Really easy set-up, works well. Picture and sound quality not great for the price.
Bought in lockdown when I needed a cheap webcam. Couldn’t find any, so had to pay £69.99 for this. If I’d got this webcam for 25 quid I’d be saying what a great value for money unit this is. In actual fact it’s rather overpriced for the quality of picture and sound. On the plus side, it worked straight out of the box on my ageing windows 10 PC. Set up was easy and it works seamlessly with Zoom, Skype, Teams etc. So it basically does what I got it for.However picture quality isn’t great. The image lacks sharpness and the dynamic range is rubbish. Meaning that any bright parts of the image often end up being washed out. Sound is not much better. Yes the person on the other end can hear me, but my sound is tinny.In summary, if you want a webcam that seems reliable and easy to use, then I can recommend this one. Quality isn’t great, but I note that the price (at the time of writing) has dropped to £50. Still a bit too much for what you get, but not as bad.

Higher resolution but low quality
Like a lot of people I'm doing a lot more video calling and wanted to update my old webcam. This had some good reviews and was reasonably priced and at 1080p it was a significant upgrade in terms of resolution But, 15 minutes after plugging it in, I've decided to go back to my old camera.One of the selling points for this is the wide camera angle, but you might want to think carefully about whether you need this, I certainly should have paid attention. It's fine if you want to get a lot of people on screen, I suppose, but for home use it's not so good - if there's just you in the shot you'll find yourself a bit swamped by the wide angle (and you might not want that much of your house on show) and the picture has a slightly "fish-eyed" feel.I also found the quality of the picture to be very harsh - with very sharp contrast between light and dark areas - and quite noisy even in brightly-lit settings.And the microphone is not very good either - with a distinct hiss and sibilance that wasn't caught on two other microphones (or my old camera).So, a disappointing buy - it works and the specs are as advertised - but the quality wasn't good and the very wide-angle lens won't be bonus for everyone.

Impressive VIDEO camera, BUT TRULY DREADFUL AUDIO .
I was surprised by how small the camera was! Only about 35mm in diameter & less than 70mm long.Whilst on my Windows 10 (64Bit) PC, the Drivers loaded automatically off the web, it was necessary to visit the AUSDOM web site to download the camera's ".exe" set up file (without which you will see no camera output signal).The default settings on this program were fine for a reasonable picture in good light, and doubtless images could be refined using the control menu if required. This is a manual focus camera, so you will need to twist the front ring to optimise for sharpest output, which is really quite crisp when adjusted with the camera set for the 1920 HD standard (1080P).There is dreadfully muffled audio too, which was low level and bass heavy by default. (See post script below!)My requirement was simply for Video Conferencing by Zoom, and was hopeful this AusDom AW615 would perform adequately for this purpose, and be a VAST improvement on my Laptop's internal set up.The wideangle lens performance seems excellent for the price, but the camera is clearly a 'low cost' unit as the monitor clamping arrangement, and the tilt mount for the camera are very much budget priced ~ and perform in this regard! Still the USB cable is a couple of metres long, which should make positioning the camera practical in most situations.NOTE: I did find that the camera's relatively heavy power drain loading caused intermittent 'Black Flashing' when used on one particular USB port on my PC, but this was resolved when the camera was used on a different USB port.PostScript:It has proved TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE to adjust the audio output either for clarity or level. The root cause of this is the fact that the mini-electoret microphone is hidden INSIDE the camera body, without any acoustic port for the audio to 'get' to the microphone ~ no wonder the audio is bass-heavy, muffled and very low level. A total DESIGN FARCE in fact, so I have demoted this review to only ONE STAR! I have an electronic engineering background, and I have removed the (soldered in) PCB mounted internal microphone capsule, and replaced it with a mini-swan neck cardiod response mic designed for Intercom applications which has been mounted via a hole drilled in the mic's plastic top cover.A professional-level bodge, but it still looks OK,AND it works and sounds VERY much better!This has cured the muffled and low level audio and made the Unit now fit for the intended purposeIn the light of this audio nonsense THERE IS NO WAY I CAN NOW RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT!!!

Good for the money
Its not amazing - but its a good camera for the lower middle price range and is easy to set up.Worth getting if you need a camera that doesn't need to be uber professional - so for friends and family or remote working - probably only for internal business use - it wouldn't give a great impression for external clients. - worth getting - but avoid if you want to make content for youtube etc of a high standard.

Great wide-angle view!
Bought as a replacement for an older Ausdom webcam (used as a surveillance camera), this model is even better, as the field of view is 50% wider! It has good auto-exposure, and works well in low light conditions.The older model suffered from temperature changes affecting the focus, but this one seems to have overcome that.
