Gigaware Webcam - Tech Review
Tech Support Gone Bad
Hey YouTube, it’s Tech Support Gone Ban and today I’m going to be doing a review of this Gigaware Webcam.
Now, I did an unboxing video of this webcam about a month ago and ever since then I’ve been trying to check out as many of the features that I can and say, I’m willing to be, just telling you all the features and the pros and cons of the webcam in this video.
So let’s start with the cons of the webcam. Well there are a lot of them, so on the cover of the box, it says Auto Focus, like it’s such a good thing right. But with this webcam, it really isn’t. Like, with the webcam when I’m recording with it or I’m doing my live shows with it, the slightest move, like I’ll just move like this and it will need to refocus itself.
Now you might think that’s a good, yes, it wants us to save, it wants to have the quality of the video as the highest as it can. But it would be a good thing but the response time of the Auto Focus is very, very slow. So it will stay blurry for a really long time and then it will focus.
So let’s say, if I put my hands on the camera like this and then I put it back, the image like will stay blurry for a really, really long time and like literally like 5 minutes later that’s when the Auto Focus will kick in and it’ll finally go back to being normal. And sometimes it doesn’t even kick in at all, for example, 1 time I was doing a live show and I forgot what I was showing but I had to show it up close the camera and I went back in and the whole image was really, really blurry. And it didn’t auto focus and I have to actually stop broadcasting live and then go back broadcasting live for it to actually have the same quality I’ve been had in the first place.
So that’s for the Auto Focus. Another it says on the box is Face Tracking Function, like such good thing. But again it really isn’t, I tried the Face Tracking Function ones and thank god it was on live show. I tried it while cleaning out my laptop, I was trying to mess some of the features it has and really it, just it was horrible and that the feature showing would be on the webcam.
And yes, but those are the main cons of the webcam, the price, the face tracking function and the auto focus, it’s just unnecessary features.
And so let’s go to the pros of the webcam. Well first of all, it looks really nice, it has a, it just has an aluminum finished, chrome finished I would say. It looks nice, so that’s a plus, also with, it does come in with a built in mic and the quality is great. I’m not going to lie, two mega pixels for the video and eight mega pixels for still images.
The quality is pretty good and it also comes with a built in mic. But that’s pretty much it for the pros. It looks nice, the quality is good, sometimes, the quality is good when, when the auto zoom or auto focus is working correctly and yes, it comes with a built in mic.
But that is my review for the Gigaware webcam. Over all, in all, if I was to give this webcam let’s say stars, 5 being the highest, I will give it a 3, 2 1/2, 3.
I didn’t really like it that much. If I had the chance to return, I would. Again, it’s not really worth the price but the quality is great. I can’t lie about that.
But yes, that is the review for this Gigaware webcam. I hope you guys enjoyed this webcam and I hope it’s not too late, if you're thinking about buying the webcam, don’t.
So until next time, I’ll see you guys later.
