[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Lenovo 500 FHD Webcam is the lowest price & name brand webcam that's Windows Hello compatible.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This camera works great! I was expecting a lot less for the price. The picture is clear and bright at least on my 4K screen and my favorite part is that Windows Hello works! it recognizes me most of time and saves me from having click through options to use my PIN or open my laptop to use the fingerprint reader or its camera for windows hello. I usually have my laptop closed when it's docked to my 2 28" Lenovo 4K screens. It's also better for zoom than having to open the laptop. I'm very happy with it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this camera for its facial recognition capability with Windows Hello. The cam works very well with this task. But there are downsides that were immediately apparent. The camera is somewhat pricey and bulkier than the inexpensive HD camera it replaced. The USB cable goes straight out the back of the unit rather than down. There is a manual lens shutter that can be closed by sliding a tab across the top of the unit, but unfortunately this throws off the camera angle and tilt since the swivel stand on the unit is so loose. The camera must be reset level every time. The unit works well enough but is bulky, unsteady, and vulnerable. I would probably not buy this camera again unless there are no better options available.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Excellent product, excellent quality image, it is just a little big in dimensions compared to other brands, but this small difference allows it to offer Windows Hello.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great camera at a great price, does everything I wanted at a higher quality than I expected for the price.
