No matter if you're a business professional taking meetings, a vlogger who is streaming, or an e-sports enthusiast, the PTZOptics Webcam 80 V2 excels at video conferencing and live streaming. Upgraded with an app-based OSD, it features a resolution of up to Full HD 1080p, auto focus, and frame rates of up to 30 fps to deliver crisp video with smooth motion. Dual beamforming mics help ensure your voice is center stage, while an 80° horizontal field of view creates a suitable image area. Details are further enhanced by a 1.5 to 8x digital zoom. An LED indicator illuminates when the camera is in use and, when the camera is not in use, you can safeguard your privacy using the included privacy cover. The camera can be further fine-tuned using digital pan, tilt, and zoom controls.
