THE SHORT ANSWER

Our take

Lenovo's 500 FHD is a documented UVC camera with a 1920×1080 resolution, 75-degree diagonal view, manual pan/tilt controls, and a physical sliding lens shutter. The manufacturer does not publish the video frame rate on the checked support page, and does not specify the focus method or built-in audio. Its exact Amazon listing was mapped to part 4XC0V13599, so this entry can link directly to that offer.

Consider it for

A fixed desk or teleconferencing setup where a 75° diagonal view, UVC connection, manual positioning, and lens privacy matter more than a confirmed frame rate or integrated audio..

Look elsewhere if

Skip it when you need confirmed 1080p30 or 1080p60 modes, autofocus, a built-in microphone or speaker, automatic presenter tracking, or a light that illuminates your face. The shutter covers the lens, but Lenovo does not say that it mutes a microphone. Check the compatibility resources for your exact computer and operating system before relying on the dated driver information.

Pros & cons

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

What works in its favor

  • Lenovo identifies the 4XC0V13599 part and documents Full HD 1920×1080 plus a 75-degree diagonal field.
  • A physical sliding shutter provides a direct way to block the lens between calls.
  • UVC, USB 2.0, and a replaceable 1.8-meter Type-A-to-Type-C cable are documented.

What to weigh up

  • The source gives no frame rate for the Full HD resolution, so a 30 or 60 fps expectation is unsupported.
  • Focus type, microphone, speaker, lighting, and shutter-linked audio behavior are not specified.
  • The displayed Windows driver packages are old; the page points buyers to separate compatibility resources for current systems.

What the features mean for you

Exact part and listing

Lenovo's ACC500143 support page names the 500 FHD Webcam and marketing part 4XC0V13599. It also shows GXC0X89769 with the same camera-top and mount service parts. That makes GXC0X89769 an alternate marketing number associated with the same model record, not evidence for a second camera page; the regional or package distinction is not explained. The saved current Amazon inspection for B0821RB61V displayed the Lenovo brand and 4XC0V13599 model number, which supports a direct product link for this exact listing. That listing check establishes the offer-to-part crosswalk, not the condition or contents of every future offer. Lenovo's specification page remains the source for camera features.

Full HD, with the rate left open

Lenovo documents FHD 1920×1080 and describes live video for teleconferencing, but the checked page does not provide a mode table or frame rate. That is enough to distinguish it from a camera whose documentation stops below Full HD, but it does not establish 30 fps, 60 fps, MJPEG, YUY2, or which combinations a particular app exposes. If the exact frame rate matters for motion or recording, ask for the part-specific mode table before choosing it. The page's 4× digital zoom may help crop the displayed image, but it does not create a higher-resolution sensor mode or prove that digital zoom preserves detail.

Diagonal view and manual positioning

Lenovo labels the field as 75 degrees diagonal, so it can be compared against other diagonal figures in the finder. It is a moderate frame rather than an explicitly ultra-wide group view. The page also describes pan/tilt controls; these let a person redirect the camera during setup, but they do not establish a motorized gimbal or automatic subject tracking. A fixed desk caller who can set the direction once may value that adjustability. A presenter who expects the camera to follow movement should look for explicit tracking documentation instead. The manufacturer does not state autofocus or fixed focus, so this review does not predict how the lens behaves when subject distance changes.

Shutter, light, and audio limits

The internal sliding shutter is the clearest privacy fact: it physically blocks the lens. Lenovo does not connect shutter position to microphone muting, and does not list a microphone or speaker on this page. Those omissions should remain open questions rather than be converted into claims that the camera lacks audio hardware. Similarly, the support page mentions status behavior but does not document an integrated face light. A buyer needing quiet audio capture or room illumination should plan around a separate headset or lamp until Lenovo confirms those features for the exact part.

Connection and host checks

Lenovo specifies UVC, a USB 2.0 interface, and an included replaceable cable with Type-A and Type-C ends. The package list names the camera, cable, quick setup guide, and warranty. This gives a concrete wired setup path and a Type-C cable connection, though UVC alone does not guarantee every current host, app, dock, or adapter. The page lists driver packages for older Windows versions and directs users to Lenovo's compatibility resources for current systems. Treat the printed historical driver dates as support history, not a promise about a newer operating system.

Who should choose it

Choose the 500 FHD when Lenovo's documented 75-degree diagonal framing, UVC connection, and physical shutter match a stationary Full HD conferencing setup, and you can check the frame-rate and host details that matter to you. Lenovo Essential FHD part 4XC1B34802 is a distinct comparison: its saved maker record specifies three modes at 30 fps, a wider 95-degree diagonal field, fixed focus, and two microphones, while this 500 FHD page gives no rate, focus type, or audio specification. The choice is therefore between the narrower documented frame with an unresolved mode rate and the Essential model's wider, more fully stated mode table. This assessment uses manufacturer documentation and the exact listing crosswalk; it makes no hands-on image, audio, price, or buyer-review claim.

What else to compare

For more completely specified Full HD rates and a wider diagonal frame, compare Lenovo Essential FHD 4XC1B34802.
