If you only need a webcam for relatively mundane situations, such as zoom calls (etc.), then you probably don’t want to spend a lot of money. In this case, models like the eMeet C960 offer good value for money while still offering a decent range of specifications. The eMeet C960 is a fairly basic camera, capable of Full HD (1080p) video recording. That should be enough for software like Zoom, Skype, Microsoft Teams, etc., but might fall a bit short for those looking for something for vlogging or live streaming of demanding content. For these types of users, we would recommend dedicated vlogging cameras. With a 90-degree field of view, the eMeet C960 offers a nice wide view of the scene. This can be more useful than a narrow field of view if you’re presenting something to the camera or want to give more context to where you’re sitting – it could also be useful if more than one of you is in the meeting. The camera has two built-in omnidirectional microphones with noise cancellation, so you don’t need to invest in a separate microphone – good news. The listed operating systems compatible with the eMeet C960 are Windows (XP, Vista and 7/8/8.1 and 10) and Mac (OS 10.4 or later). Installing the eMeet C960 is very easy thanks to the “plug-and-play” method. All you have to do is plug it into your computer’s USB port and it should be recognized immediately. Please note that it is a USB-A port. So if you are using a computer without such a port, you will need an adapter. The cable is permanently connected to the webcam, so you can’t replace it either. The eMeet C960 is fixed horizontally, but at the bottom there is a foot with a small stand that allows you to easily lift the camera or place it on a monitor or similar. You can also tilt the camera up and down. There is a tripod thread, so you can also attach the camera to a tripod and position it exactly how you need it. Alternatively, you can place the webcam on a flat surface, such as a table or shelf.
