Lenovo 500 Full HD USB Webcam, Black

I plugged this into my PC running Windows 10 (build19043) and the drivers installed automatically. I was able to set up Windows Hello face recognition easily enough, and I can now sign in hands-free in less than a second. The device looks surprisingly nice on top of my small bezel (<1/8") display and doesn't obscure the screen.The face recognition works great, but it only technically takes pictures. If you're looking for a webcam with face recognition, this isn't the product for you; you probably need to be shopping around the $100 price mark (or just get this with another dedicated webcam). It connects with USB 2.0, so the picture quality is pretty limited. It doesn't have a microphone (I consider this a privacy feature), and I'd be perfectly happy buying this product for a few dollars less without the RGB camera.The one caveat with this device (other than the webcam quality) is that the IR LED visibly flashes a dark red when it's trying to sign you in. This might count on a feature if you want to know when it's operating, but it's not invisible. It's also not flashing while you're signed in, so this isn't distracting.

problem with Windows Hello, not the Camera. Did not setup easily had to use a known fix to get windows to recognize it.

Got this to use Windows Hello sign on and it works great for that. Has privacy shutter. Does not have a microphone so would not be my first choice for web conferencing since I don’t have a separate mic. Good value and the Windows Hello operation seems really good including in dim light.

only produced 720p despite several hours of driver (re)installation, restarting, trying different computers.the 720p it serves up is grainier and with less accurate exposure adjustment than the cruddy built in camera.windows hello face emphatically does not work with this. windows can’t even recognize it as hello compatible.no support software available from lenovo except the driver.no information on the internet about how to troubleshoot these issues.windows 10 can’t recognize the correct make and model of the device.this is an awful webcam that i paid too much and waited too long for. DO NOT BUY.

Image quality is fine but not much impressive. Seems no microphone inside. Works fine with Windows Hello after installing a driver from the Lenovo website. Recognizes my face in a second and unlock.

It could just be my setup but my laptops webcam doesn't support windows hello natively so I bought this cam as it does - and sometimes it works great but sometimes it doesn't and when it doesn't I've got to type in my password (first world problems I know) but if your goal is to never type in a password on your win 10 pc this may not be the best choice, YMMV and it seems to be on boot up its hit or miss and sometimes when laptop wakes up from sleep mode. (there may be a solution for this online but I've not figured it out)As a regular webcam it's good but not as good as my Logitech C620 which it replaced (which itself was an upgrade from the poor webcam in my laptop)

Picture quality is excellent, easy to install and use, safely cover the lens for privacy

Lenovo 500; returned.Image Quality:My 1080p webcam from a decade ago produces a better image. Not worth the tradeoff for Windows Hello.Windows Hello:Windows Hello setup was super easy, and it did work quickly when my face registered. My only gripe here is that my face needed to be closer than usual to the monitor (camera mounted to top) for the camera to register my face.Build Quality:The camera seems to have been built well. It's sturdy and the mounting mechanism is solid for my application. They even provide an HDMI cable that seems quite durable.
