- Oh! Hey, this is a really
big box for a webcam. What's the deal, why's it so big? - [Jono] There's so many! - You thought... Is this a prank? You told me to unbox a webcam, but really it's gonna be - [Jono] A snake. - A huge camera. Oh, okay but still. Wait, so this is a smaller box but it's still a pretty big box. - [Jono] Yeah. - Is that how long it is? The NexiGo 970P webcam? That's a long boy. Okay, so we got the NexiGo 970P AI-powered 4K EPTZ conference camera. What is EPTZ? What is that? - [Jono] No idea. - Zoom certified. You are allowed to use this with Zoom, you heard it here first. So NexiGo sponsored this
video but we kind of wanted to take a look at this one anyways because it's got the same sensor as that fancy Dell UltraSharp camera that Alex looked at many, many moons ago. It's a Sony 1/2.8 inch sensor, which Alex said translates to some other, you can translate that into
a more sensible camera size, I think it's like five point something. Bigger is better according to Andy so that's what we're gonna go with. What else, what other kind of features are they advertising on the box? Ultra HD 4K, which is
good in a modern webcam, AI auto-framing which we're seeing in a few different models these days. Apple has their own thing
from... Center Stage? - [Jono] Yeah. - I almost said front stage, camera... Stage front, I'll see you there. (laughs awkwardly) Oh, it's not EPTZ, it's E-P-T-Z. We need to find out what that is. What is EPTZ? PTZ stands for pan, tilt and zoom. You have some cameras that can do that like mechanically where the
camera is actually moving but EPTZ means it's
doing it electronically so it's kind of like, you know, that's how they do the
auto AI framing thing. Let's open it up. (touches box, imitates opening it) All right, let's take a look at this. Ooh, very smooth, very
smooth unboxing experience. It comes with a thick, that's a thick boy. That's a thick USB cable. (plastic moving) (finger hitting plastic) Ahh Oh yeah, ten, so there's a 9.84 feet or three meter black USB 3.0 cable and here we have some sort of mounting doo-hickey that I will figure out
how to use in a second. - [Jono] It's a privacy screen. - Is that what that is?
- [Jono] Yeah. - That's spoilers. Ah, here's the remote. (opening plastic) So, I Ya know I don't think I've ever seen a webcam with a dedicated remote and especially one this big before. Does not come with batteries and the webcam itself. Wow, like man, I was, we were not kidding when we said this is a long boy. Look at that. That is... (laughs) that's so wide. Okay, I like the mounting mechanism. It's similar to some other
webcam mounting solutions that I've seen, although
there's no turning. Can't swivel, unless I'm just tripping. Yeah, we do not have swivel
on there so that's too bad. Yeah, so we got the big main lens there to house that big old Sony
sensor we were talking about and I'm guessing these are
mics on the either side here. Let's plug this sucker
in and see how she goes after I verify whether
Jono was telling the truth about the privacy screen. Ah, I see. So you can just flip it up like that. You see that, Andy? No one can see me. It's so big, look at this. I can gesture with it. I can gesture at someone. Over there, you're gonna wanna, yeah check it out over there, there's some other worse webcams
in that general direction. But over here, this is what you want. The big, the thick boy, get
yourself a thick webcam. I'm gonna keep talking about this. This is no joke. This isn't for like... - [Jono] This aint for babies. - Is this for streaming, you think? Or is it for... - [Jono] You could probably
use it for streaming. - Are we streaming or are we dancing? You don't recognize that? - [Jono] No. (laughs) - The Killers? The editor will definitely
know what I'm talking about. Okay, I mean, not a bad
image, right outta the box, looking pretty sharp. Can you see my pores with the 4K? A little bit. That's good. I want people to see,
I'm not perfect, okay? We're a little warm for my taste, but in terms of the sharpness
that we're seeing here, I like it, there's some detail. You can see the little
imperfections in the warehouse wall. Let's see if I can warm it up a little bit with the NexiGo panel here. White balance. Let's turn that off auto. Mm. I'm very sad. Yeah, I mean the auto looked fine. I mean, I think I'd be fine using this for a conference call or something, it's not like horribly off putting. So NexiGo has actually
made this a little simpler for the average person
who's not gonna be able to plug this in and
then know to go download the proper software or something. You just got this remote and this is how you enable the AI feature, is that what you're saying? Is that what you're telling me, Jono? - Yep, press the top right button. - Top... what, this? - [Jono] Yeah, yeah. - Oh. So it is showing up, it's
showing up on the webcam feed. If you're having a meeting
and you wanted to use the the menu in the middle of the meeting, they would see what you're doing there with the going between
the different options. This is interesting, I've
never seen this before. Maybe there are webcams
out there that use this but this is new to me. So you have a remote, it brings up an OSD like you're using a TV
or a monitor or something and I guess I'm gonna go to setup. Auto framing, image style, what? Oh, normal. Clarity. Bright. Soft. - Default. Okay, well, auto framing. Let's see how this baby does
following me around the room. Oh, close... wait, it's already on? Open. Okay, so open means it's kind of keeping a pretty wide frame still
but it will follow you. Oh, let's go to two sensitivity. I was on zero, I think. Take that apple, although
we're not really zooming in. Oh, it did zoom in a little bit. Welcome to my seminar! (laughs) - [Jono] Ay! - I'm so glad you came
to my online seminar but I have something
to show you over there. (feet stepping/walking) We are destined for greatness. (all laugh) That was pretty good. Hello. (laughs) When auto framing's set to close, that appears to not do anything,
but when you go to open then that's when we get
the movement going on. This is my chair. Exposure, okay, so now
these are different options than we saw in the NexiGo software. Maybe this is, okay, we'll see here. Mode, manual, SAE. What's EV? On. They give you a free electric vehicle. Increasing that is just
making me look more like I live in a volcano. DRC looks like it's raising shadows. - [Jono] Dynamic range. - Dynamic range, oh okay. We want maximum dynamic range, baby. Again, what does again mean? Andy, help me. Okay, so the prevailing
theory here is that again just means gain and they just
had a little bit of a mix up. I think my takeaway from this menu thing is that this is pretty cool for people who would not be as technically literate as PC gamers such as you and I. but they can use a little bit of a polish in the menu system, for sure. It's a little bit confusing to go through. However what I have discovered,
is that there's a lot of depth to these options. You can really dig in there and cycle between all
sorts of different modes and settings options that you can really make your webcam look the
way you want it to look, more or less, within the
physical restraints of reality. But there's a lot of
options there so that's good and yeah, you can save it as a preset so what I've done, I just
saved the preset as it is on preset number one, if
you hold button number one, that's what you can do, you
can save it as a preset. However, it seems like
that doesn't really work with the different
color settings and stuff but it does work with framing. So if I press the zoom
button, can you see that Andy? There's a zoom button on the remote and I can just zoom right in on myself. Wait no, not over there. - [Andy] Hi Riley! - Wait, I can see-
- [Andy] Why are you up there? - I can save it. Mm. Mm. This is what I like. And those presets are saved to the camera so you can take the camera with
you to whatever you're going and have your framing presets
already set, so that's nice. This is the audio from the NexiGo webcam. Tell me what you think, I don't know what it sounds like yet. Hey, can you hear me when
I'm over here, NexiGo webcam? Apparently there's an
audio range of 20 feet and I'm only like, what is this? 10, 15, 12? - Apple thinks they're so cool. Apple thinks they're so
smart with the Center Stage, ooh, look at us. We got you covered. We just make a foot long webcam and it can do everything you can do. This is the 720P webcam
built into this laptop and right away you can
tell a massive difference. Let's go back to the NexiGo. I mean, it's night and day. I think there are still, you
know, some color profiles, some color settings that I
would change with this setup, but just from fiddling
with it for a few minutes, being able to get it to
this level of quality. Whoa, whoa. (laughs) Look at the
shadows around my hands. That's probably the result of me affecting some sort of black level setting. I changed, I touched something. That's a massive difference
between the 720P 30 FPS, on this one, it's 4K. I think it is actually
set to 30 FBS right now. Woo, jiggly jiggly jello-wello. (laughs) Okay, I just changed
the shutter speed to 120 to account for the 60 FPS
that it's recording at So this already looks a lot better, so. Well at the end of the
day, this is a sharp image. I mean, it's a lot better
than a lot of other webcams you can find on the market that are kind of overpriced but this is, especially with the amount
of customization you can do. Thanks for sponsoring this video, NexiGo and if you guys are
