One of the cheapest Full HD webcams is getting even cheaper! For 400 CZK, you get manual focus and a microphone

A webcam for work calls for four hundred CZK. Eternico ET201 is on Alza for 419 CZK with code ALZADNY30. You plug it into USB, it works on Windows, Linux, and macOS without driver installation, and for Teams or Zoom calls, the image is better than from most built-in cameras in laptops. Over 10,000 units sold and a rating of 4.2 out of 5 shows that it fulfills its purpose for most people — but reviews are more contradictory than for other products, so let’s be honest.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense as a basic webcam for work video calls, online learning, or SCIO tests — plug & play, decent image in good lighting, and a wide 106° field of view.
⚠️ Consider that the image quality matches the price — in poorer light, the image is grainy, the microphone is weaker than a built-in laptop microphone, and some users report disconnection issues.
💡 For 419 CZK you get Full HD at 30 fps, 106° field of view, manual focus, a flexible mount with a 1/4″ tripod thread, and USB 2.0 connectivity.

Who it’s for and who it’s not for

If you have a desktop without a camera and simply need to function on video calls, the ET201 will serve its purpose. The image in good lighting is sufficient for a work call — colleagues will see you sharply and in natural colors. The wide 106° field of view is useful when you sit close to the monitor or need to capture more space (e.g., for SCIO tests with an ID card). Manual focusing with the ring on the lens allows precise focusing at a specific distance. It works on Windows, Linux, Raspberry Pi, and macOS without any setup.

However, if you’re shooting YouTube videos, streaming, or need quality comparable to a MacBook camera — this is not your camera. Several users write that the image is grainy and blurry even in good light. The built-in microphone is functional, but the volume is low — colleagues will have to get used to it. There’s no indicator LED or lens cap. And isolated reviews report disconnection and compatibility issues. For double the price, you can buy a Logitech that doesn’t have these problems — but for 419 CZK, the ET201 is the cheapest reasonable option.

What webcam do you use for work calls? Is the built-in one enough, or do you have an external one?
