Performance
The Anivia Webcam did a great job at capturing at 1080p. With its beauty encoding algorithm, it’s able to make sure light correction is on point, especially in dim light. Operating in low light was good, but the audio quality takes the cake here. The Anivia Laptop Camera Mini Plug and Play Video Calling Computer Camera uses two built-in omni-directionl microphones for way better audio quality, matching even the more expensive Logitech C930e 1080p HD Webcam in performance.
Design
What sets the Anivia 1080p HD Webcam apart from others is its design. The camera built with a mult-functional bracket doesn’t just rest along the top of your computer, its base can be folded into its own stand. And with how small the Anivia desktop laptop camera mini is, measuring 3.86 x 3.07 x 2.44 inches, so there is a level of portability, just like the AUKEY PC-LM1 Webcam. The webcam has a rather cheap build quality, however. Over time, you can wear out the hinge.
Value
Considering the performance of the Anivia 1080p HD Webcam W8 USB Desktop Laptop Camera, it makes for a good quality webcam. We are docking points for build quality. If you’re one who takes care of their devices, that won’t be an issue, however. This is especially true if you’re looking for a really cheap webcam.
For better quality overall, consider the Vitade 960 1080p. It’s a much better companion for streamers, and of much higher build quality.
