## Verdict

Still TechRadar's best overall cheap webcam after a decade on the market. 1080p done right for very little money, and that longevity is the value case for it.

## For

- Reliable 1080p quality
- Stereo microphones
- Built-in privacy shutter
- Still the reference cheap webcam a decade after launch
- Reliable 1080p choice with stereo mics and a privacy shutter

## Against

- Aging, decade-old design now beaten on image quality by newer picks
- Slow autofocus
- Poor low-light
- The underlying design is over a decade old

## Flagged as one to avoid

This product entered 2 of 11 runs as one buyers cross-shop but should not buy, rather than as a pick. It is published here rather than dropped.

## What this tier means

- C: Fair. Acceptable in the right situation, outclassed at its price.

## How to read this

- Each category is researched in four independent runs, one per lens (expert consensus, value, reliability, community pulse). Every run ranks a board of candidates that deliberately includes products buyers cross-shop but should avoid. Placements score on a ranked ladder (LP), and tiers are derived from LP, so no tier is ever assigned by hand.
- LP is this product's points on its own category ladder. It is comparable within a category and not across categories.
- Link status reports what our pre-publication link check found when it fetched the cited URL. It says nothing about the quality of the review.
- A citation with no usable link is listed rather than dropped, and is excluded from the counted total above.
