So, I tested theNexiGo Iris 4K UHD webcamto see if it lives up to the hype.
However, some 4K web cameras will set you back $400 or more.
Basic Design, Big Video
The NexiGo Iris looks like a simple webcam from the outside.
It is made entirely of plastic and has a very basic shape.
However, it doesn’t feel flimsy or low-quality when handled.
It sits well when mounted, and it doesn’t feel like it will fall apart in your hands.

Despite its plastic composition, this webcam does weigh in at just over two pounds.
This concerned me since most other webcams on the market display their weight in ounces.
The 4K video resolution, combined with theSony STARVIS sensor, provides a clear picture.

Unlike theAnkerWork B600, the NexiGo Iris does not include a built-in light.
However, NexiGo doessell a glow lightyou can purchase separately or alongside the cameraas a bundle offer.

However, the microphone quality is also impressive.
Unfortunately, one downside for me was that this webcam doesn’t include any sort of built-in speakers.
The NexiGo Iris is no exception to this…or at least it’s supposed to be.

I first tried the camera out on my Lenovo laptop (which is still running Windows 10).
I received the same message when I ran the gadget through my USB hub into the computer.
When I plugged the camera into my USB port, nothing happened.

So I tried the other USB port—still no luck.
I tried out the remote while using Google Meet, and it really worked quite well.
