The 2K version of our best webcam pick is down to $77, and even I'm tempted by its cute robotic face

Wait 5 sec.

Pixy Dual-Camera PTZ: was $89.99 now $76.94Aww, look at this little fella. This is the 2K version of the 4K EMeet Pixy we reviewed last year, and it did so well, we ended up placing it at the top of our best webcam guide. And as for the lesser resolution of this model? Honestly, most people don't really need a 4K webcam. This motorised model is still cute as a button, and now comes at a much more attractive price.Key specs: Up to 2K 30 fps / 1080p 60 fps | 2.55-inch Sony sensor | Motorised tracking | AI-assisted focusView DealHardened cynic that I am, I have to admit that even I'm not immune to the charms of this EMeet Pixy webcam. Especially now it's down to $77 at Amazon. And this motorised, auto-tracking little fella is something of a marvel—even if it does make use of that most dreaded of features, AI integration.This particular model is the 2K resolution variant, which probably explains why it's on discount. Here's a secret, though: most people really don't need a 4K webcam.Check out the latest Black Friday PC gaming deals and join us on WhatsApp for daily deals.Just ask our James, who reviewed the 4K model of the EMeet Pixy last year. He enjoyed its gesture-tracking ways and the surprisingly good microphone, but came away with the impression that its 4K sensor was pretty unnecessary for most. This one is 2K, cheaper, and makes a whole lot of sense.What you get for your cash here, then, is a dual camera system that makes use of one Sony 2.55-inch sensor for imaging, and another for detecting face position. And yes, the little Pixy can follow your face around the room while adjusting focus intelligently, and no, that's not as creepy as it initially sounds.FutureFutureFutureFutureFutureThe tracking and focus features are enhanced by AI, which is normally a bit of a red flag for me, but James assures me that both work very well. If you make presentations from your home office while moving around, or tend to get a bit agitated with your movements while you stream, the little Pixy is designed to keep up with you. Bless it.I say little. Given the twin-camera head unit and the motorisation, the Pixy is surprisingly small. But it's still a lot bulkier than a standard webcam, so that's something to take into account if you plan on strapping one to the top of your monitor. It's also worth noting that it records or streams 2K video at 30 fps, but it can also handle 1080p/60 fps, which should be more than enough for most people. We've put the EMeet Pixy 4K at the top of our best webcam guide, but that's not just because of its resolution. Which means this much cheaper, lower-res model is a canny pick.For this sort of price, I reckon some of you might want to pick one up just for the novelty of the thing. Even I'm tempted to stick one in my basket, and my heart runs as cold as the empty vacuums of the great beyond.
