1080P Business Webcam with Dual Microphone & Privacy Cover, 2021 [Upgraded] NexiGo USB FHD Web Computer Camera, Plug and Play, for Zoom/Skype/Teams Online Teaching, Laptop MAC PC Desktop
Hey guys
Check it out!
I finally received my USB Webcam and did an unboxing video. Check it out here. Frankly, I don't expect much from the camera that claims to be 1080P. Since I bought it for only around $10 bucks with redeems voucher.
I was planning to use it for video-call via Whatsapp on my computer and testing if it'll work on my Powkiddy X18 Android/Retro gaming console. I bought this no-brand webcam that will auto-install the general USB webcam driver on Microsoft Windows PC.

The camera also comes with a noise-canceling mic which didn't work at first. I tried video-call my sis and it didn't recognize the mic. I thought I had to install or update the driver. Instead, I decided to try restarting the PC, and voila, it works!
The camera didn't come with any software. I tried it with an old software I downloaded years back. It kinda works but in the end, I just use the Microsoft general camera app. The video kinda lags when I used the 1920 X 1080P but becomes smooth when using the 640 X 360 video format.

When I was recording the video with my iPad pro 10.5, I realized my iPad camera is much better than the cheap webcam. Much sharper and cleaner. I guess if you want anything better, you'll have to be willing to cough up the dough.
Anyway, I'm really interested in testing the camera on my Powdiddy X18. I read the manual that the USB Webcam supposed to also work on Android. That's a plus. Although, I'm pretty sure any latest USB webcam will work. I already tried my old webcam and it didn't. Part of the reason I decided to get a new one.

You can download any USB Webcam Android apps on the Google Play Store but currently, only one work for me. Also, I tried my OTG cable and it didn't work. It works once I change to another type of OTG cable with multiple USB connectors that also have a power connector.
I'm not sure if the camera needs the power to work. As maybe, the X18 battery power isn't strong enough? I'm trying it again after this post. The important thing for me is that I have proved my point that a USB Webcam can be connected to an Android device and especially on the X18.

One thing though is that Whatsapp on my Powkiddy X18 doesn't recognize the webcam. So, I can't use it to video call on my X18. It would have been awesome if I can use any video call app. Other than that, the webcam can be used to record videos and take pictures albeit not so good ones.
Now, you can use your X18 or GPD XD Plus to take videos or pictures on the go. You might want to get something smaller and that can be clip on the small screen. If you want better videos and pictures, you'll want to get a better webcam than the cheap one I bought.
Of course, it'll be great if in the future iteration of the Android/Retro gaming devices comes with 4G/5G and a front/back camera. I'm sure, the price can be kept lower than an NN3DS XL. I like the fact, you can also use it as a mini Android laptop. Just add a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse!
