Large camera sensor
Featuring a ½-inch sensor, the 4K webcam uses artificial intelligence to track users and keep them in frame, similar to Apple’s Center Stage software. The large sensor is especially useful if you’re in a dark environment. It also features phase-detection autofocus (PDAF) that brings subjects into focus quickly. The Insta360 Link uses a 26mm lens with an f/1.8 aperture that can record UHD 4K (3840 x 2160) at up to 30 fps. The webcam also supports HDR at 1080p and 720p.
