Get different viewing angles, different image sizes and different scene areas for your requirements. Please note: No tripod or bracket in the package, but can be connected to the mount with 1/4-20 UNC hole Make sure you connect the webcam directly to your computer, not to a USB hub. USB hubs are often too weak to power a webcam. If the voltage on the USB port is unstable, so the image flashes or has the colour lines. Please replace the computer or USB port. For the desktop, it is recommended that customers use the USB interface on the back of the computer to ensure stability will be better. It is plug and play type, so it does not come with a CD. You just need to connect the camera to your computer, then you can create video or recording with WEBCAM software such as zoom. Wait a few minutes when you connect the device for the first time. Then the driver is detected and installed Please do not open multiple camera apps/software for simultaneous use. Otherwise, the camera shows Porbleme and solution 1) Sweeps when moving the camera - Please note that the USB port is loose or not 2) Absolutely poor image quality - This is a true 8 megapixel USB camera, but the default resolution in factory settings is not 2160P. Therefore, please use the Amcap or other webcam software to adjust the resolution 3) Image is far too dark despite setting - Please use the USB camera in an environment with good lighting conditions ELP 2MP Wide Angle 2.8-12 mm Variable Focus Manual Lens Mini Camera 1080P USB Computer Web Camera This camera is 8MP with Sony IMX179 sensor. If this sensor is equipped with a 5-50mm Vario zoom camera lens, color spots or color differences in the picture may occur. This is particularly clear on a bright background Please use an 8MP/5MP USB camera with the QuickTime software on the Mac. Do not recommend using Facetime or Photo Booth or Zoom software for 8MP and 5MP USB cameras on Mac. If you have ordered a 5MP05G or 8MP02G model and identify on the PC but have a black screen on your Mac, please contact the ELP seller via your order number. We help you update the system and are therefore ok

Review: Take control - This is a hard review to write. I've decided to give it 5 stars throughout because it does what it's supposed to. But it's not without faults. The primary fault is that it doesn't deliver its advertised 8k imagery without a lot of intervention, and the resulting images are not useful because the format seems to be incompatible with recording software so the results are distorted to match my screen. As other reviewers have mentioned, the colour is poorly saturated, necessitating a lot of configuration in post. The lens is very basic indeed as one might expect at this price point. There is about 90 degrees of rotation in the focus ring. But that's not your range of focus. It's needed because the range of focus at the long end of the zoom is in a very different place to the focus at the wide end. So zooming while recording is not possible, it would throw the focus wildly off. And there is no possibility of auto focus since there is no link from photo sensor to the lens mount. But, for £80 what is reasonable to expect? This is clearly a specialist product offering manual control over a USB camera. If you want a logitech then by all means go that way. But if you want to be in control.....
Review: Good zoom lens for distance. - We are now live streaming our Church services via Zoom. We already had a camera which showed about half of the front of the church. This was bought as a second camera for close up shots of the person preaching. The telephoto is good, the camera, sitting on the sound desk at the back of the church, can be zoomed in to give a good close up shot of the speaker at the lectern. The zoom and focus are very sensitive, it takes some fiddling to get it just right. The colour is hugely inferior to our other low priced but fixed lens camera. A little pricey but, overall a decent solution to our needs.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the cable length**
A: 3 meters

**Q: Does the camera have a microphone built in?**
A: These are industrial cameras so they don't have a microphone

**Q: Hi, can this camera be used to gather images every certain period? e.g. every 20 mins. which software does it use? some sdk?**
A: the camera itself can not do this, you will need some driver software. I am using with raspberry pi plus self written python scripts and it would be very easy to take a image every 20 seconds

**Q: Hi, can this camera be used to gather images every certain period? e.g. every 20 mins. which software does it use? some sdk?**
A: It's a USB camera so any software that can attach to a USB camera. I use it with opencv.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Works well on Linux and manual lens is fun. But colours are off!
*by F***R on 26 July 2020*

The good: * zoom lens allows you to adjust what is visible if you use this camera for video calls * you can get nice blurry backgrounds if you open up the aperture * you can get quite close up images with the lens * you can replace he lens * works out-of-the box under Linux The bad: * colours are under-saturated and washed out (see picture of reference chart vs what it should look like) * a center circle is more yellowish (seen also in other review) * it do not think it is the lens, because I could the same effect without lens and with photo camera lens * I tried painting the inside of the vamera black (covering brass elements, etc.) to exclude any weird reflections, but did not help * unclear what is causing this; maybe the the filter glass on the sensor?? TLDR; good if you want a manual lens to play with, but it is a no-go if you care a lot about colour Model review: ELP-USB8MP02G-SFV
