The Pro Webcam from DVDO uses a 1/2.7" CMOS sensor and resolutions up to 1080p to capture video with smooth motion at 25 or 30 fps. A built-in mic help ensure that your voice is center stage, while a wide 120° horizontal field of view creates a suitable image area. Other features include 2D and 3D digital noise reduction, backlight compensation, and auto or manual white balance. The Pro Webcam can also work in low light environments with a minimal illumination of 0.5 lux with auto gain control turned on. Compatible with Windows and Android, this webcam connects to your host system using an integrated USB 2.0 Type-A cable. It may be mounted using its bracket and damper to monitors with a thickness of less than 6.7".
