Our most powerful Facecam yet, capturing Ultra HD video at a smooth 60 frames per second. With DSLR-like control and a suite of cinematic effects, it even supports lens filters—a first for webcams.
Facecam 4K delivers stunning clarity and true-to-life colors that hold up everywhere—from tight zoom-ins to 65-inch displays. This is webcam quality like you've never seen before.
4K60 FOR ALL
Not long ago, 4K at 60 fps meant expensive cameras and complex setups. Now it's just a webcam on your monitor.
NOT ALL 4K IS CREATED EQUAL
What makes great 4K video? It's more than just pixel count—it's about the quality inside each individual pixel. From an ultra-fast sensor to its mighty image engine, Facecam 4K is built to maximize fidelity in every frame. Stripped of wasteful parts like a microphone, all its hardware is directed towards a single goal: deliver the best picture possible in a webcam.
