It's a decent webcam with sharp visual quality in a well-lit room, with a brighter than average low-light video output. After downloading Dell Peripheral Manager, if you enable HDR, the sharpness and brightness will auto-adjust to make both the background and foreground very high quality. With HDR on, you would need to enable auto white balance because the colors end up having a certain overly pink or blue hue to it. HDR does increase brightness in very low-lit rooms (such as light from your monitor only), however there will be artifacting and ghosting (i.e. and afterimage) because I believe the sensor superimposes its captures over one another to artificially increase brightness. Other existing webcams may achieve the same brightness in low-lit rooms without the ... MoreIt's a decent webcam with sharp visual quality in a well-lit room, with a brighter than average low-light video output.

Other existing webcams may achieve the same brightness in low-lit rooms without the ghosting. It looks fine if you don't move around much though. The AI Auto Framing works fine if you set the tracking sensitivity to Fast and the frame size to Narrow. The camera only has 65 and 78 degree field of view options, a supposed 4x digital zoom, autofocus and manual focus works alright, the priority between exposure and frame rate have little effect (and will not work while HDR is on), there are brightness, sharpness, contrast, and saturation sliders and 50Hz and 60Hz anti-flicker options. At 2K resolution, you only have 24 and 30 fps framerate options. Full HD and HD options allow 24, 30, and 60fps framerate. The camera has a microphone but I don't use it because any USB microphone these days will have clearer audio, but I heard that it wasn't too bad (it has a bit of muffle to it but otherwise it's not too terrible). Also, compared to other webcams, it takes about 1-2 seconds longer to begin showing an output. I do enjoy the cover being able to clip on magnetically; the webcam itself contains the magnets and not the round cover.

I was hoping for a bit more in terms of image quality and performance. It has a nice physical design, and does plug-and-play quite easily, but every time I join a call, it's blurry (out of focus) for about 15-20 seconds before coming into focus. I don't understand what it's doing. I even set a manual focus using the (pretty nicely designed) software that ships with it. Even with manual focus set up, the camera starts blurry every single time I turn it on, and it just sits there blurry for an extended period before finally shifting into focus.One other thing is the HDRI option which was available in the software. I actually thought I was going to have to return the camera because I experiencing terrible color banding and compression on my video. I finally figured ... MoreI was hoping for a bit more in terms of image quality and performance.

I finally figured out it was happening because this HDRI option was enabled. The image quality was decent without it. Why include this feature? It massively degraded the image quality.I don't just want to complain. As mentioned before, the physical design is rather pretty. The image quality is decent, and it's nice to have the controls provided in the included software. It has impressive low-light handling so you can be visible on a call in almost any lighting condition. I wish there was a shallower depth of field, so that I could blur out the background in-cameraOverall, it's pretty nice, but the biggest problem is that extended period of blurriness at the start of every call.

Great webcam with microphone. I only gave it 4 stars because it is not compatible with Windows Hello. (the ability to unlock your pc with your face) Had I known not all camera's where not compatible I would have looked for another Camera/Mic option. I have used it, mic works well for google searches and camera / mic works well for Zoom. I got it at a great price and the lack of windows hello is not enough to bother with returning it. I like the camera and mic are all in one and you can use one without the other.

Absolutely love this webcam. I'm sure there will be reviews that cover all of the features in detail but I'll add 2 favorites. My home office is by large window (love the light!) but my laptop webcam would wash out my face. The Dell software has a setting for warm tones and that completely brought back my beautiful complexion. Second, the software has an AI tracking feature that is a hit with others on video calls. It will zoom in to my face perfectly. If I lean left or right, the zoom follows me. If I lean back in my chair to listen, my laptop looked like I was in the next county. The software again zooms in. It is slow and unobtrusive. I love this thing and the price/value was awesome. Great looking product too with the trick magnetic screen cap. So darn happy!
Literature said the camera requires a ,USB3 port. My configuration says I have this. The blue color on my USB connector indicates I have this. The camera did not work. The installation also requires some Dell peripheral interface manager. I remember with DOS (yes, I am that old) it could take the better part of a day to get a new device operational. I was done trying. I put the webcam back in the box and returned it. The return process went smoothly.
I got this webcam to complete the Dell computer I recently bought. I don't know how much I will use it in the future, nor do I know much about the technical aspects of the camera. This one seemed to be a mid-range product, both in features and in price. It was very easy to install. Right after I pulgged it in, the instructions appeared on the screen automatically. I tested it by making a short recording of myself and it worked fine. The picture was very clear and the sound was good, even though I wasn't speaking very loudly. I do like the cover for the lens, since I won't be using it much. I think that this webcam will be fine for me if and when I need it in the future.
This camera requires a lot of calibration to work well. Physically, I agree with other reviews that it is well built - but there's no pivot on the camera itself. In other words, the 'kickstand' on the back is very sensitive and despite the rubberized surface that coats it (which I appreciate) even poster puddy doesn't fully secure it to the monitor and it flops around A LOT. I used to have a camera with a hinge on the base that allowed you to control the angle of the camera without disturbing the base. Not here. The whole body of this camera moves and prevents any fine tuning to the angle. The AI in it is also very laggy. For example, when I join a zoom call - I'm invariably overexposed for several moments - long enough for the audience to comment - until it ... MoreThis camera requires a lot of calibration to work well.

The whole body of this camera moves and prevents any fine tuning to the angle. The AI in it is also very laggy. For example, when I join a zoom call - I'm invariably overexposed for several moments - long enough for the audience to comment - until it calibrates to the ambient light. And - yes - there are a lot of sliders and adjustments in Dell's peripheral app to control this - but I think there's a breakdown between what this app controls and what zoom accepts. I'm guessing there's a secret battle going on behind the scenes between the 2 apps to control my image and I'm not sure where or how to make adjustments permanent. Either way, plan to spend 1-2 minutes PER call adjusting the camera in the Dell app and then via test zoom call BEFORE going into your main meeting. The image is not much better than my old LogiTech from 12 years ago and at least that camera had a nice hinge that allowed for real-time adjustments to framing without it falling off the monitor. I think the mic is acceptable and glad it is incorporated. I will say the magnetic cover is a nice feature and give it high marks there - but the fine tuning before EVERY call is a massive productivity drain for my workflow.
I had a cheap generic web-cam for my PC for some years and wanted an upgrade. This Dell web-cam was rated in online reviews as one of the better web-cams, and while it was an improvement, it was only moderately but for around 3x the cost. Mostly it improved the lighting and some clarity in the image. I was hoping for much better image resolution but it wasn't great. Considering the comparable quality of a cell phone camera, how can something like this be so terrible yet listed as a "Pro" webcam? Returned - not worth keeping.
I was looking for an external webcam to connect to my desktop computer and got this Dell Pro 2k webcam. This is a professional 2K QHD webcam with great video quality and picture clarity. Most of the times I take meetings on either Zoom or Microsoft teams and it connects well with both of them. It has a 78 degrees field of view and has intelligent features such as advanced digital overlap HDR, video noise reduction (3D and 2D), temporal noise reduction (3DNR) and spatial noise reduction (2DNR). It comes with a USB-A connector cable and also has Dell peripheral manager software for Windows OS and Mac OS. It has a large Sony Starvis sensor with 1440p clarity. It has facial detection auto exposure (FDAE) which balances the harsh lighting on the face for optimal image ... MoreI was looking for an external webcam to connect to my desktop computer and got this Dell Pro 2k webcam.

It also has an AI auto framing which keeps the center framed as the user moves or shifts so the focus is always on the person. There is a noise reduction mic built into the sleep webcam and has an integrated mounting club that does not block the monitor screen. It comes with a privacy and protection with a shutter cap that magnetically snaps on and off and stows behind the webcam for handy safekeeping. It is about 44mm in diameter, 92mm in length and hence has a super sleep design that can fit well with a desktop or laptop as needed.
Great camera. I found the fold down leg barely sufficient to keep the camera on the top of the monitor. If you bump the camera, it can easily fall onto the keyboard, desk or down behind as it rolls off. Perhaps a velcro tab or some simple plastic mount or plastic snap of some kind would work. I realize many monitors and many situations are a problem, so I didn't take off any stars. This also goes on an Alienware monitor. Using a wall mount moveable arm.
