Customer reviews
Good quality and crystal clear image
Works 100% in my imac mini. No additional drivers required.Videos and sound is crystal clear
Great quality webcam with clear picture and easy setup
Very impressed with its performance. The picture quality is good, sharp and clear. The built-in microphone captures sound well, which is perfect for video calls and online meetings.Setup was quick and straightforward.
Great in Bright Light, Needs Help in Low Light
The Good: - Sharp 4K resolution when lighting is ideal (daylight or well-lit rooms). - Easy plug-and-play setup—no drivers needed for Windows or macOS. - Sleek, sturdy build, though slightly larger than expected (not as compact as some Logitech cams).The Drawbacks: - Struggles in mixed or low light, especially with backlighting (e.g., windows behind you). Even in my bright office, the image turned grainy as the camera overcompensated for ambient light. - Requires extra lighting for true 4K quality. I had to buy a ring light to illuminate my face directly—only then did the footage look crisp.- Auto-focus/exposure isn’t perfect. It often prioritises background light over facial clarity.Final Thoughts:This webcam delivers on 4K resolution, but only with perfect lighting. If your room has uneven light (e.g., a window behind you), expect to invest in a supplemental light source. For the price, it’s decent, but some users might prefer a more forgiving camera like the Logitech Brio.Recommendation: Buy if you’re willing to control your lighting setup—otherwise, look for a webcam with better low-light performance.

-
BRILLIANT!!!!
This product is Excellent Quality!!!

Happy with the product :)
My goal was to just use this for Zoom to record exercise classes. It works really well when about a metre or more from the camera. Colour and clarity is good. Does not seem 4k to me, but that could also be zoom. It is a wide angle to expect a slight "fish eye" effect. Quality close up isn't so great (face close to camera) but I don't think that is what it is designed for. Overall MUCH better than my Mac laptop camera so very happy with quality for the price :)

good
very clear and works great 👍
-
4K
Excellent picture quality , used daily in a large conference room. Excellent mic quality. Great buy
-
pretty good
camera is pretty good, requires usb 3.0 ports to make use of 4K and the colour is a little dull but if you're using it for recording something you'll edit later you just need to boost the saturation to fix this. theres no autofocus so perfect for any sort of panel discussion type thing, overall happy with this purchase.

For a meeting room conference call
The focus on this camera is from about a metre from the camera to infinity. it is not a good Teams camera for a single person sitting at a desk in front of the camera. Rather at the end of a meeting room table with more than one person in view. The image quality is excellent and shows enough detail so people far from the camera at the back of the room are clearly visible.

Best there is
I have had many webcams, but this one has the best quality out of all of them.

4K Webcam
4K webcam when plugged in to the USK 3.0, works perfect! very happy with the buy!
-
Awesome Camera
Awesome webcam. Does the job and looks good. good quality too
-
Insane!
Best web cam ever! but its physically big.
Like the cable is a bit awkward to mount on a vertical screen set up. And because I have no USB 3 ports available it only runs in standard 1080P but even with the low res it looks amazing.
Def recommend -
Works Ok
Does not seem 4k but video quality is pretty decent regardless
-
Great Product
The Image on the product is amazing - just a note change the adaptive brightness on the Webcam settings - it really helps with the fps on the Webcam
-
Hik Webcam
Very good value for the price. Works extremely well in a boardroom on top of the TV, but you MUST have a separate speaker/mic attached to your laptop as the unit mic is too far away. Will work fine if just on top of the laptop.

Hikvision DS-U18 Full 4K UHD Webcam
Ultra HD Video
Clear And Smooth Video Bringing Comfortable Visual Enjoyment. The camera its more than what I expected. If you want a good camera for your pc don't hesitate to buy it.
The only thing I didn't like about, I can't adjust any settings or take pictures. -
Plug and play, easy to install, works well with all my conference apps and great picture, also works well in dull light
-
Good quality
-
Worth it! Been looking for a decently priced 4K webcam for a while. This is great for conference rooms that use TV's.
-
The best webcam in the market. If you are a vlogger, youtuber or into online teaching and stuff like that, this is the webcam for you! We’ve used it for a few days now and the video are amazing! The 4k capacity makes it all the more clearer!
-
Realy good quality image. No problems installing.
Mounting mechanism might not see December but will be extra carefull. -
Really good webcam, even the mic is good. I really like it.
-
