THE SHORT ANSWER

Our take

The standalone AVerMedia PW313 is documented as a USB 2.0/UVC webcam with 1080p30 video, two mono microphones, fixed focus and a physical privacy shutter. AVerMedia also publishes a 720p60 mode, which does not make this a 1080p60 camera. The frozen row adds a PW313C suffix and historical ASIN that are not bridged to a precise offer, so use a model search.

Consider it for

A fixed desktop or streaming position where 1080p30, a lens shutter and basic built-in audio are useful..

Look elsewhere if

Not for a buyer who needs autofocus, 1080p60, a built-in light, confirmed shutter/audio coupling, or exact proof of the row's PW313C offer.

Pros & cons

What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.

What works in its favor

  • AVerMedia documents 1080p30 and a separate 720p60 mode.
  • A physical privacy shutter and two mono microphones are listed.
  • USB 2.0/UVC, formats, cable and a diagonal FOV measurement are available.

What to weigh up

  • The camera is fixed focus and does not provide 1080p60.
  • No integrated light or speaker is documented, and mic performance is not measured.
  • The PW313C suffix and B08KG77BRB historical ASIN are not cross-mapped.

What the features mean for you

Model and bundle boundary

AVerMedia names Live Streamer CAM 313 as model PW313. Its official manufacturer page supplies standalone camera specifications, while a separate bundle sheet also lists the PW313 mode table. The source row calls the product PW313C; no source reviewed here establishes what the final C denotes or connects historical ASIN B08KG77BRB to the precise model or regional package. The buying route therefore searches PW313. Keep it separate from AVerMedia BO311D, which adds a GC311 capture card, and BO317, which adds a separate AH313 headset. Those devices do not change the standalone camera's video mode.

Video modes and focus

AVerMedia's product page describes 1080p30 recording. The PW313 technical sheet lists 1080p30 and 720p60 modes, but no 1080p60. The different rates matter: 60 fps is available only at the lower documented 720p mode, while Full HD is 30 fps. Buyers who need smoother motion at 1080p should not rely on a generic 60FPS title or transfer modes from the separate GC311 capture device. The PW313 is fixed focus, with a stated 40 to 100 centimetre working distance. That suits a stable desk position better than frequent near/far changes that would benefit from autofocus.

Framing and placement

AVerMedia's FAQ specifies 65 degrees horizontal, 40 degrees vertical and 70 degrees diagonal. The diagonal measurement is the relevant one for a comparison asking whether a camera reaches 90 degrees diagonal; PW313 does not meet that wide-angle threshold. It swivels around its base and is described as tripod-ready, giving the owner manual positioning options. Swiveling is not proof of a motorized pan/tilt head or automatic presenter tracking. The sources do not report room-coverage tests or measured distortion. Place it where the fixed-focus working range suits the user, and confirm the included mount and cable in the exact offer.

Privacy, audio and lighting

The PW313 has a built-in privacy shutter that covers the lens, a useful documented feature for a desk camera that stays attached. The specification does not say that closing the shutter disables the microphones. AVerMedia identifies two built-in microphones and labels them mono; the camera is not documented with a built-in speaker. Pickup distance, audio noise rejection and call quality are not measured here. The product page and specification list do not document an integrated ring light, so no light is counted. A separate headset in a bundle is a distinct device, not an upgrade to the webcam's own audio path.

Connection and intended buyer

AVerMedia documents USB 2.0/UVC, MJPEG and YUY2 formats, a 1.5-metre cable, 1/2.7-inch 2MP sensor and listed working range. Its broad compatibility information does not guarantee every present application or device combination. Connector shape and exact candidate package are not established. PW313 can fit someone who wants Full HD at 30fps, a shutter and simple integrated audio. It is not ideal if autofocus, 1080p60, tracking, speaker playback or integrated light is essential. This is a specification-based review without personal picture/audio testing, customer-review synthesis, current price, stock or sales claims.

What else to compare

For 1080p60 plus an integrated ring light compare NexiGo N620E; for a wider fixed-focus frame see NexiGo N60.

Before you buy

Does PW313 support 1080p60?

No. AVerMedia lists 1080p30 and a separate 720p60 mode, not 1080p60.

Is the 65-degree field diagonal?

No. AVerMedia labels 65° horizontal and lists 70° as the diagonal field.

Does closing the privacy shutter mute audio?

AVerMedia documents a lens shutter, but the saved specification does not say it stops microphone capture.

Are the two microphones stereo?

AVerMedia describes two built-in microphones and labels them mono; no measured audio performance is provided.
