Dell Last year, it launched the Ultrasharp Webcam, a video camera with a 4K Sony STARVIS CMOS sensor, a multi-element lens and support for at least nine previously patented technologies. Even the basic features suggested that this is not a cheap product, which was confirmed by its price of $199.99. To capture more of the public, the company has just launched the Pro 2K web camerawhich can be seen as a cheaper and more modest version, but which can also ultimately meet the demands of many.

Dell Pro 2K webcam compared to the higher model supports a maximum resolution 2560 × 1440 pixels (QHD), which is known in many circles as 2K without actually being one. Other resolutions it supports are Full HD (1920×1080) and HD (1280×720). The QHD resolution can be used at 24 or 30 frames, while the other two go up to 60 frames per second.

Another reduction is in viewing angle, which in this case can only be set to 65 or 78 degrees compared to 90 achieved by the Ultrasharp webcam. The Dell Pro 2K webcam uses a USB Type-A (rectangular) cable as its connection interface. The company may have decided on it with the expectation that it can be connected not only to a PC, but also to a monitor or other device that functions as a USB hub.

Other features include auto focus, f/2.0 aperture, auto white balance and auto light correction. Dell announced that the device is certified for use with Zoom and Microsoft Team and that it has a Face Detection Automatic Exposure (FDAE) function.

In line with the Ultrasharp Webcam, the new model also has a barrel-shaped design, can be placed on the monitor and supports Dell Peripheral Manager to adjust its settings. It also has a privacy screen.

The Pro 2K Webcam has gone on sale in the United States for a price $134.99, which we will see what becomes of them once it hits the European market. It won’t be Ultrasharp Webcam, but for youtuberfor example, is more than enough, especially when we consider that most of the content provided through the Google platform is consumed through mobile phones that do not support large resolutions, to which is added the volume of data contracted for mobile Internet.
