look today I'm gonna be doing another unboxing I'm a Microsoft webcam so this is a Microsoft LifeCam HD 5000 it features sharp video with autofocus as well as true color which they explain a little bit better on the back now this isn't the first HD webcam from Microsoft but it is a new one so the old one has kind of as far as I can tell they have pretty similar specs but the older one has more like a barrel-shaped webcam shape so it's like well it's shaped like a barrel and then this one's more like a little a little brick okay so that's the biggest difference that I can tell right off of that here we go they have a little uh-oh you know what I think the one I looked at before was the LifeCam cinema but I'm not 100% sure so it looks like that one does have some benefits that this one doesn't such as a glass limbs aluminum body and clear frame technology whatever clear frame is so this one is also slightly lower resolution for the photos it's only four megapixel and it has a flexible base noise cancelling microphone sixteen by nine widescreen autofocus and true color technology so true color means that it is trying to retain truer colors as far as I can tell basically it's taking a dark shot and it's brightening it up a little bit or a bright shot and darkening it a little bit okay 16 by 9 widescreen is awesome if you have two people in the shot as Microsoft so kindly points out for us and then one what is this supposed to be that's a cupcake oh they're showing the focus right so it can focus on a cupcake and then it'll it'll smartly decide what is supposed to be in the focus of the shot so let's get this thing opened up and like I do with all of my camera unboxings I will actually shoot my next unboxing with the LifeCam HD 5000 or maybe it's not an unboxing I think I'm gonna do some other video but I'll shoot it with this so you will actually get a preview of what the video quality looks like for this camera so this box is like incredible look at this it comes apart in 18 million different pieces okay so why don't we first have a look at the accessories or other things that come with it here is the instruction Quick Start Guide one disc two plug in 3 put it there or there and 4 move it around a bit aim it I'm guessing is what they're trying to say next we have a life cam 3.0 software CD or DVD I can't tell it's probably a CD and then after that we have a Microsoft product guide which tells us all of the safety and ergonomics considerations webcam with magnetic and adhesive mounting and you know basically they're covering there but legally make sure that you know everything you need to know about the product ok so then you just slide the webcam out this way and then look at this box this box is incredible you know what I should just do the focus of this unboxing should be on the box not the webcam look at this thing it has like four different layers and it like folds in this way and then out that way and it has like a look oh there I finally figured out how it comes apart so the box is actually like this shape look at that I wouldn't be able to put this back together I'm not gonna be able to put this back together anyway here's the webcam so we'll just take the little plastic clamshell apart here and slide that you know I had a lot of trouble with this on the last one it's a good thing I've seen this before so you just take the little clamshell pieces off there and then we get down to the webcam itself so you can see it's it swivels as they pointed out on the on the box and then it doesn't actually tilt up and down but what you can do is you can adjust this flexible base I really like this mounting system because it means that you can just kind of sit it like this point it up at you or you can kind of move it around a little bit or you could put it like this if you felt like it and then I would sort of point this way or you could you could take oh no then I'd be upside down okay don't do that but it also has a little notch on the front so that you can easily sit it on top of almost any LCD monitor so it's it's wide enough that you can take even a wide LCD monitor like the camera man's and just mount it up on the top of the screen like that point it down it yourself and it's quite secure up there it's not gonna just randomly come down so I think that pretty much covers everything I wanted to say about the LifeCam HD 5000 it's HD and also there's appears to be like a video call button on the top and there's the microphone hole thank you for checking out my unboxing USB cable
