a nice camera with a solid build quality feel, it doesn't meet our needs.

Some details that I wish the product page had: Aside from the bracket, it has a tripod mount hole (1/4-20 thread). HDMI cord is about 6ft long. USB cord is about 3-4ft long.

Spent 2.5 hours trying to get this to work. It constantly disconnects from the pc and becomes an unrecognizable device. I tried it on multiple different apps and only got it to work through OBS twice. The first time it showed only a partial image with rendering issues and the second time it actually displayed an image properly. I thought I finally got it to work until the camera disconnected and became unrecognizable again. Not worth the money or the headache.

I think it's been said in some previous reviews: Picture quality isn't the greatest. If you are using it for livestreaming of people, then they will be totally washed out. it's good for a 2nd or 3rd camera, but shouldn't be a primary. No way to fix other than cutting off the light coming in, but that's not a clean option. Mounting - the inputs on the back don't allow you to mount this to a wall, so I'm not sure why they include wall mounting hardware since that's impossible. To mount to a wall, you'll need a shelf or a way to connect this to another wall mount. This is just a note to others. HDMI is a full size on the back. Probably should have gone with a mini-hdmi and moved that with the USB-C to another location as to allow for proper wall mounting. NOTE: HDMI is 1080 and not 4K - USB is the 4k.

We use this for a birds eye view for our D&D board game table. Resolution is fantastic and the zoom is great. Setup was just plug and play.

Using in a work application to take pictures at an order verification station.
