Most laptop webcams are poor quality, with low resolutions and poor handling in all lighting conditions. This is a problem today because of the increased reliance on videoconferencing for remote work.This is what Dell has done to address it. They have announced the UltraSharp webcam, which they describe as a high-end solution. Although it is expensive at $200, you can get the Dell UltraSharp webcam which Dell describes as the best 4K video camera and the most intelligent.Previous Next 1 of 6The UltraSharp is a webcam that can compete with the best. The UltraSharp supports 4K (3.840 x 2.160) and has high dynamic range (HDR). There are also a variety of automatic adjustments that ensure high-quality images. The Sony STARVIS 4K sensor promises brighter images with better lowlight performance. The same sensor was also used in Razer Kiyo Pro, which was recently launched.Multi-element lenses produce clearer images that are less blurred than simpler designs. UltraSharp can produce 30 frames per second at 4K, and 60 frames per second at Full HD (1.920 x 1.080).UltraSharp incorporates intelligent technologies to enhance the image. The UltraSharp's Temporal Noise Reduction (3DNR), and Spatial Noise Reduction (SNR) both reduce video noise to levels that are unheard of in a webcam. HDR support refines the image and ensures accurate colors in cases where the subject is too bright. This allows users to capture crisp images even in low light conditions. The software also automatically adjusts for changing lighting conditions.However, Dell did not stop at image quality. The UltraSharp also features A.I.-based Autoframing, which keeps the user at the center of the image and in focus no matter where they move in the frame. UltraSharp is capable of adjusting angles up to 90 degrees. This webcam is compatible with many platforms and certified for Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and other features.The UltraSharp also includes a proximity sensor to detect user presence and allow for faster login and logoff. It also has an infrared camera that supports Windows 10 Hello. Users can log in to their computers by simply sitting down in front the webcam. Privacy features include facial recognition, a cap that can cover the lens to block view and a cap.The UltraSharp can either be attached to a top-of-the-line display or used in conjunction with the tripod.The Dell UltraSharp4K webcam will go on sale starting June 29 at $200Editors' Recommendations
