Why do you need to test the camera?
- You purchased or connected a new webcam and want to check if it works properly (the webcam viewer will display the image in real time).
- You have doubts about the parameters of a newly purchased webcam and you want to test your webcam and its features (because not all sellers are honest).
- You have several cameras and you want to compare them to find out which one is better (the better the camera, the higher the “Quality Rating”).
- Want to find out if your camera has built-in microphone or built-in speaker (be aware, this feature is a little buggy).
- Want to know how many frames per second (FPS) renders your webcam (low FPS causes video lags).
- Want to know how many colors contains a photo taken with your webcam (more colors mean higher image quality).
- Want to know the resolution of your web camera (high-quality webcams have high resolution and can provide HD video calls).
- Check the quality of your webcam compared to other webcams (for this you need to leave a review about your webcam).
