This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of faceVsion Technology USA. All opinions are 100% mine.

I first read about the FV touchcam N1 while researching this article and really enjoyed some of the information presented on the product, as well as the overall look and feel of the HD Video Camera.

Most HD webcams can only display the resolution as 720p locally relying on the computer itself to process the video encoding and what makes this 720 HD video webcam unique is that it uses an embedded H.264 codec chip and dual microphones supporting beamforming techniques to provide exceptional and true HD Video resolution from end to end. The video camera resolution is also scalable if your broadband or internet connection isn’t fast enough to support true HD streaming across the web such as when you are traveling.

The faceVsion FV TouchCam N1 claims to be the first Skype certified webcam to support embedded H.264 and high definition video broadcasting for crystal clear video conferences that not only allow you to see your friends and family more clearly, but add a level of professionalism to those who need to do video conferencing on the road or while telecommuting.

The autofocus wide angle (78 degree) lens in the FV touchcam N1 also allows you to have a few people sitting or in close quarters all be in the same streaming video without having to cram too close to where you are crushing each others shoulders.

I myself have used webcams to embed alongside my training video’s and haven’t been happy with the quality and resolution of the webcams I currently have, this webcam would probably do well to suit video recording needs if you want to create a screencast or video presentation as well you can make sure your video is sharp and clear, its USB and instant recording also has an advantage over having to use a camcorder to record, then plug into your computer and download, then process the video and you can save several steps by using a high definition webcam that directly plugs into your USB port.

You can find this high quality 720p HD webcam at the faceVision on line store where you can get more details and read comments on the product. You can also find the FV ExpressCombo which has an adaptive H.264 encoder and decoder allowing smooth live share of HD video/desktop in addition to HD video call over the internet and is ideal for notebook computers and more portable.

Great review on the Facevision N1. What I like about this camera is the scalable video resolution which means anyone with a lower speed internet connection can use it. The sound is also impressive in noisy conditions and both of these factors would make it the ideal web camera for video conferences on the go.

Thanks Justin! I'm gonna check that webcam. An year ago there were not even bigger camcorders with 1080p (except for professional and semi professional ones) and now there are already webcams. The technology is pretty fast in its development.

Do you know if there are already 1080p webcams? I know there have been bigger camcorders for quite some time but I'm not aware if there are webcams with this resolution.

yes, there are some really good 1080p webcams and in fact my favorite one is this one -> http://amzn.to/i1pTqd

i've got no real negative issues with this camera. We have owned 5 logitech cameras over the last few years and keep upgrading to get better video for my clients. The audio is great, the finish of the camera build is VERY nice compared to any logitech. I love the fact that the camera has a mini-usb connector ON the camera, so if your cable dies you can get a new one and the camera will remain good. I've had 2 logitech cameras die simply because the cable was wrapped up and bent once to many. So, I assume this camera wont have that issues in 1-3 years.

One comment on the video quality. I compared this one against logitech pro 9000 (I use that one at work), in the same skype sessions. I had my family in chicago tell us which camera stream they liked better. The N1 had a brighter lighting. While the Pro 9000 they said was a little better in video quality, but lower lighting. They did prefer the image stream of the Pro 9000 vs the N1.... We'll keep testing and comparing, I really wanted the N1 to just kill logitech, but it seems to be equal, greater, and worse in various cases.

all in all, i'd recommend it to anyone looking for a GOOD build, long lasting/durable (perception) webcamera.
