Meilleurs caméscopes numériques sans fil aux États-Unis, 2025

Good video quality — Strong low-light performance

Settings save directly to webcam

While mounted, the webcam can swivel and tilt forward (up to 90 degrees). If you'd rather use a different mount or a tripod, the mount easily screws off to reveal a standard 1/4-inch thread tripod mounting point.

Impressive low light performance

DSLR-level controls (that can be saved on the camera)

Hardware is sleek and versatile

Great price at $149

Plug in and setup — you will be taken aback by the picture quality and the quality of life features on offer here. Let me explain.

Where to set up the webcam and what to do with it for your streaming can be a conundrum. Not everybody has the space to slap a DSLR on a 1/4-inch rod and suspend it from your desk to get that perfect filmic quality.

Whether you’re resting it atop your monitor and making the most of the angles of rotation and tilt available to you, or removing the monitor grip altogether and screwing it into a 1⁄4-inch thread attachment, the low profile of this cam makes it a cinch to fit into the...

Of course it’s plastic, but there isn’t a hint of cheapness to the feel of this matte texture across any surface, and the concentric circles around the lens are great for fiddling with (not a selling point, but it felt good).

And that privacy cap of the MK.1 that you’d lose all the time? That’s been replaced with a built-in privacy shutter for comfort in its security.

With settings at auto out-of-the-box and opened with Elgato’s Camera Hub software, Facecam MK.2 does a good job, even in challenging light sources like a rain-drenched Nottingham (thanks to that f/2.4 aperture), giving your features plenty of detail and adding a pop of color.

It's not messing around trying to be some 4K monster of a cam, but what the Facecam has always offered is a fantastic uncompressed 1080p stream. And it does it with aplomb. That was true with the MK.1 and is absolutely so in this updated Facecam MK.2.

The original is quite a chonky thing. A boxy beast of plain black plastic with just the concentric rings around the lens to mark out any detail.

But the Facecam has always been more about the image that it captures than what the hardware looks like, and that's better than ever. Not only is the MK.2 capable of delivering the same level of image quality as the original cam, but it's also got that new HDR mode.

None of that takes away from the fact the Elgato software is some of the best around, and links in happily with Nvidia's Broadcast software, too. There are a host of different controls available to the user, which enable you to tailor the image to your personal tastes.

There are other additions to the MK.2 surfaced by the Camera Hub software, too, with the zoom, pan, and tilt options allowing you to bring the image in tighter around you if the 82° FoV is a bit too wide for your tastes.
