Amcrest AWC2198 1080P Webcam 30fps 90° USB 2.0

1080p Webcam for Calls and Streaming

The Amcrest AWC2198 delivers full-HD 1080p video at 30 frames per second through a USB 2.0 connection. A 3.6mm lens provides a 90° field of view suitable for solo calls or small-group meetings. Dual built-in microphones use a 3D noise-reduction algorithm to capture clear audio in busy rooms. A sliding privacy cover blocks the lens when the camera is not in use.

Upgrade from Basic Laptop Cameras

Integrated laptop webcams often max out at 720p and lack dedicated noise-cancelling microphones. This model adds 1080p resolution, a wider 90° angle and dual mics that suppress background sound. The jump is worth it for anyone who runs daily video conferences, records tutorials or streams to platforms that ingest H.264, MJPEG or YUV streams. Compatibility spans Windows, macOS and Android with apps such as Zoom, Skype and YouTube.

Sustained Use Behaviour

The CMOS sensor maintains auto white balance during long sessions so colour stays consistent as room lighting shifts. H.264 compression keeps CPU load modest during extended broadcasts or recordings. The six-foot USB cable allows flexible placement without signal degradation. At 0.41 lbs the unit remains stable on a monitor mount or tripod for hours of continuous operation.
