Review: NexiGo N970P 4K Webcam: A Brief Comparison to the Logitech BRIO and NexiGo N960E FHD WebcamsDisclosure statement: While no bias was intended for this review, I cannot rule out its possibility. The primary reason I am writing this review is because I joined the NexiGo Product Trial Program. As an incentive for writing an “honest, unbiased review” (words chosen in NexiGo’s emailed instructions to me), NexiGo will reimburse me for the cost of the N970P (which I bought on sale at Amazon for $169.99). That said, I believe this to be a fairly objective review.I have been (and continue to be) a HUGE Logitech fan because of the unparalleled quality of their keyboards, mice, and webcams. In fact, I am writing this review using a Logitech K380 wireless keyboard and the MX Master 3 mouse. Both are fantastic. And recently I achieved a pretty significant goal of saving up sufficient money to purchase a laptop with the computing power large enough to handle the Logitech BRIO webcam. (My previous laptops would quickly freeze up when tasked with handling the processing of the BRIO.) That day was special and was similar to the phenomenon of upscaling my TV signal from the grainy non-digital antenna signal to digital HD.Well, that day was somehow eventually improved upon in early May of 2022 when I sifted through Amazon’s webcam offerings and came across a brand of webcams I had never heard of - the Nexigo. At the time I was quite happy with my BRIO webcam. The only reason I bought the NexiGo N960E FHD webcam was to see how superior the BRIO was to this new competitor. Note that this is not the webcam of central focus in this review. But when I received the N960E and plugged it in and noted how VERY close it performed next to the BRIO, my interest in the NexiGo brand was established. When I came across an invitation to try other Nexigo devices, I jumped at the opportunity but had no expectation of gaining entry to this program. But on May 19th when I somehow qualified for testing, I was afforded the opportunity to try the N970P 4K Webcam, which appeared to be the big, big brother of my N960E webcam. All I had to do was buy it off of Amazon, write a review, and get reimbursed after proving I had bought the webcam and written a review. Here is a brief summary of my experience with the NexiGo N970P thus far…Upon unpacking the N970P, I was most affected by its monstrous size, at least when compared to the BRIO. It is roughly the same height as the BRIO at about 1 inch, it is nearly double the length (7” vs 4”) and 2 times deeper (1 and ¾” vs 1”) than the BRIO. And it is HEAVY. I had some initial concern of placing it atop my new laptop, but this fear was abated when I manipulated its super-sturdy attached monitor stand. I thought for sure its ponderous size would translate to unwieldy weight distributions which would cause it to drop from my razor thin Samsung Notebook with high frequency. It has not fallen once, and I do not think it has anything to do with Samsung. I’m no physicist, but the N970P just seems to be weighted correctly. It may be huge, but it is just as agile as the BRIO.The next thing I noticed about the N970P occurred when I plugged it in. I felt like I had installed a mirror to my laptop, because its clarity of detail and wide field of view was just as good as the reflection provided by my wall mirror that sits adjacent to my computer desk. The mirror comparison may sound weird, but I am telling you, I was blown away by both the camera and video quality of this webcam. In fact, this experience was closer in overall effect of first experiencing HD over standard definition in TVs than my initial experience with the BRIO.My methodology for this review was simple. I compared 3 webcams: the NexiGo N970P 4K, the Logitech BRIO, and my first NexiGo, the N960E FHD. I simply positioned each camera in identical positions around my room and noted which had the best video quality (each video was about 5 seconds each). I varied the positions by distance from me and height off the ground. That was it. Hey, they said I just had to write a review so I think I did ok, having never done one of these. It doesn’t even matter because the results were clear from the get-go. Regardless of distance or height, the N970P outperformed the other 2 webcams. I mean, the BRIO came close a couple times, but not once did it look better based on these 2 parameters. I mean it looked GOOD. But the NexiGo N970P captures reality better than any other web camera I have experienced. So, that’s it, friends. That’s my review. I hope you got something from it that will inform your decision on your next webcam purchase. In practice I keep all 3 webcams hooked and ready to go, but when I need the best shot, I alternate between the BRIO and the N970P 4K. I find myself going with the N970P with more frequency than the BRIO. Both are really good.

I bought this camera so that I could turn on Windows Hello on some PCs to make sign on easier for the users. For the price I am very happy with how well the camera works. The camera has a visual shutter so you can tell when it is recording and when it is private. With Windows 11 I just plugged it into to USB3 port and it was immediately recognized and the driver loaded. Windows Hello recognized it as compatible for face identity. It works well with Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Webex. I even have it working decently with OBS. The microphone is OK but I prefer to use either a headset or a XLR microphone for the best sound quality and background noise reduction. I think I like this camera better than most of the Logitech Cameras.

I got this in 2024 for my laptop because the fingerprint login was so bad I gave up on using it. I also planned on using it as a webcam on my linux desktop even though it doesn't support Windows Hello. Connected it up and it couldn't be detected on the laptop. After troubleshooting with their support, I ended up returning it.Gave it another try in 2025 as I replaced that laptop with a Surface Pro and I also replaced the linux desktop with a Windows 11 desktop because it was 5 years old and MS Teams is extremely buggy on it (not Linux fault, obviously). I really like how fast Windows Hello works on the Surface Pro (almost on par with FaceID) and I really wanted that same experience on the Windows desktop. I had been struggling with a Kodak webcam that supports Windows Hello but it works only 50% of the time and it requires me to always be 3 feet away and hold my head in a specific angle for it to work.This 2nd Nexigo webcam works immediately with the new desktop and it is so much better at face detection than the Kodak webcam. It still a tad slower than Microsoft Surface Pro, but it is working well enough that I don't have to move farther back like I did with the Kodak webcam. Quality is actually only on par with the Kodak webcam, but my main reason for upgrade is Windows Hello and this is doing exactly what I need.

Had been procratinating purchasing a ‘Hello’ camera, but now that I did, I am very greatful. It is really nice to not have to produce my password so often. The camera is smart where it auto opens/closes it’s lens shutter so to protect privacy. I did have some inititial installation issues, but such seemed to go away after a reboot.

This actually works really well very impressed with it. Which quality is good it’s a bill to read. Your face is good. Definitely deserves five stars for the price and quality.

I had a webcam for work at my home office, but it could not be used for facial recognition to log in. Therefore, I was looking for a replacement. I settled on this one. It works great with comparable quality to more expensive cameras. It works with Windows Hello, which is the feature I needed and it works great for that purpose.
