Steven, I'm still confused about this statement regarding products when I didn't receive the item that was described: 2．Are Products Guaranteed / Is There A Warranty? Yes, everything you buy from tomtop.com has a guarantee of quality and will exactly match the description on the website. Can you please explain to me what happens when you (TomTop) don't exactly match the description on the website? Please advise. Regards Gavin

Dear Gavin Sorry for this inconvenience. The item stopped production and we did not sale it again. How about giving you the 500 shopping points ?? The item is 1080 p. We have checked it with the related staff. Best regards Steven

Dear Steven, I see the camera is still advertised for sale on your website but you are telling me that it has stopped production? https://www.tomtop.com/p-d5960s-1.html?utm_source=tradetracker&utm_campaign=de Does that mean you are still selling the advertised camera, that only records in 480 and not 1080p resolution?

It’s not

even with prime Estimated delivery: 6 Sept. 2018 - 13 Sept. 2018, But still hot at that price. thanks for posting

I assume this isn't windows hello capable?

Very hot. I bought previous version couple of years ago. One of my the best buys.

Great deal. Thank you!

is it with SHDD or SSD? (skeptical)

Wow, you're really going at it with all the used deals aren't you XD

Just look at that new seller's storefront - loads of items at prices that indeed are too good to be true. I'm 99% sure ordering anything from that seller will result in a no-delivery and having to claim a refund as it'll be a scam.

Nope. Intel is expected to announce a whole new bunch of processors in September/October the i9 will have come down to “regular” consumer (whatever that means) in all categories, their next launch. I’m stopping myself from going for a new Desktop (long overdue, current is a decade old) till September/October. Then I could invest in current highest spec Intel (which will have been a “previous” version by then). Heat added for someone looking for now, though.

The I7 similar spec version is only £650 new from a marketplace dealer (must be a mistake surely https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B071ZPXBNS/ref=olp_twister_child?ie=UTF8&mv_size_name=0&mv_style_name=2

“Let there be light,” and there was light. Thanks

Ups...something went wrong...

Slightly cheaper than the usual sale price. Was gonna go for the version up with the background removal feature but apparently it's buggy as hell so this will work fine. Cheers!

A bit harsh

Yes it would be appalling to think of an 11 year old being exposed to such filth

I think the ability to use on planes and trains on tiny seat back tray tables is something some people look for. It's also nice to have a device that can be charged with a phone charger/power bank.

Nothing worst than a rusty tablet.

"And it's Aluminium so it wont rust any time soon!" LOL. I've got to hit you a hot just for that comment! XD

What reviews? I haven't read anything bad about this model

Fantastic little camera full HD and quick to set up with a QR code that you scan with your phone/tablet.

With the reviews this thing gets £70 seems over priced

Dur. Thanks.

Er... is that a good price..? :|

Mine also came very quickly.

Chromebook arrived today. It's mint & I'm well pleased with it, thanks for posting. It also had 4GB of RAM - I was expecting the standard poverty-spec 2GB!

Looks like an excellent site

Sorry, FORNEWCUSTOMER was the code and guess there wasnt many in stock. Will expire shortly. If you look around the site theres lots of other bargains. Code works for all as far as I know.

Definitely OOS now.

Been waiting months. I checked on 20th and did not see this for £30! damnit

Try plugging into USB 2 rather than 3. That seems to resolve problems some users face, including me!

Was waiting for this to come down again - missed it. Will have to wait until next time now looks like it comes down fairly often though.

Bought this last year for this price based on reviews and the Zeiss name, used it once then my daughter quit college in Canada and that was that . The reviews I saw were branded Zeiss for the optics but the one I got wasn't. Not sure what difference there is between Zeiss and non Zeiss but that's a name you'd want on a webcam lens.

If you can do with a smaller screen, this is a better deal. Also with Android on Stable channel. https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/asus-c101pa-fs002-101-inch-touchscreen-chromebook-flip-silver-op1-processor-4gb-ram-16gb-emmc-101-360-degree-rotatable-touchscreen-chrome-os-24999-amazon-2894141 https://www.asus.com/uk/2-in-1-PCs/ASUS-Chromebook-Flip-C101PA/

Ahh that’s brilliant thanks, may be worth considering then

Yes, i have a 2015 chromebook pixel. Sky Q works without any issues via the play store.

Does the sky q app work and play on chrome books that have android app access? That would be the big consideration otherwise no point for me as I’d get more overall value from a android tablet with keyboard

This Cromebook was listed on HUKD in November for £129.99 (Currys) The Good news is that it has Android apps on the Stable channel You should not buy a Chromebook unless it has Android apps or planned. Sorry Cold for me on price alone. Possible to buy a more up to date Chromebook for a little more.

Warning to anyone considering purchasing this chromebook it is about to reach end of life support it's Chrome OS Auto Update Expiration date is June 2018 this means after this date google will not guarantee that the device will receive future updates to chrome os on this device. Googles explanation of this: When a device reaches Auto Update Expiration (AUE), it means that the product model is considered obsolete and automatic software updates from Google are no longer guaranteed. https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/6220366?hl=en

You can get an X240 for that money?! Christ. I want the proper keyboard tho...

X240. Going to be way more capable than this. I got mine for £150 with free postage. Works like a dream, and if you're a bit handy, you can do a BIOS mod to remove the whitelist, and it'll make a slightly heavier HackBook Air-ish.

OK that's fair enough, no issues with that. I think it's more productive to tell people the pros and cons regarding Chromebooks. Here's mine > Pros: Very quick boot time, under 10 seconds usually. Very fast for web browsing. As essentially ChromeOS is a web browser first before anything else Security Eventual Google Play Store support see > https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/chrome-os-systems-supporting-android-apps and > https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/7021273 Cons: Skype - there's workarounds. I'm not up to date as to whether it works from Google Play Store iTunes - https://www.techjunkie.com/itunes-chromebook/

I like Chromebooks and have had two. I think the 4GB is close to essential. Ideally, you'd also have a nice HD screen. With that combo they're really good day to day workhorse machines when used properly, i.e. you don't buy a 2Gb option for editing movies for cinema ;-) Heat applied ...

lol - it's a secret

Picked this up for 20 odd quid last year, good quality camera, quite long time to adjust to light changes, but very decent for the price. Havent tried streaming games yet but have thought about it, any ideas on how to get myself started? Cheers

What's your YouTube channel name?

Whatever you say. I am going to be multi millionaire and drive a Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita, all from that AdSense monaaayyyyyy

Effectively the same as pointing at a premiereship footballer and saying - there you go Little Johnny, you can earn millions playing football too. Lot of people wasting their lives trying to be youtube stars. Good hobby though, teaches public speaking and builds confidence. Don't expect to be a millionaire :)

Cold! I got some from eBay for £2.48 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-Pcs-Pack-Webcam-Cover-Slider-Camera-Shield-for-Laptop-Pad-Tablet-Phone-Privacy/302533321194?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649

Hurry up, 2% already claimed, you'll miss out (shock)

https://xkcd.com/525/

Oh well if Edward nowden says so...

R11 has arrived and I can confirm it is 4GB RAM :)

That hasn't arrived yet. Coming separately for some reason. The EAN code on Very site I googled though and on other sites it is 4GB so should be ok I reckon, if not going back.

And the R11, Is it the 4GB version? I power washed my R13 and it updated to the latest firmware with added security.

R13 arrived today from Very and really impressed. God quality feel to it and perfectly fast enough for my daughter for homework and surfing the net etc. Had to update firmware first to allow Google Play Store.

Thanks, can't believe I missed that. The touchscreen has got to be better suited to a Chromebook, best cancel my order (embarrassed)

if anyone has bought this and would like to sell it I will take it for £35 if that's OK, you'd be doing me a huge favour thanks

Looking at your photos.I would say this would be like comparing B/W CRT on your phone to 4K with B20

Watching this countdown trying to convince myself I really don't need this, knowing that I'm going to buy it anyway, in the last minute (excited)

I'm tempted to buy one, should work fine in a cupboard, Oh sorry, study.

Voted hot . But I use mobile to do video chat . Can this be better than mobile front selfie camera ?

This is a great webcam. It is worth this price but sells for cheaper. If you can't wait and need one I'd suggest getting it as it's the best one.

Your words look nice.

If they externally designed it well you would presume it was internally also designed well?

I agree - wait until Black Friday. I also picked one up last year for half price and will get another one this year for my work PC if they are down again. There is also a newer C922 out for not much more. Hopefully this will also get a price slash or at least make Amazon sell off the 920 for even less C920 vs C922

It looks nice.

Currently it's just a case of putting a few files on an SD card. That gives root telnet access and blocks the software from communicating out whilst still having the RTSP server. Check out the github page, I've updated a few bits and @djwillis has done some great work which will soon be merged.

Thanks, really appreciate your input and knowledge, I'll use that script when you get round to it, thanks again! (highfive)

It is not more or less secure than most of the cheap 'mobile app needed' webcams ;). Personally, I don't feel it is secure and the sketchy p2pcam binary is bit of a mess. That said, if you are happy to lock down the hosts so it does not spam out requests all over the shop, change the root (will commit a nicer script to do that and a few other things when I get a few hours) and forgo the app in favour of using the RTSP streams you could definitely use it. Like anything in life it is a risk and balance setup. What do you want to use it for and what is the risk. As so many of these platforms share common setups and SoC's I can see an open source camera focused distribution turning up at some point once you get a critical mass of people hacking about but the lack of kernel sources and the like are a massive barrier to that.

So I should just bin this? No way to update/make secure?

https://github.com/ant-thomas/zsgx1hacks Very interesting. there is an image to record on the SD card and to make the changes you have made?. At the moment I use tinycam although it takes the image to appear, the camera is insecure and the sound does not work. tutoria youtube would be great!!

tinca try reading my reply pertaining to Amazon

Why is this cold? a) Its not an Apple macbook pro b) You can't play 'Grand Theft Auto 99' on it c) Its more clever than the people voting it cold

spend a little more on Amazon, I3 is not out of reach

All cheap laptops are a risk but Acer especially (in my experience). A possible alternative - saves £45 is this HP. It will be faster but has limited space for music, videos, documents. Oh, and the retailer is Ebuyer. https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/hp-255-g5-laptop-1lu04es-4gb-ram-128gb-ssd-win-10-269-delivered-ebuyer-2748455
