Great WebCam: Doesn't work with Windows Hello Face
4 Stars
Great WebCam: Doesn't work with Windows Hello Face
This is an inexpensive web cam with a good picture and reasonable microphone. It's far better than my laptop and much more convenient when docked with a large monitor.The one downside is that in spite of it being a Microsoft product, it doesn't work with the Windows Hello Face Login mechanism. It turns out there's a good explanation for this, but one that is rather hard to find. Windows Hello Face only works with cameras that support near infrared. Here's a quote from Microsoft support about the LifeCam Studio that applies equally to this product: "Windows Hello face authentication utilizes a camera specially configured for near infrared (IR) imaging to authenticate and unlock Windows devices as well as unlock your Microsoft Passport."So if you do get this Webcam, don't do what I did and waste of couple of hours trying to get it work (only to be told there's something wrong with your camera over and over.) Don't try deleting drivers and downloading new ones. Nothing will work.In Microsoft's defense, an IR based facial recognition seems like it would be more secure (i.e. photo's wouldn't bypass it), but really, they should tell us that up front.
