Elgato Facecam 4K: price & specs

Specifications

Source: elgato.com (read 2026-09-21). The official Elgato product/store page (elgato.com/us/en/p/facecam-4k) confirmed the full Tech Specs: Sony STARVIS 2 CMOS 1/1.8" sensor, 4K video up to 2160p60 (max_resolution 4K, max_fps 60), 90-degree field of view, Fixed focus type (autofocus false), HDR supported up to 2160p30 (hdr true), and no built-in microphone — the page states the hardware is "stripped of wasteful parts like a microphone" and the FAQ confirms no mic. The compare table lists the privacy cover as "Cap (Accessory)," a separate $4.99 add-on rather than a built-in shutter, and the In The Box list (Facecam 4K, monitor mount, USB-C cable) includes no cover, so privacy_shutter is false. Price $199.99 is displayed on the same store page. No release date appears anywhere on the page, so releaseDate and the release spec are null; retailer corroboration could not be captured (Newegg returned 0 results, Best Buy timed out, B&H returned 403, Walmart bot-blocked), so corroboration is null. Adversarial re-fetch on 2026-07-08 re-confirmed every non-null spec value, priceUsd, and null releaseDate verbatim against the fetched page; exact model Facecam 4K (SKU 10WAF9901) confirmed, not a sibling variant.
