Slim Technical Specifications

Advanced Imaging for Professional Calls

The webcam supports Full 1080p HD resolution. This provides sharp video for Zoom and Teams meetings. Autofocus keeps your face clear during calls. Auto white balance adjusts colours for a natural look. This works well even in dim lighting. The 75° field of view captures head and shoulders. It includes a glimpse of your background without showing too much.

Integrated Audio with Long-Range Pickup

The AWC-01 includes an omnidirectional microphone. This delivers crisp audio when you are close to the device. It also picks up voices from up to 4 metres away. This is useful for small meeting rooms. However, the microphone range is a physical limit. For larger rooms, verify if an external mic is needed.

Secure Privacy and Flexible Mounting

A detachable privacy lens cover is included. This provides peace of mind when the camera is not in use. The cover also protects the lens from dust. For placement, the clamp attaches to laptop screens. It has an anti-slip surface for stability. You can also use a tripod (not included) for perfect height. Verify the tripod thread compatibility before purchase.

Broad Software Compatibility

The Verbatim AWC-01 webcam supports popular video conference software. This includes Zoom, Teams, OBS, and Google Meet. It also works with Skype, Twitch, and Facebook. Xbox One and XSplit are listed as compatible. Because it is USB 2.0, it is widely supported. However, always check your specific OS version. It is a standard UVC device, so no extra drivers are usually needed.

Simple Plug-and-Play Setup

Setup is straightforward. Plug the USB-A cable into your computer. The system should recognise the camera immediately. No complex software installation is required. This makes it ideal for quick deployment in offices. However, USB 2.0 bandwidth may limit higher frame rates on some systems. Verify your USB port supports the required data transfer.
