Our take
Microsoft's NX-6000 data sheet documents an unusual 1600×1190 motion mode, a 71-degree diagonal field, fixed focus, digital pan/tilt, three-times digital zoom, and an integrated noise-cancelling microphone. Its age and missing frame-rate specification limit what can be promised for a current computer or meeting app. The row's historical ASIN and part clue are not mapped to an exact offer, so use a tagged model search.
A buyer who specifically wants an NX-6000 notebook camera and can confirm that a legacy device works with the target host..
Not for a buyer who needs 1080p60, autofocus, current driver assurances, USB-C or a verified physical privacy cover.
Pros & cons
What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.
What works in its favor
- The TDS gives a 71° diagonal field and exact motion-video dimensions.
- Digital pan/tilt and 3× zoom are documented alongside a fixed-focus lens.
- An integrated unidirectional noise-cancelling microphone is specified.
What to weigh up
- No frame rate or current host/application support is listed.
- 7.6MP interpolated stills are separate from motion video and do not establish a higher video mode.
- Historical ASIN B000GOUE7Y and part clue 94N-00001 are not cross-referenced.

What the features mean for you
NX-6000 identity and offer boundary
The frozen row names Microsoft LifeCam NX-6000 and carries part clue 94N-00001 with historical ASIN B000GOUE7Y. Microsoft's own technical data sheet independently identifies the NX-6000, so the model is supported as a product family. The inspected source does not connect the row part or ASIN to a current exact offer. For that reason, the buying route searches for the model and part rather than opening the historical ASIN as if its current contents had been confirmed. The old camera should be judged from model documentation, with condition, accessories and host requirements checked separately if it is found for sale.
Motion video versus still photos
Microsoft lists 1600 by 1190 pixels for motion video. It also lists an interpolated 7.6-megapixel still image at 3200 by 2380. These are different capabilities: the larger interpolated still figure does not establish a 3200-pixel video mode. The sheet gives no frame-rate table, codec, or application-specific output limit. A buyer needing a known 30 or 60fps mode should therefore treat the NX-6000 as unconfirmed on that requirement rather than infer a rate from the pixel dimensions. The unusual motion size is useful to preserve accurately, but it does not say how modern software exposes every option.
Fixed focus, diagonal field and controls
Microsoft calls the NX-6000 fixed focus and gives a 71-degree diagonal field of view. The diagonal convention makes that angle comparable to other diagonal measurements, although it still does not predict framing at a particular desk distance. Digital pan, digital tilt and 3× digital zoom are listed as imaging features. They describe electronic controls, not a motorized camera head that physically turns to follow a presenter. Fixed focus also means the source does not promise lens refocusing as someone moves between near and far positions. Automatic subject tracking is not documented in the data sheet.
Microphone, connection and mount
The technical sheet specifies an integrated unidirectional microphone with noise cancellation. It does not provide a measured pickup distance, performance score, or test in a particular room. Microsoft describes a notebook attachment base and a high-speed USB interface compatible with USB 2.0. The sheet does not establish USB-C, a physical lens shutter, or current support for present operating systems and conferencing software. Its original host and software requirements are historical. Confirm that a found unit connects as both camera and audio input on the intended computer, and do not assume that the old setup program runs on a current system.
Who should consider the NX-6000
The model may suit someone specifically seeking this legacy LifeCam and who values its documented diagonal view, integrated mic and electronic pan/tilt controls. It is a poor default for a buyer requiring a modern 1080p mode, a confirmed frame rate, autofocus, USB-C or a verified physical privacy cover. Microsoft's TDS supports model features, but it does not establish current availability or ASIN identity. Check recognition on the intended host and compatibility with the exact meeting software. This document-based review includes no personal video/audio test, customer-review summary, current price, stock or sales claim.
What else to compare
For modern HD video and autofocus compare Logitech C930e; for a legacy fixed-focus model with 720p see Microsoft LifeCam HD-3000.
Before you buy
Does NX-6000 record 7.6MP video?
No. Microsoft lists 1600×1190 motion video and a separate 3200×2380 interpolated still-image figure.
What frame rate does it support?
The Microsoft data sheet reviewed here does not state a frame rate, so current mode cadence remains unknown.
Does it autofocus or track a presenter?
The TDS says fixed focus and lists digital pan/tilt and zoom; it does not document automatic subject tracking.
Is ASIN B000GOUE7Y an exact current match?
The historical row includes it, but Microsoft's TDS does not map that ASIN to an exact current offer.
