C950 4K Webcam

My Switch 2 set up is roughly 18 feet from my television, which makes Nintendo’s default camera nearly unusable due to the distance. I have seen others ask the same question about what camera to use for long distance and I can confirm that 4K cameras that work are much better than Nintendo’s 1080p camera. You can see a noticeable difference when you zoom in. I’m using the EMEET C950 4K Webcam (8MP) from this list. I would assume that a compatible 4K WebCam at a higher megapixel would work even better. I would be very interested to see what others discover. TL;DR 4K cameras work better for long distance shots.

I tried two more cameras. I also got the Cheap $10 Toucan and it works fine for me (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DDK5WRDZ?ref=ppx\_yo2ov\_dt\_b\_fed\_asin\_title&th=1). They have apparently found out they are popular with switch people and the price has gone up to $16. LOL I also tried the $34 EMEET C950 4K Webcam and it works fine as well. (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D7VD5SMS?ref=ppx\_yo2ov\_dt\_b\_fed\_asin\_title&th=1). This is a 4k webcam which I bought before I saw this post and I assumed it wouldn't work based on all other 4k webcams failing. It does however work fine with autofocus and everything. Honestly the picture on this one is much better than the other web cams I have tried and I would recommend it. I'm not sure there is any 4k getting into the system. On the camera test page it looks like 720p (?) max? So higher resolutions may not matter. If I get time later this week I might write up a review with some pictures.

I got a $18 one on Amazon recommended by WGU… EMEET C950 1080P Webcam - USB Webcam with Microphone & Physical Privacy Cover, Noise-Canceling Mic, Auto Light Correction, Fixed Focus, Ultra Web Cam w/ 70°View for Meeting/Online Classes/Zoom/YouTube

I just completed all the classes and got capstone left. But I didn’t need anything else, the proctor just needs to see bothe your hands and front and back of your laptop. This was was good for tilt, and I don’t need it for anything else

I bought the FCP about 6 months ago and love it. Yes, it produces a somewhat grainy image in low light, but what camera doesn't? I am new to streaming/video producing, but not to photography. The image quality in normal lighting is very good, and I think the features through the Camera Hub software are great. For a second POV, I use an inexpensive Emeet 4K webcam. Changing filter might be nice, but so far unnecessary. The Facecam 4K might do the trick at a lower cost, but I don't have a side-by-side comparison. I have no regrets with the FCP.

You can grab a emeet 4k and zoom in and out. Quality is good too for aroun $50 has a Sony sensor as well. Another option the Elgato facecam 4k. If your wanting the mirrored vibe go with a Sony a6000 cheap second hand market is affordable. You will need a dummy battery for any camera you choose

Emeet 4k the one that looks like a tube on Amazon or TikTok works amazing and good in low light I used it on mine
