Okay I'm back to talk more about the Nexigo n970p now that I've used it for a few days. First off I still believe that this is a great camera especially if you're looking to upgrade from anything from Logitech. The quality and the amount of access that the user is given is out of this world. I've never seen a webcam that will allow you to completely tweak your image quality like Nexigo does. That and plus it coming with a remote destroys the brio.
With that said if you're used to DSLR Cameras, the Nexigo n970p is a downgrade imo. If you like your bokeh effects and shallow depth of field it's not gonna happen with this one. You would be better off going for the Nexigo Iris although that one still doesn't have a blurred background. My issue with the n970p is that since the Iris was released Nexigo dialed back the features. Before I ordered it I watched several YT videos and thought I had a handle on how it would work before it got here. I was wrong.
When the n970p arrived the remote was completely different from the one from the YT reviews. My remote was much simpler than the og remote. I thought it was gonna look something like this Samsung.
The problem is that all those wonderful preset options are no longer available because there's only 3 buttons!!! I messaged two YouTubers to ask about the remote change and one just got back to me. He says that sooo many people have complained to him about it that he's thought about removing the video. It's not his fault because it's not his company. Not his choice but still frustrating. He offered to send me the remote that he has as he doesn't use the webcam anymore. I'm tempted but it's not that serious as I already planned on returning it.
The actual Nexigo website does sale the remote separately but I would need confirmation on which one would arrive at my house? The website shows the og remote and not scaled down model I received.
One other gripe that I have with the n970p is how the pan/tilt feature doesn't work until you zoom in a bit. When it's zoomed all the way out pan/tilt doesn't work at all. That's so odd.

Thanks for updated thread. Can anyone give feedback on new webcams that have the remote and zoom in and out feature? I know there are many and I have watched YT videos on some but I'm looking for a quality one that is not "choppy" while zooming in and out. And from a cam models perspective not a tech guy on YT. Also, as user friendly and plug n play, if possible? Non-techy here. Thanks.
(To add, I have always used a Brio which I am very satisfied with and have tried extension arms but just cant seem to make that work quite right for me. Mine is still sits on top of my monitor-kind of a pain, in that respect)
I got the Nexigo n970p yesterday and it's pretty amazing. I'm gonna test it out a bit more and then create a full review. The plan is to keep it for a few days and then exchange it for the Nexigo Iris. So far the biggest difference is the n970p doesn't have PIP (picture in picture), but the Iris does. Unless you absolutely need the PIP feature then you might think about saving some coin and just go for the n970p.
You can adjust the color settings without software and it automatically saves those settings. Even when I unplugged the webcam from one computer and plugged it into another the color settings were still in tact. Another cool feature are the profile settings that come in handy for different lighting set ups. I can create one profile for day time and natural light and then another for night time.
I believe you can even create presets for zooming? I will play with that in a little bit. I know it's possible with the Iris. This means instead of using the remote to get to a certain position, you can select a number on the remote and the ai immediately zooms in and pans to that position. That is amazing.
