Mascom International stocks the UGREEN CM678 Webcam at KSh 3,000, a Full HD 1080P camera that records at 30 frames per second through an 85-degree wide-angle lens. The UGREEN CM678 Webcam also carries two built-in noise-cancelling microphones that pick up speech from up to 3 metres away, so you need no separate headset for most calls. It connects over USB with no driver installation on Windows, macOS, Linux and Android. Every unit is brand new and sealed. Pick up the UGREEN CM678 Webcam at our Old Mutual Building shop on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order delivery to your county.
Designed for university students, job seekers, teachers and remote workers, the UGREEN CM678 Webcam handles the daily video calls that built-in laptop cameras often spoil. Many older laptops, including popular used business models, carry 720p cameras that look soft and grainy under the fluorescent lights of a Nairobi office or a hostel room at Kenyatta University. Desktop PCs often have no camera at all. Clip the UGREEN CM678 Webcam to your screen and you get a sharper 1080P picture, a wider frame for group calls, and microphones that catch your voice from across a desk.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell unbranded webcams with no stated specs, Mascom International sells UGREEN, a known accessory brand, with the resolution, lens angle and microphone range stated up front. At Mascom International, we're seeing steady demand from students preparing for online interviews and small firms equipping reception PCs for client calls. At KSh 3,000, the UGREEN CM678 Webcam gives proper 1080P video, and the 2K and 4K UGREEN models sit beside it on the same shelf. Test it in store on our display laptop, or order it on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery.
Common Questions About the UGREEN CM678 Webcam
What is the UGREEN CM678 Webcam price in Kenya?
The UGREEN CM678 Webcam sells for KSh 3,000 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, brand new and sealed. The price includes a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties, and you can pay by M-Pesa or cash. It sits KSh 2,500 below the UGREEN CM778 Webcam (2K, KSh 5,500) and KSh 2,000 below the UGREEN CM831 Webcam (4K, KSh 5,000), both also in stock, which matters if your calls rarely need more than Full HD.
Should I buy the UGREEN CM678 Webcam or spend more on the UGREEN CM778 Webcam?
The UGREEN CM678 Webcam records 1080P Full HD, while the UGREEN CM778 Webcam records 2K QHD at 2560 x 1440 and adds autofocus, for KSh 2,500 more. Both run at 30 frames per second with an 85-degree lens and dual microphones. Most video platforms send calls at 1080P or lower, so for Zoom classes and Teams meetings the CM678 covers the need. Choose the CM778 if you record tutorials, hold documents up to the lens, or want extra detail for cropping.
Will the UGREEN CM678 Webcam work during KPLC power cuts and on mobile data?
Yes, the UGREEN CM678 Webcam draws its power from the laptop's USB port, so it keeps working on battery when KPLC power drops. It needs no adapter or socket of its own. On Safaricom or Airtel Kenya mobile data, your video app adjusts quality to the connection, so the camera still works on a modest bundle. On home fibre in Kilimani or South B, you get the full 1080P picture. Lowering video quality in the app settings saves bundles on long calls.
Who should buy the UGREEN CM678 Webcam, and who should skip it?
The UGREEN CM678 Webcam suits students, job seekers, teachers, call centre staff and offices kitting out desktop PCs for everyday meetings. Skip it if you stream on YouTube or TikTok, film product demos, or present printed documents on camera, because it has no stated autofocus. Content creators get more from the UGREEN CM778 Webcam with 2K and autofocus, or the UGREEN CM831 Webcam with 4K, both at Mascom International. Existing 1080P laptop camera owners gain little beyond a better angle.
Does the UGREEN CM678 Webcam need any software or drivers?
No, the UGREEN CM678 Webcam is plug and play: connect it to a USB port and your computer recognises it as a camera and microphone within seconds. It works on Windows 7 and later, macOS 10.6 and later, Linux, and Android 5.0 and later. That covers older office desktops still running Windows 7 in many Kenyan government and school offices, as well as current laptops. In Zoom, Teams or Google Meet, select the UGREEN camera and microphone in the settings menu.
How well do the UGREEN CM678 Webcam microphones pick up voices?
The UGREEN CM678 Webcam has two built-in stereo microphones with noise cancelling, rated to pick up speech up to 3 metres away. That means a speaker sitting back from the desk, or two people sharing one screen, still come through. Noise cancelling reduces steady background sound such as a fan or distant traffic from Moi Avenue. For loud open-plan offices or call centres, a headset still gives cleaner audio, and the camera works alongside one without any conflict.
Is the UGREEN CM678 Webcam good enough for virtual court sessions and online job interviews?
Yes, the UGREEN CM678 Webcam gives advocates and job seekers a sharper, steadier picture than most older laptop cameras for formal video sessions. Kenyan courts have used virtual hearings since 2020, and many employers in Nairobi now run first-round interviews on Zoom or Teams. The 1080P image shows your face clearly, and the wide lens frames you with room to spare. Sit facing a window or lamp, since good front lighting matters more than resolution for looking professional on screen.
Can the UGREEN CM678 Webcam be angled for a desk or a group table?
The UGREEN CM678 Webcam turns through 360 degrees and tilts 15 degrees up or down, so you can aim it without moving your monitor. That helps when two or three colleagues in an Industrial Area office share one screen for a supplier call, or when a teacher wants to show a whiteboard behind the desk. The 85-degree field of view takes in more of the room than a narrow laptop camera, so fewer people sit half out of frame.
Technical Specifications
Core Function
- 1080P Full HD video at 1920 x 1080 — a sharper picture than the 720p cameras found in many older laptops and budget all-in-one PCs.
- 30 frames per second — smooth, natural movement on Zoom, Teams, Google Meet and WhatsApp desktop calls without jerky motion.
- 85-degree wide-angle lens — frames your head and shoulders with room to spare, or fits two to three people around one screen.

- Works as a standard USB camera and microphone — any video app that sees a webcam will see this one, with nothing extra to install.
Compatibility
- Windows 7 and later — covers older office desktops still in service as well as current Windows 10 and Windows 11 laptops.
- macOS 10.6 and later — works with MacBook and iMac computers for an external camera position or a second angle.

- Android 5.0 and later — can connect to some Android tablets and TV boxes through a suitable USB adapter, depending on the device.

Build

Package Contents
Inside the sealed UGREEN box you get the UGREEN CM678 Webcam and a user manual. The USB connection is part of the camera, so there is no separate cable to lose, and no software disc because none is needed. Pair it with any laptop or desktop that has a free USB port. If your laptop has only USB-C ports, Mascom International stocks USB-C to USB-A adapters and hubs so the camera connects without trouble.
Warranty
The UGREEN CM678 Webcam carries a 6-month Mascom International warranty covering manufacturing defects under normal use. If the camera or microphones develop a factory fault within that time, bring the webcam and your receipt to our service desk in the Old Mutual Building, Nairobi CBD, where every claim is handled.
