Anker - PowerConf C200

I have [this one.](https://us.ankerwork.com/products/a3369) works great. I use it for virtual meetings and streaming from my pc. It comes in pretty clear even in a dark room. I usually only have the light from my tv that my pc is plugged into and the rgb lights on the back of it on when I have been streaming.

I use an Anker PowerConf C200 Absolutely huge but adjustable field of view, excellent image quality (when I full screen my board I can basically read my cards). Doesn't need excessive lights to look good - my set up is infront or a window with blinds so I can often angle natural light fairly easily for a good image, however even with a desk lamp or over head light in the evening it looks great. It also has a directional microphone which is pretty good at ignoring background noise so I also use it as a mic. It definitely needs a camera arm though, the mechanism for attaching it to a monitor doesn't really allow it to look straight down.

i used to run 3 logitech c920 webcams (face, overhead and 3d printer view) but now i'm running dual anker c200 webcams on obs. here's an example of the stream quality with some diffused lighting. the ONLY reason i switched to the anker webcams is because for some reason, my computer just stopped being able to detect the webcams. it wasn't a webcam issue since they worked on other computers, so it was software-related. the anker webcams turned out to be great so i'm extremely satisfied with those over the logitech, just a little pricier ($20-30 extra for brand new over the cost of the c920 used).

The anker c200 is pretty good.

Anker C200 used on amazon for ~$50 is your best bet.

I got the Anker PowerConf C200.

Anker C200 2k (also 4k version). It gets the job done and sit nicely on my monitor light bar.

I’m using the Anker C200 2k (comes in 4k also) for both Teams and Zoom, and haven’t had any issue for both video and audio. It’s a compact size and sit nicely on top of my monitor light bar.

I have the Anker C200 and it's is an awesome camera. Way better than the Logitech series in my experience. I will occasionally use it and a 920 for a 2 cam setup if it's what I need for the Stream but the C200 looks way better.

I just got the Anker PowerConf C200 and it's an awesome 2k camera. I have several other Logitech ones and the Anker is by far better and easier to configure than the Logitechs which are easy as it is. Price point was just under $60 USD on Amazon if you can spare the extra $10.

I got an Anker PowerConf C200 camera and it is way better than the Logitech cameras. It has 2k instead of just 1080p and uses a tripod or clips like almosy every other webcam out there. It is a smaller point visually than the wide framed c920 and was plug and play like all the others. I found the color to be better with it and the image sharper with less need to focus it manually, it does so very well by itself. It seems to be a lot better at capturing the movement better as well. Maybe check it out, it's the same price as the Logitech ones currently.

Elgato and Razer will cost a bit more because of their name. I went from a logitech C920x ($70) to an Anker PowerConf C200 ($50) and have been happier with it. The most important thing you can do is get your lighting set up right and consistent.

If you've got MXA920 money, then you've got real camera money. BUT I get how life in a classroom is, so all I'll say is that while I love the Logi c930 series, it's ancient and the [Anker C200](https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerConf-Microphones-Adjustable-Correction/dp/B09MFMTMPD/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3DUGZFURJ0FXP&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.tUAhxKJagXivZHSqLu7QwkRpIg_O63Ue2Dn63KLxHA0sOpxnGdQ_WPcJrMya5y7YIGhaq3jv8F6XouNJazhSZ0NeJNEe92SvRudcPyqsfGTLdlPf7TJKW7Q8WBttm-Rb5abqmiYbmdjx0kOtOi2QX1p6wg0JGPoQD7J9ePy6mlacvBcmRcrLMTEHwkoNWs1-r115uiuL9Gq-eccaBQNqNxgyxAZiECdS3FAkCih24COfSNtN2_g7dWYsvF5GsoK56o7n4PSxbwZP3vYUI25KKsNOKL7XmIoHhByi64WozS9xXh9pKOd1skYmytQXYBi_pJJFzjUp0Qr59JiAHZOE5D_nPBih8QlEIaSVTi14XG0.0_iu4QfaMnNhzupiOTSm1RYpgFwAMaWeCj275sf9osE&dib_tag=se&keywords=anker+c200&qid=1741227970&s=electronics&sprefix=anker+c200%2Celectronics%2C146&sr=1-3) is a much better camera in my opinion.

Higher resolution and framerate, intuitive integrated privacy cover, decent driver, form factor w/ 1/4-20 mount, price is right, and I trust Anker's support more than most brands in the consumer space. This video was fairly objective comparison to one of the other front runners, the Brio (which is *not* as good as it should be IMO).

Anker PowerConf C200 * Wide lens angle * Threaded base for use on a tripod * Cable is a USB C that plugs into the back. This is really nice because I can just use the same long cable I typically charge my phone with instead of buying a USB extender I'll never use again. * Cat can't ruin the camera by chewing through the cable

The image from my Anker C200 is quite nice! I normally have the best quality in the room by bounds. https://a.co/d/0672zfO

Second the anker c200. They get a heavy discount a few times a year as well.

After reading your post I still don't know what kind of expectations you have exactly, but I can recommend the Anker PowerConf C200 2K because this is the one I have and I really like it so far + it's not that expensive. There's the C310 4K too but idk if it's worth it. Those would still be a cheaper option though, there are many good webcams for streaming (as far as I heard from others) for example: Logitech Brio, Elgato FACECAM & FACECAM MK.2 and some more I probably forgot about. Also, if you want to spend a little more or have a compatible camera already, just get the Elgato CamLink and a more affordable DSLR (idk which one is good for cheap but you could probably find some if you search)

I use the Anker PowerConf C200, about $60 USD on Amazon. Works great, it also includes a microphone, you definitely need to disable that in OBS.
