Excellent camera - almost perfect. The only feature that I wish it had was an LED indicating that the webcam is active. But the placement of the camera in the line of sight adds a huge direct face to face feeling. I can see others on video calls looking in directions other than straight at me. This is clearly the way to go!
I appreciate the camera greatly. It’s perfect for my needs. However, the ability to adjust the view, how much background it takes in, etc, is frustratingly limited. Trying to use the computer settings to change it just results in the camera crashing. I really wish there was a way to zoom in and out.
Also, it doesn’t work with some sites. To be expected, but also bothersome.
The quality is great and its nice to make a "connection" with my clients.
The iContact Camera is so small and unobtrusive, that I forget to flip it back up. I have a 32 inch 4k screen and the sensor drops down into the perfect spot for meetings. It took me about 10 minutes to retrain my brain to stop looking at the top of the monitor, where my old webcam used to sit.
This is a big improvement in meeting engagement and immersion.
Well Done!
The camera does what it's supposed to do. Compared to the camera on my Macbook, it is a little weaker and a little less sharp.
I find the fact that the USB cable is permanently connected to the camera to be suboptimal. I would prefer a USB-C socket on the camera. Then you can freely choose the cable. The USB-A plug is already outdated and no longer compatible with modern Macbooks. A USB-C connector would be more modern. You could convert it into a USB-A with a very small adapter.
I bought the original version because I didn't need the audio features and larger overall size. I'm pleased with how it works. I don't have it hanging over my screen, but hiding in the bezel between my two screens. I was surprised by the short length of the drop from the top of my monitor, and wish it was a little longer. The bottom block also doesn't pivot. If the line was a stiff but bendable cable, there would be more options. Having said all that, I would recommend to my coworkers.
Using the iContact it has allowed for better eye contact during video meetings. I miss the ability to adjust the angle and zoom on the camera available on my other camera, which is a Logitech Brio.
the camera is ok, even pretty good picture quality. the software need some help. the updates are automatic, but when it fails, you have to wait for it to try again - there is no update now feature. There is no way to download the most current version - it has to attempt to check for the update on its own. There is no way to shut off the camera in software (you have to unplug it if you don't trust your software), and there is no light on the camera to indicate that it is active.
Fantastic quality & performance. Small enough to not impact screen visibility. Highly recommend!
It’s still miles ahead of the Poly P15 perched on top of my screen showing the top of my head. By sitting back a little and tilting the iContact back side of the camera to the monitor it’s close to centering me in the frame.
I have been working virtually for decades, and virtually with video for 8 years. Since I started video, I have had a camera on a tripod sitting on top of two boxes in front of my screen. This brought me "eye-to-eye" with those I was meeting with. No more! With my iContact Camera, the tripod, camera, and boxes of business cards are put away. My view of others is eye-to-eye and unhindered. And when not on camera, my entire screen is unobscured. Thank you!
Video works fine - no telling yet if the visual engagement is noticed. Have had to switch audio back to my computer as I had complaints of poor audio from several participants in Teams meetings .
The arm with the camera does not come down to a full 90 degrees. It needs about another 1/4 inch.
I'm using the camera with a 27inch imac. This means the length of the drop down camera could be further but it's still a lot better than where it was.
I am loving the ability to hide the camera when not in use and also use the app to correct the color, brightness, etc. I do wish the app could turn on the light panel but it is a great space saver to have it on top of the camera.
Works great and makes a huge difference. Wish it had a privacy option and that the wand the camera is on was height adjustable.
The camera is easy to set up, and video quality and mic are pretty good too. The arm the camera is in is a bit flimsy, it’s annoying there’s no light when the camera is in use though.
Really loving the pro camera with light panel. I work in an office with not the best lighting and on a big monitor where my previous camera had me always looking down and to the side. This camera has me more engaged in calls and looking my best.
Before this I have trouble in forever relocating my camera to get the best position for all situations. iContact gives me worry free since it right level with my eyes and in front of me all the time.
Received the PTO camera and light panel. Took a day or two to find the time to unbox. Beautifully packaged. Easy to put together and had no issue getting it to work on my Windows PC. Have not used it a lot yet. My ‘test’ call to a friend told me I looked luminous! Took a wee bit (like a minute) to figure out how to dim the light panel (of course, I could have read the accompanying manual and figured it out in a heartbeat but where’s the sense of adventure in that??). So far, so good. It is a sturdier mechanism than the original (which I backed on Kickstarter) and I believe it will hold up quite well. Love that I can flip it out of the way if needed. So far in my limited use case, have not had to do that.
I was skeptical. Very skeptical. Oh my gosh! This product is awesome. Super fast delivery, easy unboxing, plug and play, and such a good picture. I purchased the Light Panel. It makes me look so good no filter needed. Thank you IContact!
