POHO 4K Webcam - 4K UHD Web Camera with Microphone for Zoom, Skype, Teams - USB Plug & Play PC Camera - 13MP, Auto Focus, Wide Angle Lens

I was concerned that it would block too much of the screen. The camera is much smaller than expected, that’s a good thing. Sound, while has an echo, is also better than I expected. I recommend it.

I really wanted to like this webcam but it has a lot of shortcomings. I hope they take my feedback and release an improved version. It's a cool formfactor that has a lot of potential for those like me that use s big screen and want to look better on camera. It has nice metal construction but there is no felt or rubber to prevent it from scratching your screen and the clip lacks any grip so like to slide and was a balancing act to keep it in place. It advertises 30fps but I could only get the apps I tried to go up to 25fps on my PC. I also tried connecting it to my M1 Mac but it crashed the apps I tired, so no there is no mac compatibility if you were curious. 1080p quality looked the same 4k so I don't think it can really do 4k. It says it's includes a USB 3.0 cable which is required for 4k on other webcams I own but it only came with a USB 2.0 USB cable and wouldn't work when connected with a known good USB-C cable to a USB 3.0 only port. It is stuck at the terrible quality of other USB 2.0 cameras I've tried. The camera doesn't work well in low light, especially compared some of it peers. The default auto exposure setting seemed really dark. It also really like to autofocus hunt. I looked for a support contact and none was found in the included manual or in the listing. I'm not sure how I would even get warranty support for if my unit was defective.

I upgraded my home office computer which includes a much larger 4K monitor, thus my normal work Zoom camera setup no longer worked (the angle was all wrong with Logitech on top of the monitor). So I purchased this little camera to correct the situation. Now the positioning is nearly perfect, although it would be nice if they had an adjustable boom to change the vertical drop. Other issues that people mention in the bad reviews are all due to them not knowing how to set up the camera. If you do a native camera test you will see that it is a 4K camera, typically though Chrome or other browsers will default to 640 or 720p. To get around this you need to you video streaming software to set the parameters you want on a video call. Same for the darkness comment. You need to set auto-lighting in the direct control settings for the camera. Do all that and it almost works perfectly. I am still getting some auto-focus jumping even though I have auto-focus turned off. When I do a slight blur on my background during Zoom calls, this seems to alleviate the problem.

Overall this is an OK webcam. The autofocus feature, although it sounds appealing, is the single most annoying feature - so much so that this is going back. There isn't a way to disable it even with additional software support that is supposed to disable it. It only remains disabled for a brief moment then goes right back to this annoying feature. There is also a delay in transmission that happens every now and then which freezes the frame; also incredibly annoying. If you're intending to use this for professional use - I advise finding something else.

I bought this camera for my wife when she is on a Zoom meeting. The small lens allows her to see the full screen and any paper work she has to refer to. Picture is good quality. The only reason for the 3 stars in the autofocus is because you cannot shut it off. It constantly moves in and out and can be distracting. I downloaded a seperate software app that controls the camera and lets me shut of the autofocus. I start the app before going into Zoom so it will control the camera focus and not Zoom. Overall very happy with the footprint and picture quality. I use a seperate mic so I cannot speak to that. If there were way to shut off autofocus I would give it 5s across the board.

I really want this camera to work but it's so dark. I can't even see myself.

This camera has a very narrow field of vision, that is okay. When it is in focus it is great, unfortunately it only stays in focus for half a second and then goes out of focus and then repeats.

Very dark image. The video is not of good quality, blurry. I do not recommend it for purchase. I tried it on MacOS and Windows, the problem is not solved.
