Anker AnkerWork C310 Webcam, 4K Webcam, 12 Megapixel, AI Auto Focus, AI Framing, AI Noise Canceling Mic, Built-in Privacy Cover, and Adjustable FOV, 1080p@60FPS HDR, for Video Calls and Livestreams

This is my 2nd Anker brand, first one being the 2K version, and I thought why not pay extra money and get the latest 4K one. I'm not really into web cams and just use them out of necessity, and my customers now say that I come in crystal clear. For me it just a device sitting there on top of my monitor, so I forget about it being there. The build quality feels solid and heavy in my hands, and it doesn't feel cheap at all compared to others I've owned in the past. Operations wise, the camera can go for hours on end without a hiccup or blimp on the screen, so that says something about it's thermal signature and data transfer rate. I like the red privacy shutter, compared to to those hinged caps that cover the lens. Installation was thoughtless and it just hooked up like it had been there for years already. To me, this is a no frills web cam that just works like military equipment, that is durable and rugged day in and day out. Maybe it's not the best, but it's not the worse by any means and it was money well spent. As far as all those features go, I don't really use them at all but did refine the zoom, lighting and other stuff via my Operating System interface, and that was it, pretty much set and forget for me. My shopping experience for buying another web cam was littered with hundreds of options from many manufactures, and it got to the point where I just settled for this one and hoped for the best, and I wasn't disappointed. If your reading this, you might of hit web cam shopping overload like I did after an hour, and your looking to just pick something decent right now at the right price point and get it over with, that's what this camera is. I gave it 5 stars for it's build quality, reliability, thermal signature, data transfer rate, and ease of use compared to others in the same price range.

The AnkerWork C310 Webcam has significantly enhanced my video conferencing experience. Its sound quality is outstanding, thanks to the AI noise-canceling microphones that ensure clear audio even in noisy environments. The webcam's seamless compatibility with Microsoft Teams and other platforms makes it a reliable choice for professional meetings.​ Visually, the webcam delivers impressive color accuracy, producing vibrant and true-to-life images. Its performance in low light conditions is commendable, maintaining clarity without the need for additional lighting. The auto focus feature is responsive, keeping the subject sharp and in focus throughout the session.​ Overall, the AnkerWork C310 combines advanced features with user-friendly design, making it a top-tier choice for anyone seeking a high-quality webcam.

I purchased this webcam primarily for Zoom calls so I wouldn’t have to rely on my MacBook Pro’s built-in camera. The image quality ranges from marginal to good, but there are some key drawbacks potential buyers should be aware of. First, if you want to take advantage of 4K resolution, you’ll need a USB 3.1 or higher connection. Unfortunately, the included cable is a USB-C to USB-A, which limits you to 1080p unless your setup supports USB 3.x or later through USB-A (unlikely in many cases). To use 4K, you’ll need to purchase a high-speed USB-C to USB-C cable separately. I had a couple of shorter USB-C cables on hand for testing, and they did enable 4K, but they weren’t long enough for practical use. I’ve since ordered a 2-meter USB-C to USB-C cable rated for “USB 4” speeds. Another disappointment is the lack of a “follow me” feature, which is standard on many modern webcams and built-in laptop cameras. [**EDIT**] It turns out this feature is in there but is obscured by a different terminology. They call it "Solo Frame" under "Field of View" in the settings. But it is limited to one field of view so you can't be doing something like a presentation and have it follow you since it is always zooming into your face with "Solo Frame" or not following with the other 3 settings. If you don't need this then it won't matter, but it needs some enhancing. The other thing is echo suppression. Most phones, cameras, iPads etc allow you do to video calling (zoom, Teams, FaceTime, etc.) and they person on the other end of the line does not hear their own voices echoing back to them. This camera has 3 Audio settings. 360, 90, and AI Noise Reduction. 360 uses mics on both sides of the camera to pick up sound, 90 uses the front mic only, and the AI Noise Reduction--I don't know what it does. But here's what I found. If you set it to 90 (front mic only) and turn OFF their AI Noise Reduction, the caller's voice does not echo back to them. If you use 360 (both mics) or AI Noise Reduction, the caller's voice is echoed back to them. (Trial and error was how I found this as their Tech support literally said "I am unfamiliar with this product but I can point you to the web where the product is documented". Despite these shortcomings, I’ve decided to keep it. It’s already mounted on my curved monitor and will likely stay there for now. For simple Zoom, MS Teams or FaceTime calls, it gets the job done--albeit substantially less quality than the built-in mic and camera in my iPad,. If you’re considering this webcam, here’s my advice: • If 4K is essential, double-check that your setup can support it with the appropriate cable. • If you want a “follow me” feature, look at the "Solo Frame" setting or this camera may not be right for you. • If you only need 1080p, Anker offers a budget-friendly option at around $60, which is a better value unless you snag this model on a decent sale. I bought mine during a Black Friday deal, but it was only about $10-$15 off. For what it offers, it’s a decent webcam but not the slam dunk I was hoping for.

I needed a new webcam that provides clear 4k video but doesn't break the bank, and this was it. Anker AnkerWork C310 is a durable webcam that fits securely on my monitor. The camera only turns on when the privacy shutter is open and is a must have these days. The 4K video feed was sharp and bright, and the AI Auto Focus does a good job of focusing on the subject. The built-in mic has good reception, but I am unsure about its capability to filter out background noise. When installing this, ensure it is plugged into a USB 3.0 or USB-C port due to the data rate requirements of 4K video. I am sure it will work plugged into a regular USB 2.0 port, but if you are buying this for great video quality, then it needs to be set up right. It does get a little warm once it is going, but that is normal. Overall, this is a great product for anyone who is in the market for a 4K webcam.

Just received my AnkerWork C310 Webcam and I'm beyond thrilled with its performance. Here's what I absolutely adore about this product: Superior Call Quality: During my video calls, everyone kept pointing out how crisp and clear my camera feed was. The 12MP 4K display genuinely enhances my video conferencing experience by delivering true-to-life images. Seamless Integration with MacOS: I've used multiple webcams in the past and often bumped into compatibility issues. But the C310 was plug-and-play with my MacOS without any hitches. Decent AI Features: The AI functionalities are commendable, especially the AI autofocus and the AI noise canceling mic. While I'd rate its AI capabilities as moderate, it gets the job done and enhances my video quality and audio clarity. Thoughtful Design Additions: The built-in privacy cover is a simple yet significant feature that ensures my privacy post-meetings. It's reassuring to have this small but essential protective barrier. Value for Money: For the price point, especially with the current deal, it's a steal. The performance and features you get out of this are easily comparable to high-end models in the market. To anyone in need of a solid webcam for both professional and personal use, the AnkerWork C310 is a no-brainer. Definitely elevates my meetings and livestreams to the next level! Would highly recommend it! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

UPDATE MAY 2025: After I posted my review, Anker issued a full refund. I did some more digging and believe I found the issue. This camera is EXTREMELY fussy about what cables it will behave with. I tried multiple high-end USB-C 3.1 cables from multiple well-respected cable manufacturers, including Anker. I even tried the included cable. I have tried every possible combination of cables and laptops / desktops at my disposal. I have tried directly connecting to the motherboard and I have tried powered USB 3.1 hubs. All failed. All would only work in 1080P, and would give that weird message about "4K not available in USB 2.0". The ONLY thing that will make this work in 4K is some no-name USB-C cable that was bundled with some other product. I thought this must have been pure chance, so I repeated my test and I am able to reproduce these results consistently. High-end, name-brand, USB-C 3.1 cables, including the one that ships with the camera? 1080P only. No-name USB-C cable of unknown origin? 4K. So at best, this is EXTREMELY fussy about what cables will work. Normal 100 Mb rated cables from reputable manufacturers, including the one that ships with the camera, won't work. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Like so many other reviewers, I have had nothing but frustration with this camera. 4K? Nope, 1080P only. Lossless mode? Nope, compressed stream only. I have now tried three different PCs: two laptops and a desktop, all with USB 3.1 ports, both USB-A and USB-C. I have tried multiple high-quality cables from multiple name-brand vendors with high power ratings, including the bundled Anker USB-A to USB-C cable. I have tried with and without the AnkerWork software. I have tried deleting the camera out of Device Manager and reinstalling. I have tried every possible combination of cables, desktop / laptop, and ports. Out of sheer frustration, I also tried a powered USB 3.1 hub. No matter what I do, the camera is locked to 1080P, compressed. Options for 4K and lossless are greyed out. The camera whines that "you can't use 4K on a USB 2.0 port or while in portrait mode or at 60 FPS". But I'm using a USB 3.1 port. I'm not in portrait mode, because I can't turn it on. And I'm only at 30 FPS. Every possible combination of cables and hardware gives the same result. Just for fun I pulled out an old Windows 10 laptop with USB 3.0 ports. The camera simply failed to power up. I give up. This makes an okay 1080P camera, but at 2x - 3x the cost. My old Anker 1080P cam never gave me any problems, but this thing is a fussy nightmare of frustration and sadness. It's a trainwreck of a camera that should never have been released.

I tested this camera in many different lighting conditions and it has a STRONG preference for blurring the subject and keeping the background in crystal clear focus. The marketing around this camera says it's "AI powered", but face detection has been solved for decades now and they aren't employing any of it. They're probably using autofocus solutions from the early 90's and slapping an AI label on it. To drive the final nail in this product's coffin, the manual focus settings exposed over USB don't actually do anything. I have a Logitech camera from the early 2000's that respects the same settings just fine, but not this camera. You're getting the crappy autofocus whether you want it or not. Anker usually has decent products, but this one is a dud. I increased my rating to 2 stars because the build quality, sensor, and optics are pretty good. The trivial details of my living space have never before been captured in such high definition.

Sharp picture quality with natural colors. Plug-and-play on both Windows and Mac. Microphone picks up clearly, even without a headset. Low-light performance is much better than built-in laptop webcams. Works well for video calls and streaming. Mount is stable, doesn’t slip. connects seamlessly and has many options for adjusting to personal preferences with their app.

Works perfectly and the video quality is good.

Awesome investment. Excellent product. Work as stated. AI auto zoom and adjustment.

Bardzo dobra kamera internetowa. Dość duża ale bardzo estetyczna. Stópka regulująca możliwość powieszenia kamery na ekranie monitora, w dolnej części gwint do wkręcenia np w uchwyt, statyw. Kamera ma złącze USB-c w zestawie dość długi kabel. Fajnie, że jest aplikacja którą możemy zmieniać ustawienia kamery, od kąta obrazu do ostrości jasności itd. Dźwięk mikrofonu też bardzo znośny. Porządna kamera spelanajaca swoją funkcję. 60 klatek otrzymujemy przy rozdzielczości 1080p co jest super wystarczające. Jak ktoś szuka zamiennika do kamery w laptopie bądź ma już swoją wysłużoną, warto kupić.

I researched a lot and watched many reviews. I think this is still the best value for money, high quality webcam out there. Anker products are so well built, and I have no reason to believe this will not be more of the same. For 65e it is considered a cheap webcam, but the specs and very good Anker app make it easy to use and a joy to get set up just as I want it. Lots of FOV options, exposure adjustments, and basically almost all the features of the highest quality webcams out there. I would recommend a cheap tripod or webcam stand for your desk if you do not want the bulk on the top of your laptop screen permanently. Recommended.

Ho comprato questa webcam per delle registrazioni durante le sessioni di gioco da PC e devo dire che sono rimasto soddisfatto. Dopo varie prove posso affermare che la fotocamera migliora tanto di qualità se si ha una buona illuminazione ed esposizione, mentre se si vuole migliorare l'audio della propria voce, tramite l'apposito programma, bisogna settare il microfono su 90° anziché su 360°, infine se si vuole avere il massimo delle prestazioni, bisogna collegarla ad una usb 3.0. L'autofocus è buono e non mi ha mai dato problemi e la qualità costruttiva è molto buona. Che dire la fotocamera mi ha soddisfatto, considerando anche il prezzo, inoltre il servizio clienti è fantastico, perché ho avuto problemi con il primo ordine, in quanto mi era arrivata una webcam difettata di fabbrica e dopo aver scritto al servizio clienti, mi hanno risposto immediatamente e ci siamo accordati per la sostituzione e questa è avvenuta in tempi brevissimi. Conclusioni: buona qualità video e audio, buoni materiali costruttivi e servizio clienti molto efficiente
