tl;dr - I would not recommend this to others.In general this is an ok, but not great web camera for the price. Now that I've used it in person, I'm sure that there are better options. However, as a portable camera with ring light for someone who spends a lot of time on video calls from hotel rooms; this may be just what you need to keep bulk and weight down in your travel bag. It is adequately small and portable for one with a built in light.For those that want to read the full details, there are some design failures that are worth mentioning:1. The threads are too shallow for mounting this camera on a tripod. The screw bottoms out before the foot clamps down on the tripod; making the thing wobble. This isn't an issue if you hang it from your monitor the way most people will.2. The activity light is horrible. It does exist, but it passes light through from the ring light and is also extremely dim and the same white color as the ring light. With the ring light off it is possible to discern if the camera is in use; but you have to look at it closely and think about it. When the ring light is on; you can NOT tell if the camera is in use or not by looking at that indicator. This disqualifies the camera in my opinion. The activity light should be a different color (I recommend green or amber) and should be mounted in a way that it doesn't internally bleed light through that area from the ring light.3. The privacy cover is a sticker they threw in the box. I use similar slide covers on phones and laptops that don't come with one built in; however as an advertised feature of this camera, that is extremely disappointing. Yes; technically the box includes a privacy cover that you can add; no the camera does NOT have a privacy cover itself.4. White balance issues. For general use; the picture quality for this camera is good given it's price. There are some small auto-focus issues; but they have been relatively minor. However, I purchased this one (with a generally reviewed as bright ring light compared to other similarly priced cameras) specifically to use with a green screen on zoom calls. In this capacity; the camera gets thrown completely off. I look like a tomato. When I change the light source it briefly looks ok, but a moment later it adjusts the balance and goes back to tomato mode. This would be annoying but forgivable if it only happened with external light sources; but even using the ring light at full bright as the only light source; it still happens. For this reason; I 100% can't use this camera and will probably give it to someone who will only use it occasionally from hotel rooms.I've had better luck with other cameras from this same vendor; so this one is a bit of an enigma. Buyer beware.
