The camera draws power directly from a USB 2.0 connection with no external adapter required. A built-in microphone captures clear voice up to 10 metres away while the CMOS sensor maintains a signal-to-noise ratio above 48 dB at 30 frames per second under 220 lux lighting.
Build Connectors Mounting
A silver clip-on base rotates 360 degrees horizontally and tilts 30 degrees vertically for flexible positioning on LCD screens or laptops.

Questions about this item
How do I install the Hotai USB webcam and which step is often missed?
Plug the USB 2.0 connector into the computer, then manually rotate the focal ring until the image is sharp; many users skip the manual focus step.
What maintenance will the built-in microphone and LED lights need later?
Wipe the microphone grille and the two LED lenses with a dry cloth when dust builds up; no internal parts require replacement.
What limit appears first during long video calls at 640 x 480 resolution?
The fixed 480P capture resolution and 30 frames per second rate become the bottleneck before the USB 2.0 bandwidth does.
