It may seem like a daunting task to sort through it all, but whichever webcam you’re after, you can be sure that you’re getting the most out of your money with these extended Prime Day deals — but you’ll have to act fast. Don’t fret, though: There are also the Staples Prime Day Sale, Walmart Deals for Days sale, and Best Buy Prime deals still going on, too.

Once you’ve upgraded your webcam with one of these remaining Prime Day webcam deals (which we’ve taken the liberty of rounding up below), you might also want to take a look at what other office accessories you can purchase to make life easier. A few examples that are still up for grabs include these Prime Day monitor deals, Prime Day wireless mouse deals, Prime Day wireless keyboard deals, Prime Day router deals, Prime Day external hard drive deals, and Prime Day printer deals. While you’re at it, you might even think about buying a new computer from these Prime Day PC deals and Prime Day laptop deals if your entire setup could use a refresh.

Best Prime Day webcam deals still available

Should you buy a new webcam after Prime Day?

They don’t look like it, but webcams have become one of the most important accessories for computers, especially for those who are working from home or attending online classes. You should also know that laptops need better webcams, so it’s always recommended that you buy a separate webcam instead of relying on the webcam that’s installed above your laptop’s screen. Additionally, if you bought a PC and it came with a webcam, it’s most likely a basic one that won’t serve you well in the long run. If you take advantage of these remaining Prime Day webcam deals, you won’t regret it because you’ll be enjoying an improved device, and your co-workers and teachers will appreciate that they can see you more clearly.

If you’re a streamer, it’s especially important to buy the webcam with the best quality that you can afford so that your audience won’t lose interest because of a pixelated video feed. If you couldn’t buy a new webcam in the past because of budget issues, then that’s all the more reason you should take advantage of any remaining Prime Day webcam deals you can find. There’s still no better time than now to upgrade your webcam, especially with the discounts now being offered by multiple retailers — not only Amazon.

With the sheer number of webcams on the market, there are sure to be similar discounts in future shopping events such as Black Friday and Cyber Monday. However, if you’re hoping for even lower prices, there’s no guarantee that webcam prices will fall further than where they are for Prime Day. Additionally, you need to think about how many times you’ll be using your basic webcam between now and the next potential sale. There’s no sense in holding off on upgrading your webcam and suffering from using a low-quality one if you have the budget to buy now. If there are multiple family members at home who regularly use webcams, you might even want to pile up the savings by buying several webcams on Prime Day.

How to choose a webcam

There’s a very long list of devices that were featured in this year’s Prime Day webcam sales, so if you want to find the best webcam for you, you should start your due diligence right away. You don’t want to spend hours figuring out the webcam that you want to buy only to be heartbroken by sold-out inventory because other shoppers were faster to make their purchase.

The most popular brands for webcams include Logitech, Razer, Microsoft, and Asus, among others. Logitech, however, dominates Digital Trends’ selections of the best webcams, so if you see a discount for one of the Logitech webcams on this list, you might want to grab it right away, as you’ll be getting a highly recommended device. The primary selling points of webcams are their resolution and frame rate, and if you want the absolute best quality, go for 4K resolution and 60 frames per second. However, this leads to the next thing that you need to consider when buying a webcam — its purpose. If you’re a streamer, you’d like to get the highest resolution and frame rate that you can afford. However, if it’s only for video calls and online group meetings, 1080p resolution and 30 fps should be more than enough.

In choosing the device to buy from the remaining Prime Day webcam deals, you should also be on the lookout for special features that differentiate the webcam from others. For example, you might want to buy a webcam with built-in microphones if you don’t like using headsets, or one with built-in lighting to highlight your face while streaming in a low-light environment. Some webcams also come with software for customizing your backgrounds, which should come in handy if your room isn’t as tidy as it should be when a meeting is called. You should also make sure that the mounting option of the webcam that you’re looking to buy will work with wherever you’re planning to attach it, and for security purposes, you might also want a webcam with a physical shutter that can cover the lens when it’s not in use.
