I've reviewed tons of 4K webcams, and this Emeet one with a Sony sensor and built-in gimbal is the best value thanks to two separate price cuts

The Yololiv Yolocam S3, Insta360 Link 2C (and Link 2), the Obsbot Meet 2 and Tiny 2 Lite; I’m even currently testing the Razer Kiyo V2. I’ve had my grubby mitts on so many 4K webcams, I’ve developed a good sense of what you should be paying for that resolution.

I even thought its price point was solid when it fetched $160, but I was happy to see that its listing on Amazon dropped to a base price of $100. That means, although you are only getting a $10 discount on paper, it’s $70 less than what you would pay for it just a short while ago. That means it even beats out the Obsbot Meet 2, which I praised for its “near unbeatable value” in early 2025.

The Sony sensor in the webcam is super solid, producing a clear and well-lit capture. As a point of comparison, I did find it brighter than the Obsbot Tiny 2 Lite, and I liked it less for that, but it has solid quality regardless of my personal preferences. I found it to pick up the texture of my hair better than the Tiny 2 Lite, though the Lite deals with light a bit better.

The webcam is sat on a gimbal, which means its solid AI tracking can literally follow you around the room, should you want it to. It also has a super quick autofocus, in case you find yourself in need of something that can lock onto you in a moment. This is all helped by the fact that it’s easy to set up and comes with a firm stand too.

Should you not want to clip it on top of a monitor, that stand also comes with threading, so you can pop it in a tripod. For a quick meeting, it’s arguably much better than what you will need, with its mic quality being surprisingly good. Some conference software packages don’t support 4K, so you may be forced to use the webcam at 1080p. However, that price is so good that it beats out non-4K options for the price, too (here’s looking at you, Razer Kiyo V2 X).

I did find its lack of a physical privacy filter a little annoying (you have to push the cam down or let the software do it for some privacy). I also find most of its AI features utterly pointless. It can generate rough scripts (that I found lacking in quality) and you can use hand gestures to operate it, but I’d generally recommend using the Pixy like a normal webcam and ignoring the AI functions entirely.

Still, as a standard webcam, with the option to pop it on for a live stream or even record a quick video, the Emeet Pixy punches far above its weight at this reduced price, and I can’t name a single 4K webcam that offers better value right now.
