Short-Listed Webcams for Pretoria East
Logitech C920 (~R1,300): The most-purchased streaming webcam in SA. 1080p/30fps, glass lens, 78-degree FOV, continuous autofocus. Works on Windows, macOS, and PS5 with zero drivers. Compatible with OBS, Streamlabs, Teams, and Zoom.
Logitech C922 (~R1,500): Adds software background removal (via Logitech Capture) and improved low-light performance. Ideal for streamers with inconsistent room lighting.
Razer Kiyo (~R2,500): Integrated ring light in the mounting ring. 1080p/30fps, 81.6-degree FOV. The ring light eliminates the need for a separate key light — Pretoria East home studios benefit from the built-in lighting solution.

FAQ
What webcam resolution do I need for UP or Tuks online tutorials?
1080p is more than enough for university video calls on Teams or Zoom. UP and other SA universities compress video streams server-side, so a 4K webcam offers no visible improvement on a call. The Logitech C920 at ~R1,300 is the standard student recommendation.
Is the Razer Kiyo ring light actually useful?
Yes, for under-lit gaming rooms or home offices without a dedicated key light. The Kiyo's adjustable ring light increases face brightness by roughly two exposure stops in dim conditions — visible improvement without buying a separate studio light (~R300–R800 for a basic ring light).
Can I use my webcam as a security camera when I'm away from my Pretoria East home?
Some webcams support this via third-party software (ManyCam, IP Webcam apps), but standard gaming webcams are not designed for 24/7 security use. They lack weatherproofing, night vision, and continuous recording features. A dedicated IP security camera (also stocked at Evetech) is a better option for home monitoring.
Tip
When streaming or recording, set Windows camera settings to 1920×1080 at 30 fps and disable "Auto Exposure" if your software supports manual override — Auto Exposure flickers when your background changes and can distract viewers.
