Which should you buy, AVerMedia CAM 313 Pro or ViewSonic VB-CAM-001?
The AVerMedia CAM 313 Pro suits remote workers in dim or backlit home offices and buyers wanting autofocus and a privacy shutter together, though it is the wrong buy for streamers wanting 60fps or higher resolution and studio setups with controlled, bright lighting. The ViewSonic VB-CAM-001 is the one to take for wide monitor setups needing a full-desk field of view and home offices with noisy keyboards or HVAC systems, though it is not the pick for users wanting autofocus rather than fixed focus and streamers or content creators needing higher frame rates. Our rating of the AVerMedia CAM 313 Pro (6/10): A solid low-light-focused 1080p webcam for home offices, if not a class leader on raw sharpness. Our rating of the ViewSonic VB-CAM-001 (6/10): an unusually wide-lens webcam with strong noise-reduction mics, aimed at monitor-top conferencing setups.
