Soo... would you?
*To the Early Squad reading this: Sending Virtual hugs to everyone who needs it. Always stay safe, read my name btw♻️*
7 hours ago. Love it.
I would! if I didn’t already pick up an SL3. 🥰
No
Don’t have the money but if I did maybe I would get thid
That webcam kicks ass! Holy.
yeah it could be a killer device for the right person! just with proper lighting and all!
Check out if u have no lighting. Its garbage.
Yeah not really and coming from an owner of this cam...
Finally, innovation in the webcam market.
So fed up of the same company monopolising it and not upgrading anything
"That's not even fair" The look on your face said it all. I can't wait to see your reaction when you use the software!
I used a GoPro for a while when I was saving up for a traditional camera. I wish there had been a Webcam like this when I was first starting streaming. This is amazing. Although the GoPro was amazing in terms of video there were a lot of disconnect issues and other things that caused a lot of headaches. Also they overheat after a while.
Wow, this is pretty freaking cool. Really love how in-depth your reviews/explanations are!
Omg tell us more about the Alpha Gaming RGB logo.... that’s super cool
Probably really expensive tho... but still cool
Someone built it for him, he tweeted about it a couple weeks ago.
@@Blazer0 damn I must of missed that one. But someone built it for him, now that’s even cooler when it’s personally made

the whole brightness thing was explained completely wrong. When you lower it on the avermedia webcam, the actual iso is being decreased. When doing the same thing on the streamcam, it affects the image after the settings have been baked into the image. It's the same thing as recording footage on a camera and then trying to fix in in post VS avermedia webcam equivalent would be changing iso on the camera before starting recording, nothing is baked in, that's why you have so much flexibility, not because of the dynamic range.
How does turning down the brightens in obs tell the camera to turn down the iso? Wouldn't it just bring the brightness of the image down?
@@NanoNutrino you can see him going in the actual webcam settings (configure video setting). Obs filters is a second layer of corrections in this case which can only adjust the baked image
@@simaskaciusis3246 ah, I see
@@simaskaciusis3246 incorrect bud
They way you explained it is completely wrong and shows little logic to be honest
The triple camera comparison shot for the outro was great!
Thanks for this Harris, suuuper helpful. I've been going back and forth about how to improve image quality for both at-home and at-work presence. So much of my interactions at work are based on that "awe factor". I'm doing the best I can with a ring light and logitech webcams, but this thing seems like it's worth it's weight in gold, and I'm pretty sure it was you that mentioned on twitter that the first company to make a truly GOOD webcam would make a killing. Hopefully Avermedia has set the tone for more innovation in the webcam market!!
Yes I think I'll go with this camera after watching all your comparison vids... You almost had me convinced to get a GoPro... I've watched at least a dozen videos on different sites for the Logitech cams... DSLRs... You are the only one to mention this AVermedia. And you are right that it is fricking incredible looking. AND... it is now on Amazon new for just $179!! Less than a Brio!!
No contest. I'm getting this for my webcam. I play/stream (and record) live music mainly on my guitar and have been unhappy with latency and my strumming hand looking like it's in the Matrix movie... I knew I wanted a cam that would go up to 4K, or at least 60fps in 1080p... And your handful of vids mentioning and comparing this AVermedia camera helped make my decision.
Now... on Amazon, there are some tough reviews of this AVermedia cam. As there always are about every cam. But I try to read carefully. The one stars mention how AVermedia gets "grainy" in low light or anything but "professional" lighting. But with your knowledge of cameras and exposure, I am sure you would be able to find corrections for this?
Just wondering. Love your vids, even though I'm not a gamer, but a musician. Very helpful regardless on using OBS, and I'm definitely looking into your StreamBeats, as I've had portions of my FaceBook streams covered or blocked out because I was playing certain songs for background music before going live...
Anyway... thanks for all the knowledgable info!!
"This is the guy she told you not to worry about!" LMAO I freakin died man that was a great line. XD
An alternative to lowering the brightness to help how washed the image is would be to go in and lower the exposure. Just ensure you have the lighting to compensate. And if you don’t, you can always raise the gain in that same “Configure Video” option to give it some more presence
exposure is more important than people think!
Thats what i was thinking! If hes saying its over exposed why isn't his first thought the exposure setting?
Yeah, I figured that's what that brightness setting kind of is, but I'm not sure.
I dont think webcams offer an adjustable exposure setting. Thats why Harris mentions you are stuck in terms of lens, ISO and aperture speed etc. 11:28
@@Chronor007 The old Logitech software for the C920 lets you adjust gain and exposure separately.
Already have a camera, but Alpha Gaming videos are just the best :P
מה?
ממתי אתה צופה בו? בחיים לא ראיתי אותך בתגובות שלו
@@jomri I'm watching Alpha Gaming for around year and a half now
מה??
A already bought a Sony a few months ago but still love these videos
Likewise.. If this had been released shortly after the model they didn't release i'd have gone with it, but they took too long and i now have a Camlink, A6000 & Sigma 16mm 1.4. Great that its finally an option for people though.
I just got an A5100 as well. We paid more, but the quality is still noticeably better as well as more versatile in use so I wouldn’t feel bad making that same purchase today
Literally yesterday I bought a used A5100 for just a little more than this webcam costs, plus the cost of a Camlink. If I'd seen this video before then I'd had have a lot of thinking to do.... At least now once my job has me traveling again I'll have a decent photo shooter to bring with me as well!
should i also get a sony a5100? need help :(
@@imapirateyarrr4508 how are you getting a5100 as a webcam? i've been trying and 1) can't get to a "display only" mode 2) looks much grainier than my a6300
What a camera, what a video. Thank you Harris for sharing this, and Sam for editing it :D
If im using quicktime, how could I control de settings of the camera?
Consistently great content, thank you!
Months ago you mentioned that webcam technology has seemed to stall and none are as good as they ought to be. I was considering the Brio, but this is probably my next camera if I don't go DSLR. Thanks again Harris!
An awesome video as per usual, Harris. 😆 👍 👍
This is definitely going on my gear wishlist for sure.
Cheers to you, my man! 🍻
Wonderful review. I am thinking about buying this camera for its high quality output when it's available in Germany. Is it possible to adjust the field of view though? Make it a bit more narrow thant 94°, as I want to use it for video calls and conferences (Zoom, ...). Besides that, do you happen to know why there is only a fixed focus and no autofocus? Thank you!
Edit: Just read in a comment: " Fixed focus is definitely the right choice" as there seems to be big problems with hunting in other webcam brands.
Important note, the cable included is a usb 3.1 (big deal when you want high quality video streamed).
Also, the custom cable that you used, have you made sure it is a usb 3.1 cable as well?
Because if you didn't think about it and used usb 2.0 the quality is probably slightly squished and you could get an even better picture with 3.1.
The way you would know is if the type A end is blue or black.
Blue = 3.1
Black = 2.0
Hey Harris! Thanks for all the great vids you put out. I just came across new elgato phone webcam app called EpocCam. Was wondering if it was any good, worth buying the pro version, and if it is better than webcams for streaming and recording YT vids?? Thanks
Love it, do you think this camera would work well for single frame animation through a program like istopmotion? Thanks great review!
lmao “this is what amd is doing to intel” made me piss my pants lol
same lmfao
Great video, I just ordered an MV7 USB mic from your link. Upgraded from a snowball I've been using for the last 2 years. Lol. Can't afford the stream cam now 😭 but audio is always more important!
It’s funny/awesome how high our expectations have grown when it comes to webcam quality.
I don't think it is all that crazy... It was crazy there wasn't something in between the $150 and $800 range that was simply easy to use. It just teleported in cost.
Okay, I guess I know what I'm getting somewhat early next year! :D
Thanks for that review and the extra tips for the settings.
id love to see this head to head with the GoPro Camlink setup. Def impressed overall!
Harris I currenly have a new 2020 mac book pro that I'm using to stream xbox gaming on twitch. I just bought this web cam and the lite version setting are limited when trying to configure the picture which looks basic to your video. Any tips on mac users settings for this camera. Thank you again.
Hi Harris,
Quick question for you as I was quite set on picking up a Sony A5100 (still trying to find out if there is software to go with it instead of investing another £120 ($150) on a cam link) however this has made me pause and think do I want this (AVermedia PW513) or the Sony A5100. Any thoughts or feedback?
Thanks, Zenith
My reaction when you turned on the Avermedia was just WOW O_O Thanks for great content, have a good one!
Hello! I must ask - do the settings of the cam kept saved after pc restart and video capture device source in obs when turning on/off? This is to me also the biggest buy or no reason. Because no matter what I do with c920, it kept refreshing the brightness to defalut even with turning on and off the source in obs so I have to keep resetting values in G-Hub by clicking auto off and off to bring it back to normal and it is soooo annoying. Thank You!
Hello! Thank you for the video! I would like to replace my C920 HD because of the Logitech bug (settings always revert to default after restart, even if G Hub is installed, I need to open it, change the brightness 1%, then back, and it makes the picture look as it should), and my question would be, is there any similar bug with this AverMedia webcam or you dont have to adjust the settings after every restart? I know, Elgato Facecam has a built-in memory, which prevents the camera settings to reset, but I am not sure, whether the built-in memory is the only solution, or not. Thank you!
Having a c920, would you upgrade to the avermedia or to a mirrorless camera?
If gain is an option, turn that as far or all the way down before adjusting brightness if your image is overexposed.
Gain is basically amplifying the signal from the sensor, and introduces noise to the image, so it's better to turn it down first.
Harris, i found something cool you may want to tell your audience about. I paired a $10 usb-c to hdmi adapter with the $15 capture card, downloaded the "Open Camera" app which lets you hide all on-screen controls (e.g.: "clean hdmi out"), so i was able to mirror my phone screen (with camera app open and pointing at me) to my computer which recognized it as a webcam. There's no latency and the image quality is incredible.
Just got the Avermedia PW513, but it's incredibly noisy (image quality). I just want to use it for Zoom calls and videoconferencing. I tried adjusting the CamEngine settings, but the noisiness won't go away and the colors are a bit red on the skin tones (can't quite adjust them properly). Any suggestions?
I have been using the brio 4k for 2 years and i love this webcam....great for meetings.
you have helped me so much. i have a great use for myself to have a avermedia cam. you just sold me on it. thanks man i appreciate you
"Thats what she said". Love it. Sams editing is perfection on so many levels!
Yeah I had to see what it said.....kudos to Sam
I’m actually blown away by the Avermedia camera 😳 looks like there’s hope in the webcam world
Only a small question, what is it like when the hertz is changed in a darker room? does the image show lines which flicker on a higher hertz than a lower setting? (similar to the logitech C920)
I bought the PW515. You are right. It was so-so out of the box. However, once I got into the software and adjusted the settings for my environment, it was way better. the 65-100 adjustable lens zoom is great for adjusting the shot.
I might pick this up to add another angle and camera to my stream. I've been wanting to do a vertical layout for my live gaming scene and also keep a wide angle for when I'm just chatting but couldn't afford another mirrorless/camlink setup. I think this would be perfect for me. Good video harris!
So I want to buy this cam, but $250 is above my limit right now with having to buy a new pair of astro a40s. I was think of getting the Logitech c920, but is there any other suggestions? (An actual camera is just way to far out of my range. (And my laptop cam is just shite))
I use a 1080p 60fps 100° webcam with 2 degrees of movement (swivel left/right, and tilt up/down), although it's mounted on one of those bendable metal arms so those movement options aren't really fully utilised in my case. My only gripe with my current camera is that I am unable to modify the settings of the camera (when you go into preferences in OBS and hit Configure Camera) as they are greyed out, however I've been able to adjust the settings within OBS filters anyway so it's not a massive issue. It was only 1/4th the price too so I'm pretty pleased with it.
So would you recommend upgrading to the Aver from the C920?!
Thanks for this review. AverMedias Cam looking real good. Can you test this Cam in your Stream like you did with the in the past with other Cams and gave us an additional feedback here? I wonder how it goes if the Cam is running for several hours.
I am using a Logitech 922. I was thinking about getting the Sony A5100 with kit lens. They are between 3 and $400. Should I just go with the Sony or get the AVERMEDIA PW513. I have never used a real camera to stream yet. I have the elgato camlink already.
maybe it will be this camera now. I have really seen a big difference here! great videos, man, good guy.
what are your thoughts on on the Logitech C930? How would it compare? (FYI: I got one from work...haven't used it...and, may have to return it...but I am curious how it stacks up.)
So I want to add a second cam to my stream. Currently have a Logitech C922x and was gonna get a second one. Also looking to replace my current mic, which is the turtle beach stream mic (I know it is not great but I get decent sound out of it thanks to some of the recent sound videos here, so thanks for that), but i want to get the elgato wave 3. Torn on whether I should should get a better cam and replace my mic later, or focus on upgrading my mic and then just get a second C922x when I can. Thoughts? Suggestions?
I know you preach the wide angle but this video and a few others from you actually sold me on the portrait view for streaming. Love the content
Hey I bought the camera based on your review, but it looks grainy on stream slab . What setting should I have it set to? (New streamer here trying to get started)
this webcam's amazing! best image quality i've seen on webcams.
however, using your mobile phone's camera is still a better option vs. webcams. and as phones get cheaper their camera always improves with the number of lenses they put in.
Cam engine doesnt have any exposure setting? I get worried when I just see brightness setting. It does look great, it has good autoexposure? The avermedia camera saves the obs settings?
Very much appreciated, solid vid.
how do i get into filters? i have obs updated and it looks different, I bought this cam thanks to your recommendation it looks great so far!
Trying to enable the cam software in OBS makes my OBS hang and crash? Any suggestions on a fix
At first I was liking the stream cam better but then you did the side by side comparison and this is definitely a better camera.
Thanks for the video I just purchased one was tired of streaming from my phone. Your videos rock
2:14 when Harris shows the camera, it looks like a whole PS4 camera!!
So, what's it look like when zoomed in, or when I use it with Zoom and presumably don't have the same controls and filters as OBS?
First off love the videos, when I saw this I got excited to see a Webcam actually come out that can finally compete. Really debating buying one of these but not sure if it would be more worth it to get a camera.
Hey Harris I’ve been watching for a while and I was wondering what to get I was going to get a Rode pod mic with a Yamaha AG06 or a go xlr I don’t want to spend £350 though what should I get
Hey Harris, what would you recommend for a DSLR cameras for streaming?
"This is you, this is the guy she tells you not to worry about" I'm dead...
I literally chuckled out loud when he said that LOL
Curious if you have looked at the new GoPro 9 Hero Black that is stream capable without the Camlink. All it requires is the updated Gopro Software.
Have u done a review on the Aston stealth mic yet ?
ohhh iam so confuse which camera the best for me .. would you please tell me what is the best for me ? i want my skin look natural and when iam iam on camera i like me eye balls see the color specially when iam wearing contact lenses , by the way iam streamer working in a live jasmin site .. and iam using windows 7 and i7 procesor 4rth generation computer ,, i wish i could get the answer .. thank you
How would you compare the video quality of the old AVerMedia camera you have to this one? Costco has it on sale and now I am debating.
So I got mine yesterday, and it's horribly grainy. Even after improving lighting and applying denoise filters. Is your footage here using post-processing, or just the settings you demonstrated? Other users on Reddit are reporting the same, and I'm wondering if I'm just overlooking something or there's a problem with some or all of the release cameras.
I think the quality control might be ass. I got one and after doing what he said in the video it vastly improved the image from being disastrously noisy to being well, I just had to heavily darken the image and then turn up my ring light. Some people have better lighting situations than mine and are having issues so I wonder if there's just a crapload of bum cameras floating around.
I have been a fan of AVermedia's products for awhile and this webcam does look great I will say Logitech actually does have a conference grade PTZ cameras witch might be more of a comparison.
My question is with the Canon software you can grab some powershot cameras like the G5X Mark II witch is about 400$. With the Powershot will you start to get some of those high end camera functions, and better image quality? or would it just be a glorified webcam?
bro, i have question...which better avermedia pw513 or gopro for webcam??
cant seem to buy ''AVermedia PW 513'' anywhere. looked on different sites, even on there own website, it says i could buy it on Amazon for example, but could not find it there.
Is this available in the UK yet? Ive been searching High and low but nowhere has it even advertised?
Hello, It's a possible to connect AVermedia PW513 on OBS using Mac desktop?
Do you think this Webcam is better than a Sony A5100? Because i have a Sony A5100 as Webcam but i cant figure out how i can delete the inputlag und configure that the camera can capture fast movements like Beatsaber. Its all washed out and blurry
The bigger dynamic range is an obvious plus, but I think the biggest factor in the improved image quality is the lens. The other two look fuzzy; the PW513 looks sharp (you had them all set to the same capture resolution, didn't you?). A very tempting potential upgrade from my C920.
How do you get your Eos R to have constant power for streaming? because doesn't a dummy battery still need the battery door closed?
For stream am users : if you have the same over exposed spot problem, bring gain down and you're good to go to tweak the other exposure parameters
Finally picked up mine for 150€ on amazon. Got a bright light and it works like a charm. Moving back from my 5100 because it was too much hastle to use, now I have the convenience of a webcam and it's awesome!
Soooooo quick question. Do you think it’s worth saving a little more to get a used a5100 then if this one is $250 out the gate? Or is this good enough to compete with the a5100?
If I had two of these cameras, Is there a switcher ( 2+ in 1 out) that allows me to toggle between the single views during a web demonstration? All I can find is HDMI
I'm not even a streamer but your video content and the way you present the information is awesome! New Subscriber here.
Wow that webcam is incredible. Easy choice if you're going for an upgrade.
Does it save settings to the camera itself, and will preserve those settings after you disconnect it?
What’s that big console like box under you led logo?
Personally I think the Brio looks to have slightly higher dynamic range, have you tried doing the same color correction for each camera? It seems like a competitive disadvantage for the Brio that you also didn't turn the brightness down and slightly increase the contrast because the image looked really good and flat and manipulatable!
Brio owner here. It's as customizable as you explain it to be. Both webcams are exciting products for any streamer.
Hey Harris, have you checked the Akaso Brave 4? It's an action cam with built in webcam over USB function. Not as good as the newer gopros, but its $80...
I think it does 1080p 30 over USB but records 4k 24 or 1080p 60
Great review!
And know we wait 1 and a half more months for another upload
Will you be making a video about the elgato EpocCam software?
My exams are coming soon and i watch your vids during my breaks hoping to get to streaming after my exams. My exams end in a month!
Aye good luck dude!
@@TheNadad thanks
Do it!!! It's a blast :D
For your alpha pack design does it also coming in red colour or is it just blue ?
Super stoked about this camera. I’m def. snatching one up
Question! Were you running the AverMedia webcam at 4k 30fps, or 1080p 60fps? Maybe I missed it, but I'm seeing other reviews with poor image quality (grainy) when run at 1080p 60fps
holy crap dude, I love how companies are starting to pay attention!!
What would be a good laptop to use with this? My podcast video quality isn't all that good with it and the laptop can't even use the software for the camera.
So this new webcam is actually nuts. A couple things I'm really curious about are if those brightness, contrast, and saturation settings are now being treated as "pre-processed image" adjustments, or if the AverMedia actually just has an insane amount of stops of dynamic range. The other thing I noticed on the negative side that the Brio actually outperformed the AverMedia in seemed to be color fringing. I noticed it mostly in the hair where their seemed to be a dark halo around edges. This is usually either due to bad chroma subsampling or over-sharpening, but I don't see sharpening as the culprit here. Speaking of sharpening, one of the things I most liked about the AverMedia that's a game changer for me is the fact that the image doesn't have the classic webcam over-sharpening look that just about all other webcams have to compensate for low quality image processing (since of course it's all being powered by the CPU), and you can really see it in the side-by-side-by-side in the most detailed areas where compression is just killing the image quality on the Logitechs, but the AverMedia looks much more natural and crisp, which is really refreshing to see.
All in all, it's cool.
Hey, anyone knows, where I can buy his shirt from the intro?
