Elgato Facecam MK.2 (2023)

This premium 1080p60 streaming webcam captures uncompressed video over a 5 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 1 link, so a true USB 3.0 host port matters: drop it onto USB 2.0 and it falls back to compressed MJPEG. The cable is a detachable braided USB-A to USB-C, terminating in USB-C at the camera, which makes replacement easy. There is no HDMI or Ethernet here — a single USB connection carries both power and video.

Elgato’s 1080p60 streamer connects over a detachable USB 3.2 Gen 1 USB-C link, with USB-A at the host end for uncompressed capture.
