The Elgato Facecam 4K Studio Webcam is a compact 4K USB camera designed for high-quality streaming, presentations, and professional video calls. It captures up to UHD 4K at 60 fps via USB-C, delivering detailed, low-latency video with minimal compression for a clean and natural image.

At its core is a 1/1.8" Sony STARVIS 2 CMOS sensor paired with Elgato’s imaging pipeline, designed to maintain clarity in both bright and low-light environments. HDR support helps balance challenging lighting conditions, while a 90° field of view provides flexible framing for solo or small-group setups.

The camera is controlled through Elgato Camera Hub software, offering DSLR-style adjustments such as exposure control, PTZ framing, LUT-based colour grading, and background effects. Lens filter support adds further creative control over the final look.

How it works

The Facecam 4K Studio connects via USB-C and streams video directly to your computer. The Sony STARVIS 2 sensor captures detailed 4K footage, while onboard processing and the Camera Hub software handle exposure, colour tuning, and advanced image effects.

Autofocus keeps the subject sharp within a typical desk distance, while the 90° field of view allows for more background visibility or wider framing when needed. The system can be adjusted in real time using Camera Hub, with settings such as ISO, shutter speed, and colour grading available for more precise control. The camera can be mounted on a monitor or tripod using the integrated mount and 1/4"-20 thread, and includes a removable privacy shutter for convenience.

Why choose this product

It combines high-resolution 4K imaging with flexible software control, giving users more creative and technical control than a standard plug-and-play webcam. The larger sensor and HDR support help maintain image quality across changing lighting conditions, while Camera Hub enables a more cinematic, production-style workflow.
