Smooth 60fps @ 1080p
The camera I received (ELP 260fps USB Camera for Computer 2.9mm Wide Angle Lens Lighturn Camera 2MP Mini USB2.0 PC Camera CMOS OV4689) works very well, save it being grainy in low light conditions.The camera is not autofocus. There is a side set screw to loosen for turning the lens. There are different lenses available on Amazon if the 104° lens is not adequate for you. Swapping one out is super easy.It definately is 60fps at 1080p resolution. I need that because I'm installing it inside a caged 3D printer where it will monitor progress in real time. I need the high framerate for stills to not be blurry while the printer head is moving around. This is just fast enough at 1080p, and absolutely perfect at 720p where framerate is much higher.I wouldn't use this with Lightburn though. I tried many different cameras with it finally settling on 4k or higher exclusively, as you need the higher resolution to make out your alignments in detail.Picture quality is good, and white balance is acceptable. Contrast can get a bit dicey if there is a huge difference, as the camera can't compensate for it not being HDR capable. In other words, if you have a very bright subject next to a very dark object you're not going to have a great image. This isn't a very expensive camera, so that is to be expected.I was able to get closeups in focus less than one inch away. Not bad. Recommended.

Picture clarity issues
I purchased 2 cameras for a golf simulator. They work, but the clarity is not nearly what I was expecting.

Good video, cumbersome execution.
Good quality video that is somewhat hampered by the inclusion of an attached cable operating at USB 2.0 frame rates.. In my opinion it would have been much better if they had made the cable, detachable. As it is the cable is a fairly thick, unwieldy wire that makes it a bit difficult to maneuver in some instances. The camera does have a nice high frame rate at quite a reduced resolution. At 260 fps the resolution is only 360P. At least it's not 360I !! At its highest resolution the frame rate is 60 fps at 1080P. There is no reason (except added cost) that the interface should be USB 2.0. It should be USB 3.0 for high video frame rates. Just slightly, not recommended.

Great high frame rate camera for my Raspberry Pi project
I am building out an AI-based system with facial expression recognition that requires a high frame rate camera and this one is working great.The image quality is excellent for such a high frame rate, and this camera also allowed me to use a special lens with a coating that helps with lighting in shadowy areas. It was simple to use with my Raspberry Pi 5 set up too.

Capturing Smooth Motion at High Frame Rates
This ELP USB camera is fantastic for projects requiring high frame rates. I've been using it with my Raspberry Pi, and it delivers impressive results at 260fps in 360p, and still maintains a smooth 120fps at 720p. The 2.9mm wide-angle lens provides a broad field of view, which is helpful for capturing fast-moving objects.

Very impressive framerate! I had it at full 240FPS at 640x360 on my monitor.
I can capture faster than 240FPS, but that's the fastest my monitor could handle. I'm using this for a high speed machine vision application, so high FPS is my number one need. At 1280x720 it maintained a steady 120FPS, and at 1920x1080 it went at 60FPS. This was tested with Gucview under linux with the MJPG compression format. With YUV12 format it delivered 61FPS at 1920x1080, 121FPS at 1280x720, and 240FPS at 640x360. This is about as close to real-time as you can get. I don't have equipment to measure, but, it feels like sub-100ms lag from camera to output. I could easily control a robot arm live with this, without smacking things due to lag. Enjoy.

DIY Cam, But Can Be Used Under Other OSes
(This review is for the ELP 260fps USB Camera for Computer.)Although the ad states this cam is "for Jetson Nano", it is more versatile. I tested mine under Windows 11. There is, as far as I know, no specific Windows driver for this cam; but it functions fine without one. Basic controls (e.g., brigtness, etc.) are available, but not more sophisticated ones (like face enhancement, etc.). Use the referenced Amcap utility to see the cam output or capture video sequences.Note there is no mic built into this cam. The cam is fixed focus, but there is a tiny set screw that can probably be used to adjust the focussing if required. At least under Windows, the only resolution setting available is 1080p at 60 Hz. I thought the picture was acceptable, though a bit grainy in low ambient light. I wouldn't recommend its use as a normal webcam.Do be sure to remove the clear protective lens cap before use. ;)

Metal web cam with very long cord and good resolution
This is a unusual looking camera with none of the usual mounts you would find with the average camera mount. The brackets of does have could make it useful for a document camera or a wall installation but not on a computer. I plan to use it for document scanning and image archiving.
