High-quality 2K QHD webcam with auto focus, dual microphones and a privacy filter
This webcam is built to deliver pixel-clear video and disturbance-free audio, so you don’t have to worry about anything other than managing your meeting or connecting with friends. Two integrated microphones pick up your voice clearly and you can take calls in QHD resolution (2560x1440) with 30 frames per second. With additional support for 720p HD and 1080p Full HD, the Taxon can be used with any device.
With a wide-angle glass lens the Taxon is well suited to making group calls. The 80-degree angle covers a wider area than a standard lens, so more than one person can fit in the video frame without moving or adjusting the camera position, and thanks to autofocus you are the centre of attention at all times.
Video calling with the Taxon is a breeze thanks to its versatility. Use the stand that works perfectly with your home office set up; attach the camera to your monitor or place it on your desk with the universal stand, or mount the camera on a tripod stand (not included), thanks to the ¼” thread. An LED indicator at the front of the camera shows the status of the webcam, and you can use this webcam with all major video-conference software, such as Skype, Teams and Zoom.

If the webcam is not working, we recommend checking the webcam settings on the computer, such as:
- Application permissions: Apple menu> System Preferences> Security and privacy> Privacy
- Check if Mac detects the camera: Apple menu icon> About This Mac> Overview tab> System Report> System Information menu> Hardware> Camera
- Is the camera not working in a specific application? If the camera works with other applications, try resetting the screen time of the applications.
- Antivirus settings
Check the image orientation in the application that you are using the webcam with. This setting is either normal or mirrored.
Please note that in some meeting applications the "selfview" (or preview) may be flipped but the other participant(s) in the meeting will see it the correct way.
Factors that affect the maximum webcam's frame rate (fps) include the program that is used, the amount of light in the room, and the available bandwidth. Make sure you're getting the best frame rate possible by recording in bright lighting conditions, and not running running several USB-devices simultaneously on the computer.
