Method: Independently re-verified 2026-08-16 against manufacturer/official-store pages (IPEVO US spec+store pages, ELMO USA, HoverCam buy-store, AVer USA, AVer Global presentation site plus AVer's official U50 datasheet, Okiolabs) with authorized-reseller listings (AVLGear, EasyGraphics, TTWarehouse) used to corroborate price or fill gaps for discontinued/legacy units (Elmo MX-P3, HoverCam Ultra 8, AVer U50, IPEVO Ziggi-HD Plus). Corrections applied this pass: ELMO MX-P3 max_resolution_mp 12.1->13 (ELMO's page states effective pixels 4160x3120 ~= 12.98MP, i.e. 13MP-class); AVer U50 priceUsd->null (EOL 2015 model, no manufacturer MSRP; the cited B&H listing returned HTTP 403 and no published USD price was independently confirmable) and its shooting area tightened to the datasheet's 19.02x14.25 in, with corroboration swapped to AVer's official U50 datasheet. The requested 'Okiolabs A3 Pro' does not exist under that name on Okiolabs' site; retained the substitution with Okiolabs' real A3-format flagship OKIOCAM T4K (verified on Okiolabs' product page). IPEVO VZ-R/VZ-X built-in microphone and LED lamp are documented model features but are not itemized on the current spec/store pages, so they are retained on that basis rather than re-sourced. Capture areas given in inches (mm where the source stated them); connectivity and zoom_type are free-text because doc cams mix optical/digital/ASR multipliers; boolean fields set only where a source confirmed presence/absence, else null. accessedAt 2026-08-16.
