Anker PowerConf C200 Webcam

While not their first webcam design, the PowerConf C200 from AnkerWork hits a lot of the key features that you may need when looking for a webcam to up your “zoom” game. For me, my favorite feature has to be the compact design, the C200 is designed a little more like an old-school action cam and its front-facing real estate is small, especially when compared with other webcams like the StreamCam, Brio, and the classic C920. The compact size should make it easier to pack if you are using it with a laptop or if you are using it on your desktop it won’t be in your face when you aren’t using it. The compact design didn’t take anything away from its mounting, you get a screw-on tripod mount or a flip-out mount that hooks on thin or thick monitors, or you can sit flat on your desk or a shelf as well. They integrated a nice privacy guard that is easy to see when it blocks your camera and it also turns the camera off on top of blocking the lens. The 1440p or 2k resolution is a nice upgrade if you have been using 720p or 1080p and even after downsizing at recording and then reencoding again (the overall encode didn’t come out looking too great but before that, it was even crisper). AnkerWork also gave the C200 multiple FOV options right out of the box which opens up options that can be controlled in the included software which was surprisingly good.
