A mounting clip allows fastening the device on a monitor, but when it is folded it serves as a support. There is of course a built-in microphone in it. LED indicator informs whether the camera is turned on or off preventing a user from possible curious situations.

It hasn’t got the mode indicator, but there are shortcut buttons to save photos and overlay different types of postprocessing effects, which do the communication more various and fascinating. No matter the web camera has another design, but functionally its construction does not differ from SVEN IC-525.

The camera has more stylish and high-Q case design with a ball joint for its rotation at any angle, but it lost indicators and buttons. As well as in other models, the leg combines functions of a table support and a clip to a monitor. The camera is able to adjust the exposition independently. There are black and blue color versions.
SVEN IC-920 model replicates characteristics and possibilities of SVEN IC-720 totally. The aluminum case with a decorative polishing is a key feature, which provides more solid appearance to the camera and increases the shock resistance indexes of its structure. The lens barrel can be rotated at any angle and an outside button will do the save process of photos from the camera instantaneously.
SVEN IC-950 HD web camera falls to a higher class and, as it is obvious from its name, it differs by the support of 1280 × 720 resolution, at that, as opposed to SVEN IC-525, it provides the refresh rate at the level of 33 pictures-per-second within this resolution range. In this model, you can also focus manually instead of the automatic focusing.
The design features of the rubberized table leg, which in the unfolded condition serves as a mounting clip to a monitor, do not allow revolving the camera easily, but you can change its inclination only.
