Poly By Plantronics Studio P5 Professional Webcam - 1080P Hd Laptop Camera For Video Conference & Distance Learning - Monitor & Tripod Mount - Privacy Shutter-Works W/Teams, Zoom (Certified) - Digital

Initially skeptical whether the seller honors the order, but I received my product in good time

Review after 3 months of usage. Very good product working as expected. Tiny one and easy to carry.

Product camera is good along with back side usb support to make it connect with bluetooth speakerphone , camera privacy shutter can be improved accidentaly you may close or open it.

seems to be a refurbished product received on may 2026 with manufacturing in 2021

Don’t Forget to open completly the camera.

I bought this hoping that I would be able to have one device that could work both as a webcam and microphone, but the microphone was so bad I sent the P5 back. I don't know if I was doing something wrong, but I tried the P5 on two laptops with the same result; no audio pick up and when it did it was unintelligible. Plantronics have clearly tried to up date their marketing so they aren't seen as a supplier of low end products, and that it what convinced me to buy the P5, but the product was still low end quality. Avoid the Poly P5.

Die Poly Studio P5 Professional PC-Webcam kommt in einem schicken Design mit einer matten weißen Oberfläche mit einigen Sprenkeln. Mir persönlich gefällt das ganz gut, passt aber ggf. nicht zu den meist schwarzen Monitoren. Nach dem Anschluss der Webcam per USB (Kabel ist gut 1,2m lang) klemmt man die Webcam auf den Monitor. Die Neigung kann man nun über die Klemme einstellen, was gut funktioniert, bei dickeren Monitoren aber etwas wacklig werden könnte. Positiv ist, dass man die Webcam um 360° drehen kann. Ein weiteres Plus ist die Aktivierung. Im „Normalzustand“ ist die Linse bedeckt. Dreht man den vorderen Ring, wird die Linse sichtbar und die Kamera ist aktiv (inkl. grünem Lämpchen). Für mich ein großes Plus in Sachen Handling und Design. Weiter geht’s mit dem Bild. Die 1080p-Auflösing mit 4fach Zoom und automatischem Lichtausgleich ermöglicht ein gutes und stabiles Bild auch bei weniger guten Lichtverhältnissen. Der Autofokus arbeitet schnell und präzise. Der Ton könnte besser sein und ist meiner Ansicht etwas blechern. Da ich die Webcam aber ausschließlich mit Headset nutze, habe ich dies nur kurz angetestet. Alles in allem eine solide Webcam, welche bei mir im HomeOffice tadellos funktioniert. Mit ca. 100 € liegt die Webcam innerhalb vergleichbarer Marken-Webcams.

Installation facile : on branche et ça marche (sur pc et sur Mac) pas besoin d’etre admin pour l’installer. Aucun logiciel à installer. Vidéo top et prise de son également ( utilisation avec teams, FaceTime et zoom)

One of the reasons I settled on this camera was that some of the reviews I read indicated the microphone was better than the average. As I was going to be using this for Teams meetings for work I considered that important. When I got the camera I installed the software for it, plugged it in and updated the firmware as requested. When I went to try it, while a microphone showed be selected, it would not work at all. I tried it on a couple of computers and reached out to Poly support to make sure there wasn't something I was doing wrong. I went through all their fault-finding until they eventually decided that it needed to be returned under warranty. I returned it via Amazon and, thinking I must have just chanced on a faulty item, got them to replace it. When I got the replacement I tried plugging it in and had exactly the same result - the microphone would not work. I thus bundled it up and returned for a refund and bought a Logitech instead (that just worked). I'm not sure what was going on with this camera, but even if there was something I was doing wrong, it shouldn't be so hard to get a webcam working.
