It’s already hard enough to imagine the life of most users
World Wide Web without such a device. Use it to make a video call in

The brand
This computer brand appeared back in 1990. Initially, this company specialized in the production of protective screens for CRT monitors, without which at that time it was very harmful to work. From here comes the name of the company. The word Defender in the literal translation from English means “Defender”, which perfectly reflects the essence of the then developments of this manufacturer. The company did not stand still and gradually peripheral devices and computer accessories began to appear in its assortment. Although the brand itself is considered Russian, its production facilities are located in East Asia and Western Europe. So it turns out that the Defender G-LENS 2552 webcam is considered a domestic product, although it was made outside of our country.
