I’ve been using the amcrest AWC201-B for the last several months now and figured it was time to share my thoughts on it.
The AWC201-B is a compact 1080P webcam featuring a built in microphone and long attached USB 2.0 Camera. The ⅓” CMOS image sensor features a wide 70° viewing angle with a 4mm max focal length.
The webcam comes with a stick on privacy cover:
| Resolution | 2MP (1920 x 1080) |
| Field of View | 70° Wide View |
| Focal Length | 3.6mm |
| Privacy Cover | Included (Sticker attachment) |
| Microphone | Built-in (High Sensitivity Microphone) |
| Cable | Attached – 5ft 5 inch |
| OS Compatibility | Windows 10 | Mac OS | Android | |
| Connectivity | USB 2.0 |
With a built in adjusted stand you are able to easily adapt the camera to different mounting points allowing for great versatility. An included mini tripod is a great addition that adds value to the camera.
The built in Microphone is not the greatest as is usually the case with webcams, so I do recommend having a dedicated microphone / headset for audio.
The AWC201-B works well with webex and provides a good video image without breaking the bank, and with a long attached USB cable you can easily mount the camera wherever you need to.
Thank you for the info, much appreciated !
