The webcam was purchased five months ago and is just like new. Although bought five months ago, it hasn't been used much; it has been used for at most 7-8 days. It does not come with a box. The box was torn up by young children at home while playing. You can check it as much as you want, there are no issues. It is a completely HD good webcam, you can view things very nicely. The price can be reduced slightly.
