Elgato 20WAE9901 Facecam Neo Full HD Streaming Webcam

The Elgato Facecam Neo is a Full HD webcam built for content creators, streamers, and professionals who want high-quality video without a complicated setup process. At its core is a 1/2.9-inch CMOS sensor paired with an Elgato AF autofocus lens (f/2.0 aperture, 26mm full-format equivalent focal length), delivering crisp 1080p video at up to 60 frames per second. The HDR capability is a standout feature, automatically balancing exposure in scenes with strong backlighting or mixed light sources — a common challenge in home offices and streaming setups where window light competes with monitor glow.

Connectivity is handled through a fixed USB Type-C cable using the UVC v1.5 standard, ensuring broad compatibility across Windows, macOS, and virtually any application that supports standard webcam input. The 77-degree field of view strikes a practical balance between capturing enough of your environment and keeping the focus on you. Thoughtful design touches include the integrated easy-slide privacy shutter and a 1/4-inch thread mount for flexible positioning. Elgato also emphasizes sustainability with this product line, using zero-plastic packaging throughout. At just 88 x 32 x 40 mm, the Facecam Neo is compact enough to travel with a laptop while still delivering a noticeable upgrade over built-in cameras.
