UGREEN CM678 Full HD 1080p USB Webcam is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 3,000, located at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. The CM678 produces 1920x1080 video at 30 frames per second through a 2MP CMOS sensor, paired with two built-in omnidirectional microphones rated for clear voice pickup up to 3 metres from the unit. The 2-metre USB-A cable connects to any Windows 7 or newer PC, macOS 10.6 or newer Mac, Linux desktop, Chrome OS device, or Android 5.0+ system without driver downloads.
Mascom International stocks the UGREEN CM678 for Kenyan home-office workers, university lecturers running hybrid classes, small business owners hosting Zoom meetings, online tutors teaching CBC and IGCSE syllabuses, and IT departments fitting out boardroom desktops that lack built-in cameras. The webcam solves the common problem of older HP, Dell, Lenovo, and assembled desktop computers shipping without integrated cameras, and replaces the grainy 480p webcams built into budget laptops with proper 1080p output that holds up on Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Zoom, Skype, and OBS Studio.
Unlike unbranded webcams flooding Kenyan online marketplaces at KSh 1,500 to KSh 2,500, the UGREEN CM678 carries a verified 12-month manufacturer warranty backed by Mascom International's Nairobi CBD service desk. Users consistently report that the automatic light correction handles Kenya's mixed indoor lighting conditions, including tube-lit offices and naturally lit home setups during cloudy mornings or harsh afternoon sun coming through windows. Walk into our Kimathi Street store any weekday to test the UGREEN CM678 on your own laptop before paying, or order today for countrywide pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties.
Frequently Asked Questions About the UGREEN CM678
What resolution and frame rate does the UGREEN CM678 webcam produce?
The UGREEN CM678 outputs Full HD 1920x1080 video at a steady 30 frames per second through its 2MP CMOS sensor. This matches the resolution standard expected by Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and Skype for clear participant video on shared screens. The 30fps frame rate keeps motion natural during hand gestures, head movement, and presentations without the stuttering common to cheaper 720p webcams. For users moving up from a 480p or 720p laptop camera, the jump to 1080p is immediately visible to meeting participants as sharper facial detail and readable text on whiteboards behind you.
Does the UGREEN CM678 work without installing drivers on Windows or Mac?
Yes, the UGREEN CM678 is fully plug-and-play through standard USB 2.0 with zero driver installation required. Plug the 2-metre cable into any available USB-A port and the operating system recognises the webcam within seconds. The CM678 works on Windows 7, Windows 10, Windows 11, macOS 10.6 and newer, all major Linux distributions, Chrome OS, and Android 5.0 or newer through OTG adapters. This matters for Kenyan offices running mixed hardware, including older Windows 7 desktops at small businesses and university computer labs that cannot easily install new drivers.
How well do the built-in microphones capture voice in a busy Kenyan home office?
The UGREEN CM678 carries two built-in omnidirectional microphones with a rated pickup range of up to 3 metres, supported by 2D digital noise reduction that filters out ambient sounds. In practice, the mics handle solo speakers within arm's reach of the desktop comfortably for Zoom calls and Google Meet sessions. Users in noisier environments, including home offices near busy Nairobi roads or rooms with running fans during hot afternoons, may still benefit from a separate USB headset for important client calls where voice clarity matters most.
Can I mount the UGREEN CM678 on a laptop, monitor, or camera tripod?
The CM678 includes a flexible clip base that securely attaches to laptop lids up to about 1.5 centimetres thick, standard monitors with thin bezels, all-in-one desktops, and flat tabletops. The bottom of the clip carries a standard 1/4-20 threaded mount, the same size used on camera tripods, so you can attach the webcam to any photography tripod or desk-mount arm for elevated angles. The webcam itself rotates 360 degrees on its hinge, letting you point it at the speaker, the whiteboard, or a document on the desk during demonstration calls.
How does the 85-degree field of view compare to other budget webcams in Kenya?
The UGREEN CM678 carries an 85-degree diagonal field of view, which translates to 75 degrees horizontal and 45 degrees vertical. This is wider than the typical 60 to 70 degrees on basic laptop cameras and matches what most mid-priced webcams from Logitech and Anker offer. The wider angle fits two people comfortably in frame for joint client calls or small-group home setups, but stays narrow enough to keep the background tidy. Sharpness holds steady between 0.5 metres and 5 metres from the lens, with fixed focus tuned for typical desk-seated distances.
Will the UGREEN CM678 work with Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, and OBS for streaming?
The UGREEN CM678 appears as a standard UVC USB camera, which means every video conferencing and streaming application recognises it automatically. Tested compatibility includes Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Skype, Cisco Webex, Discord, Slack huddles, OBS Studio for live streaming, Streamlabs, and XSplit. Inside each application, select "UGREEN CM678" or "USB HD Webcam" under camera settings and "USB Microphone" under audio inputs. The webcam also works as a security camera through free software like iSpy or Yawcam on Windows.
How does automatic light correction help in Kenyan lighting conditions?
The UGREEN CM678 carries digital wide dynamic range (DRC) processing that adjusts colour temperature and exposure in real time based on the lighting hitting the sensor. In Kenyan offices, this matters because lighting shifts throughout the day, from cool morning natural light through warm fluorescent tube light to harsh equatorial afternoon sun. The DRC keeps faces properly exposed without going too dark in dim corners or blown-out in bright window light. For best results, position the webcam so the main light source falls on your face rather than behind your head.
Why buy the UGREEN CM678 from Mascom International rather than online marketplaces?
Mascom International stocks the UGREEN CM678 at KSh 3,000 with countrywide pay-on-arrival delivery, removing the prepayment risk that online marketplace sellers force on buyers. You inspect the sealed retail box, plug the webcam into your own laptop, confirm video and audio work, and only then hand over payment. Our Nairobi CBD location at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street lets walk-in buyers test the webcam on a demonstration laptop before purchase. Every CM678 sold ships with the full 12-month UGREEN manufacturer warranty, processed directly from our Nairobi service desk.
