AverMedia Live Streamer CAM 313 - PW313: Review

[@abominablesnowman876]

you shouldve remove the mask when doing a webcam review. We cannot know the audio sync quality like this.

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

That's a good point thanks for the feedback.

[@jeffchong1432]

Just picked this up to try out from Costco for $39.99.

[@MitchellShelby]

Sir, why do you have a mask on? I really enjoyed the video, great comparison...

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

Thank you. The reason I have a mask on is actually because I'm not comfortable showing my face on camera yet. Nothing more.

[@MeXiCoDeOrO]

@@Wanderer001_Reviews you did good job

2MP ≠ 2 megabit 2MP == 2 megapixels

[@janegusdal9324]

Found this one of the more helpful reviews when looking for a web cam as I was debating between the two you demonstrate. Thanks!

[@PsychoSpaceBaker]

Where's the comparison of their microphones???

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

Most audio that comes from a web cam is not great. Everyone I know myself included use a different mic for audio. Which is why I did not do a audio comparison. I would be happy to do one if you are interested.

[@cloudbase7799]

"Use it on a tripod instead of clipping it to your *camera* ..." Huh?!! 🤔

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

To be fair when I was reviewing it I had it clipped on my laptop over the built-in camera.

[@juleswilko]

In the UK the Avermedia is half the price of the Logitech right now - And indeed, 1/3rd the price of the 930... How does that figure in to your prices? As from this review, anyone buying that 920S would be a fool (IMHO). Although I didn't really feel you gave an opinion in conclusion?

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

In cases like this I tend to like to leave it up to the viewer to make an informed decision on their own. However if price cheaper I would definitely not pick the Logitech.

[@typical_moggie]

Huh, not bad, just ordered mine for 60 euro 17 cents, plus shipping but not bad considering it's retail price is around $80 us

[@justalaugher]

lmao no body buys this crap in the US. And now costco is selling it for $39.99

[@DavidTriphon]

Very helpful review! I'd already received this camera as a gift and was skeptical of the quality, but this shows that it's much better than the logitech equivalent in my opinion.

[@tricorter1]

Dude, you're alone in your own room, WTF is up with the mask.....

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

Did not want to show my face on camera, but hard not to when review a camera. So, a mask.

[@tricorter1]

@@Wanderer001_Reviews Fair enough.

[@KitariItsSomethingRottenHere]

*Looks amazing and for the price even more, I currently found it and it's really, really cheap, only 30 bucks. Thanks for the Review mate.*

[@business3158]

you sound muffled ... might want to take that mask off, and edit video (censor your face if privacy personal issues) ..

[@Mikeshawtoday]

You didn't show anything regarding sharpness when close up. This CAM313 is terrible and very blurry at anything closer than 2 ft. I can't hold even a playing card near the camera without is being quite blurred. Thanks for the other aspects you reviewed.

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

I had not considered that type of use case. Thank you for the feedback.

[@agnesv9847]

My camera stopped capturing photos and the camera is not ON when I launch the webcam. However this webcam is associated to online apps and it works with live video chats. How do I fix this?

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

Just trying to understand that the camera works but only when you are using it for video chats like Zoom but not with other software?

[@reydaxw]

hello the microphone of this camera is activated and therefore the one if deactivates that of my gpro x and therefore I would like the microphone of the camera to be deactivated and reactivated for the gpo x can you help me

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

Depending on what streaming or recording software you are using you can select the mic input for which ever option you like. I do this all the time by passing the mic on the web cam for my Yeti X.

[@jayn2022]

i can find any camera software to record my webcam to make my music videos. does anyone have any ideas where to get software. i cany belive this camera did not come with software

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

You might want to check out OBS: obsproject.com/. It is free and open source and is generally what people on twitch or youtube use to record things from their cameras.

[@retrotubeclassics]

Why use a mask whene filming, you're alone ! Anyway, very good review :-)

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

Did not want to show my face on camera, but hard not to when review a camera. So, a mask. Which before 2019 people used to hide their faces when robbing banks.

[@maxk6954]

Can you please help me with the mic for some reason my mic isn't working any thoughts ?

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

Is it giving you an issue with a particular program?

[@shreyansh5303]

But second one to like because first like is of the owner itself😀😀

[@UncBlunt]

This is cool but why do you have a mask on alone in your own house?

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

Just because I don't like showing my face on camera. But when you're showing a webcam, need something to look at.

[@epimone8440]

why does this guy have a mask on

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

Don't like to show my face in my videos. That's all.

[@jellopouding]

Why mask ? your are alone ?

Very useful review, thanks!

[@missjcrew6875]

Hi there can this be plugged in à xbox one x and does it work on twitch?

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

Not sure about the xbox. However, it can be used for twitch.

[@jeremyg6126]

You should use editing a bit more to your advantage my guy but otherwise good review thanks

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

Thank you for the feedback can you give me a point of reference ?

[@jeremyg6126]

@@Wanderer001_Reviews there's a decent amount of empty space between your sentences that you could trim a bit and then there was a couple times where you kinda just repeated the same info you said in the sentence prior. Also you don't have to outro your rating when you were comparing the cameras instead intro it in the next segment, like instead of "this has been the video difference between this and this" move to a different pov and say "so as you can see from the comparison this one is much better at blank"

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

Thanks.

[@zappawaits4969]

Why do you have a mask on?

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

Don't like showing my face on camera and it was right after work for me and I have to have one on there.

[@zappawaits4969]

@@Wanderer001_Reviews fair! Thx for the review I’m going to buy this camera now. My Logitech constantly lags and changes exposure. It’s funny because I also don’t love my face up-close on cam so I zoom my camera out and purposely stream with darker light than most.

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

@@zappawaits4969 There are a lot of cosmetic things that this one can do over Logitech that might help you out too. I have pretty much been using this one for my work from home office to do all my Zoom meetings.

[@cryptogrinder1862]

Avermedia looks better!

[@shreyansh5303]

I am the first one

[@bobrichie8782]

Thank you for your review, very insightful but I don't understand the use of the mask. Didn't know Covid can come through the electronics. Please skip.

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

The mask is mainly because I film them after work and I have to wear one my job. And it's a good excuse to not show my face on camera which I'm not comfortable doing yet. When reviewing webcam you kind of have to have your face out there. So I thought of using it as a compromise.

[@ilikerealflight]

@@Wanderer001_Reviews ahhhhhhh, was gonna mention the same thing. Wouldnt wanna catch covid through a youtube vid now would we

[@cloudbase7799]

I was going to ask too, why the heck he's wearing a mask 😷🤪, and decided to scroll down the comments. I figured someone else already asked. Unless you're _the man without a face_ or wanted by the police/FBI, I don't get it. Actually, if you're _the man without a face_ then especially I think you should lose the mask. If you have a disfigured, unusual, or "just ordinary" face, "owning" it can encourage others with self-image/acceptance/esteem problems. Any rude or ridiculous comments say far more about the commenter than about your appearance. Wearing a mask draws attention and curiosity from viewers.

[@Wanderer001_Reviews]

I see your point. I do kind of like the Curiosity and intrigue angle though. Could always say face reveal at 100,000 Subs.
