Elgato Facecam Neo

The easy-slide privacy shutter provides peace of mind by physically blocking the camera lens when not in use, preventing unwanted recording. This is a simple yet effective way to protect your privacy and ensure you are not being watched without your knowledge. It gives users control over their camera usage.

Automatic light correction ensures clear facial expression even in harsh lighting. This feature automatically adjusts brightness and contrast to provide a clear image even in dimly lit environments. It is useful for video calls in rooms with poor lighting or at night, ensuring clear visibility during calls and recordings.

This webcam does not have a built-in microphone, so it naturally lacks built-in microphone noise reduction. Users will need to use an external microphone or headset for audio, which may offer its own noise reduction capabilities. The absence of a built-in microphone is a notable limitation.

Automatic focus adjusts the focus to keep your face clear even when you move. Useful for presentations or video calls where you need to move around. You can maintain clear focus without manual adjustments, ensuring that you are always in focus and clearly visible to the other participants.

The inclusion of a 1/4" thread allows the webcam to be attached to a tripod. This provides stable placement and flexible angle adjustment. It is useful for situations where you want to set the camera at a specific height or angle, offering more control over the camera's positioning and stability.

While the webcam has a 77° field of view, it is not explicitly marketed as a wide-angle lens. Therefore, it may not capture as wide of a field of view as dedicated wide-angle lenses. This may limit its use in situations where you need to include multiple participants or showcase a larger background.
