Take everything you read on Lazada with a grain of salt.  

The maximum dynamic resolution: 640 * 480, This is NOT a high resolution nor high-definition camera

enjoy the big-screen visual experience Big screen not going to be enjoyable at 640x480 so don't display on your 42" HDTV

Built-in sound absorption microphone, you can clearly hear the sound within 10 meters. Really?  I don't know if a high quality, professional microphone will do that in a soundbooth!

Support Windows 2000 / XP / win7 / win8 / win10 / Vista 32bit, Android TV  Tipoff that it is old technology

This device is plug and pray, using generic drivers in Windows, no custom drivers to get the most out of the equipment.

Hopefully the cost is low otherwise I would pass on it.

Could you recommend a camera or at least tell me what to look for.

Name brand cameras are relatively cheap these days, even a retail stores.  If you want hd good quality pay more for name brand like logitech or many others.

Cheap cams will do just fine for most uses.  What will it be used for? Desktop computer? Most laptops have builtin cams.  I have 2 or 3 extra cams at home, no longer nèeded.

I use a logitech for online teaching. They work great. https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-C922x-Pro-Stream-Webcam/dp/B01LXCDPPK/ref=sxin_3_ac_d_pm?keywords=logitech+camera&pd_rd_i=B01LXCDPPK&pd_rd_r=d8e4670f-e036-460b-bffe-c781882b8159&pd_rd_w=xcM3K&pd_rd_wg=6dXmL&pf_rd_p=5cc8abfe-8f78-4f34-b19f-d09d6ea0dca4&pf_rd_r=NKX7NXB5ZY285V9HRJYP&qid=1559180724&s=electronics

I also would recommend the Logitech C922 or C930 series.  They are pricey but do allot of the processing of the video stream in the camera instead of on the computer.  

Look for a cam that does H.264 streaming, it will reduce your bandwidth usage.  Most video chat apps nowadays will handle streaming of 720P if your internet will handle it.  Having a camera that will do the H.264 processing onboard along with the 720P resolution will give you a sharp image.  These Logitech webcams also have autofocus and digital zoom, one thing yours does not have.  

But if the one you listed was for the one for 407 PHP I might give it a shot, just don't expect much.  Attach it to a decent computer and you might be surprised.  Don't sit too far away or you may look like an ant in the video.

Before I came here there was a Black Friday special at Home Depot, a GoPro Chinese knockoff for $19.95.  I bought 2 when the price got to $16.95.  I didn't expect much, it will record for about an hour and then the battery runs out and the audio recording is terrible, but the video is HD 1080P and isn't bad!  Came with a GoPro compatible waterproof housing and several attachments!  All in all I think it was a good deal and worth the money.

I want to use it for things like skype or messenger. I look on Lazada then check if I can get it locally as I have found that Lazada isn`t that cheap especially when you add postage.
