SVPRO 4K Camera HDMI USB Dual Interface Manual Zoom Webcam for PC,2.8-12mm CS Mount Lens Camera for Close-up, CMOS IMX415 Industrial Camera for Machine Vision

Bought two of these cameras, one for a wide angle and one for a telephoto shot to livestream church services. It does 1440p (30fps) video beautifully using usb c, with the appropriate cable and pc interface. The image is -very- sharp. I read reviews for these cameras that stated both that the optics were “fake” or “hard to move.” These people didn’t seem to figure out that the screws you use to adjust the focus, iris, and zoom rings are SET SCREWS. You must loosen the screws first, then move the ring into position, and if you wish, tighten them again. I think the set screw is a great idea because, when loosened, it’s very easy to move the ring or bump the camera out of focus — more so on the wide angle version of this camera. I can’t really think of any complaints. You cannot beat this camera for the price, if you are happy with making manual adjustments. Having said that, there is a bit of wiggle room to leave the iris full open with digital exposure adjustment (which in Windows you can leave on auto). For me, I have a a pretty static environment, it’s set it and forget it.

Fantastic little camera for the price!

Old sensors meshed with quality lens. Uses a comon lens pattern .I think these are good quality sensors repupurposed from the factory and pistal industries. I can’t really recommend them for a great image quality . Maybe built for reliability great for security. I think just not enough megapixels and bad low light

Make sure to order a bigger usbc to usb a synch-cable -6ft. The quality is preety sweet if you are a lighting pro, but get a lighting kit if you arent great at lighting up your room. This is not for hobbyist, you need to know about lighting. Plan on a Capture card if you are streaming and dont buy a camera without an HDMI and USB. SVPRO is ELP as well. Plug and Play is sweet, no issue there. Avoid USB-B. If you have those covered you will get awesome results. 4-star Camera is great! I’ll update if theres changes.

The camera has an HDMI port but also needs the USB port for power so you gotta run 2 cables. It only pulls half an amp at 5v for power so just about any power source is fine. The lens is tack sharp at the widest zoom level (2.8mm) and still pretty sharp at the highest zoom of 12mm. Since it's a CS mount I thought about adapting one of my old EF lenses onto the CS mount, though I might get some extreme zoom from the crop factor alone. The coloration of the image has a lot of contrast to it so highlights will blow rather quickly and shadows will clip, especially if they're in the same frame. Overall autoexposure seems pretty intelligent and doesn't over or underexpose with from a hint of a light. It looks like white balance is checked against the entire frame.

It works as intended but I cannot focus all the time.When I do get the focus set the color shows my skin really redI ordered a different one from a different company

We are using this unit as an overhead camera similar to the stove view on cooking shows. Unfortunately, the white-balance keeps reverting to 'auto' which often ends up with greenish flesh tones. While the description claims that this is adjustable, there is no software provided or documentation regarding how to set this in the camera.
