Ratings and reviews

Over WiFi, especially if the WiFi/internet is being used for other things (video calls) and especially if it's being used by many people in your household, connection quality is not great. It (very) often freezes and the delay is noticeable when it isn't frozen. I wouldn't use over WiFi unless you don't have another option for a webcam. Over USB it's much much better. A little tricker to set up the 1st time, but fine afterwards. Lag is almost 0, and more importantly dropouts are non-existent.

Works brilliantly wired, took only five minutes to set up. Using this on an old phone, I am able to open the app on my PC, click one button then I'm up and running. Lag isn't bad, and I have not tested the audio, but for video, this is great. Only thing is that you can't rotate your screen or control exposure with the free version, but this is perfectly adequate.

Works well. You have to make sure that the phone app is already running and visible on the phone screen (not in just running in background) while you open the app on the computer or it will say it's an error, connection reset or lost. Once that is done the connection is very good, I've tried the usb and Wi-Fi connections. They had good video and audio. In the settings on my computer software I can choose which cell camera to use and computer or cell audio, so lots of options.
