This segment is great for those who want to stay connected and not overpay for excess. The following models are connected to your computer via USB-port, can provide the minimum necessary conditions for comfortable communication and do not break the wallet.
BLUELANS 97977
Best ergonomics. Convenient focus
Rating (2022): 4.6
The BLUELANS 9797777 is a typical Chinese entry level webcam. Inside the body is a CMOS-sensor, which provides video capture in 640*480 pixels and at up to 30 fps. The focal length is from 8mm and up to infinity. The lens gives a fairly bright picture in low light. The device connects to your computer via a USB port. Once connected to the PC you do not need to install any software, all settings are made automatically.
In our review this camera is the most convenient. But still this device is designed for undemanding users. The webcam will be the best choice for those who use telephony, but are not ready to pay for better video quality. It is not suitable for streaming.
BENTOBEN HD 1080P
Inexpensive model with two microphones
Rating (2022): 4.6
Inexpensive webcam for video calls, distance learning, meetings and conferences. It is possible to output video up to 1080P resolution. The sensor is announced 2MP, which is a big doubt. The picture of this device is really not bad, but the graining is present, especially when viewed on a large monitor. Smoothness of the picture is better – it affects the frequency of 30 frames / sec.
The model is equipped with autofocus, but it does not always work perfectly. Microphones there are two, their sensitivity is high – at a distance of about 3 meters to hear well, but with a noise reduction webcams creators have not worked. In reviews, customers praise the automatic exposure correction – even in low light webcam pulls the picture to a good quality. In general – the model is not the most outstanding, but for home use it is enough.
PEGATAH U2 /U3/U8
The best price for a camera with 720P resolution
Rating (2022): 4.7
Don’t expect too much from this webcam – it’s just a good ultra-budget with a price tag under $10. The device is sold on Aliexpress in several modifications. The cheapest model has a resolution of 720P, manual focus adjustment and built-in microphone. More advanced options have got autofocus, high resolution, which, however, does not hold up to the real 4K, and various useful plushkas in the form of accessories.
The vendor has models with ring lamps, omnidirectional microphones, and tripod mounts. The tripod itself can also be ordered separately. All webcams rotate 360 degrees and have a good viewing angle – the claimed 130 degrees are present here. The picture is obtained without any annoying graininess, there is a possibility to adjust brightness through software. The downsides are flaws with white balance, large size and low sound quality.
CENTECHIA For Live Broadcast Video
The most inexpensive
Rating (2022): 4.8
This lot is for those who have a need for a webcam for video calls, but don’t want to spend a lot of money to purchase one. The cheapest webcam is only capable of shooting video at 480P resolution. If this option is not suitable, you can add a few hundred and buy a camera with 720P or 2K resolution from the same seller on AlieXpress. All modifications have good autofocus and microphone.
Mounting – the usual clothespin. Holds it well. Adjustments are minimal – the camera can only be tilted up or down, there is no rotating mechanism. The picture is high contrast and too dark at the factory settings. All this can be corrected by the software settings. However, there is an unpleasant thing – the webcam does not save the changes you have made. You have to do it all over again after disconnecting the camera or rebooting your computer.
OREY Webcam 1080p
Top seller on Aliexpress
Rating (2022): 4.9
Budget webcam with good resolution and good data transfer rate. The model is suitable for video calls and streaming. It is attached to the monitor with a clothespin. A set of controls is modest – you can adjust the tilt angle and rotation. There is no zoom and viewing angle is not adjustable. What will make users happy is the autofocus. This webcam is very fast and hits with almost no misses. It has a function of changing the background which is not very common in this price segment.
I can connect it easily. The webcam pulls up the drivers by itself and makes all the settings automatically. There are no claims to the sound itself but you will have to tinker with it. The camera itself is not dismountable, so you can not see what is inside it. On the whole, it is a decent product for its money. It is actively purchased on AlieXpress. To date – more than 21 thousand sales.
This segment is becoming more demanding on system resources, but in return provides an acceptable quality of recording. The standard is already 30 frames per second – the minimum necessary to play a smooth picture, anything less causes discomfort. The following products are leaders on Aliexpress due to their capabilities and adequate price.
KKMOON Usb Webcam
The highest quality microphone
Rating (2022): 4.6
KKMOON inspires confidence just by its appearance: an oval body with embossed patterns, a large lens and a strong clamp to place it on the screen of a laptop. The device rotates 360° horizontally and 30° vertically. The dimensions of the camera – 50*28 mm, the height together with the stand is 53 mm. One of the advantages of this model was quality sound-absorbing microphone which picks up the voice even at a distance of 10 meters from the camera. The lens here is also not bad, there is automatic color correction and white balance. Autofocus is not provided, it will have to be adjusted manually.
The weakest point of KKMOON is video: the frequency is only 15 frames per second. Because of this the image is not smooth enough. For calls, streaming or conferences the webcam is enough, but it is not possible to record high-quality material (lectures, video blogs). Despite this, the device is regularly ordered and praised in reviews on AliExpress.
ASHU H800.
The most popular model at Aliexpress
Rating (2022): 4.6
For quite a modest amount of money you can get the coveted Full HD quality. This webcam has a small size and easily fits in the palm of your hand. Nevertheless, it is recommended to pick up a bigger monitor for it, otherwise it will stand out a lot. As for the body, it easily collects fingerprints and dust.
It takes pictures quite well. The desired resolution can be set with the built-in Windows tools, but as such, it is only available in the “Photos-Quality” subsection. To create additional lighting uses 4 lamps built into the body. Their operation is optional and is controlled via a toggle switch on the back of the camera. We recommend using them at night, as the effect is hardly noticeable during the day. At the same time they strongly blind the eyes. The clip itself is quite flimsy and you have to install H800 carefully. It has no 360 degree rotation. The quality of the microphone recording leaves much to be desired and is suitable only for Skype communication.
ASHU H701 1080p
Optimal price performance ratio
Rating (2022): 4.7
Relatively inexpensive webcam with full HD video quality and a lens shutter. You can close the shutter and not have to worry about the camera streaming video without you wanting to. Everything is very well made. The eye-catching quality plastic, perfect fit of the details and the absence of the notorious “Chinese” smell pleases. There is a tripod connector on the body. Not for nothing the brand has one of the best reputations on AliExpress. The product is worth its money.
In the reviews a lot is written about the sensitivity of the microphone: even at a distance of 2-3 meters it picks up the voice. However, with noise cancellation is not smooth – in addition to the voice will be heard and extraneous sounds. For video broadcasts it is desirable to use a separate microphone. This is probably the only significant disadvantage of a webcam. But it is typical for most webcams of this class, and sometimes more expensive.
PAPALOOK AF925
Quality noise reduction.
Rating (2022): 4.8
Fast autofocus, better color reproduction, and good image quality are not all that this webcam boasts. It has a sensitive microphone with excellent noise reduction. The device filters sounds and removes trash as well as branded gadgets. This model is the best choice for beginner videobloggers. It is excellent for conferences – a two-meter cable is enough to connect to a laptop and a system unit. At the same time the price tag is pretty reasonable.
The device is equipped with high-aperture optics, due to which gives a stable quality even in low light. In terms of speed autofocus webcam reviews compare with Logitech 920, which is more expensive. And many believe that Papalook wins in this regard. The settings are intuitive, downloading drivers in manual mode is not required. There are LEDs on the body that turn on when the camera is active.
KKMOON Web Camera
Best video quality
Rating (2022): 4.9
Unlike the other KKMOON model from AliExpress, this webcam has 12MP resolution. It is equipped with specialized high-precision optical lenses. It also has automatic white balance and color correction. Thanks to this, the image is really clear and saturated. The focal length is 8 mm, there is no autofocus. The angle of inclination of the body can be adjusted up to 30 ° vertically. Horizontally, you can rotate the webcam 360 °. The cable length of 140 cm will provide a comfortable placement of the device in any room.
The reviews write that KKMOON has the best image quality. Thanks to the FPS of 30 frames per second, the video is smooth, without jerks. Color rendering is good, all shades look realistic in the frame. The microphone picks up all the sounds within a radius of 10 meters, the voice sounds quite clear thanks to noise reduction. The only drawback – sometimes you have to wait a long time for the package.
