USB Webcam Settings: CamDial

Descrizione

Your webcam forgets its settings every time it unplugs, sleeps, or switches apps. CamDial remembers. Control exposure, white balance, focus, and zoom for any USB (UVC) camera right from the menu bar — then save presets that come back automatically when your camera reconnects, or whenever a chosen app comes to the front. REAL HARDWARE CONTROL CamDial adjusts the camera itself over USB — no software filters, no virtual camera, no added latency, no CPU-hungry video pipeline. Your settings apply in every app: Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, OBS, QuickTime, FaceTime. WHY CAMDIAL • Settings that survive. Presets reapply automatically on reconnect and when a call starts — the #1 frustration with every webcam tool, solved. • Real units. White balance in kelvins, exposure in fractions of a second — not opaque percentages. • Honest controls. CamDial only shows the controls your camera actually supports. No dead gray sliders. • Per-app rules (Pro). Your meeting look for Zoom, your streaming look for OBS — switched automatically when the app comes to the front. • Hold your settings (Pro). An optional switch: if another app moves a setting, CamDial puts it back and tells you which app did it. • Live preview with mid-call editing: adjust your picture while another app is using the camera and watch it change in real time. • Keyboard-first and VoiceOver accessible. Global hotkey. Control Center button on macOS 26+. Siri Shortcuts via App Intents. WORKS WITH ANY UVC WEBCAM Logitech C920/C922/Brio, Elgato Facecam, Razer Kiyo, Anker, NexiGo, and any standard USB video camera — one app for your whole camera drawer. Note: Apple's built-in FaceTime and Studio Display cameras don't expose hardware controls to any app and are not supported. FREE AND PRO Free: full manual controls, one preset per camera, automatic reapply on reconnect. Pro (one-time unlock): unlimited presets, per-app rules, and holding your settings against other apps. One purchase, yours forever — macOS 27 support included. No subscription. Family Sharing enabled. PRIVACY No account. No analytics. No network access. Data Not Collected — and that's on the label.

Opening CamDial no longer overwrites what you just set. It used to mistake its own preview for another app taking the camera, and put the starred preset over your work. CamDial no longer says a camera refused a setting when the camera merely rounded it to its own grid by one unit. The same mistake was behind a dot that never went out on a preset nobody had touched, a question about unsaved changes when there were none, and a banner claiming your camera had been reset when it had not. A camera once judged unable to restart its preview gets another chance instead of being kept streaming forever. On those cameras the light stayed on, and CamDial could no longer tell when another app took the camera. Reset all now undoes the anti-flicker setting too, and is called Reset all rather than Reset all to Auto, because it no longer only hands controls back to automatic. When a camera stops answering, CamDial says so once and tells you to unplug it and plug it back in, instead of repeating the same error under every control. The popover scrolls when it is taller than your screen. The compatibility card shows each control's step next to its range. CamDial no longer writes the anti-flicker setting on the AUKEY PC-LM4, which stops answering when it receives one; the flicker fix still works there through the shutter alone. And when that fix cannot help, it says which limit it ran into.
