Webcam: 2021 Webcam Melcam FHD 1080P Streaming Webcam with Ring Light
Rating: Awful (1 out of 5)
Date:

Advantages of the webcam:
It works, with some fiddling. Under $50 on Amazon.

Disadvantages of the webcam:
Usable raw resolution is only 640x480. Low frame rate (20 fps) on highest resolution MJPEG stream (1920x1080).

Author’s comment:
Petty poorly designed, clearly the result of botched reverse engineering. Pretty much every advertised claim for this device was a lie.
