Microsoft LifeCam HD-5000

The Microsoft LifeCam HD-5000 is a high-definition webcam originally designed and produced by Microsoft, a global leader in software and consumer electronics. The hardware features 720p HD sensor technology and was part of Microsoft's broader expansion into computer peripherals during the late 2000s and early 2010s to complement its Windows operating system. Like most consumer electronic peripherals from major tech companies, the hardware is manufactured in China. Microsoft continues to be the ultimate owner and developer of the Lifecam series, maintaining its headquarters in Redmond, Washington, USA. The brand has evolved as Microsoft transitioned more into cloud services and higher-end hardware like the Surface line.
