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.
