Logitech StreamCam 1080p Webcam for Streaming

Truly what else can I say. 1080p is 2.1 megapixels. The front facing camera in today’s phone is at least 2x to 4x higher quality than this. I truly don’t understand why they’re charging this much for a mediocre camera. In addition, I for the life of me cannot get the camera to rotate. They have no less than 3 different applications to control the camera and none of them work right. Don’t buy this camera, find something else.

this thing is much better than any camera ive had. better than buying an Elgato camera. Plus if you pair this up with NVidia Broadcast, you will have the best option out there for streaming or any other use for your camera on your PC. Highly recommend

My office is white and gold with some walnut thrown in. I put off buying a camera for my monitor because I couldn’t stand the though of a horrid black or silver camera ruining my whole color scheme, until I saw this Logitech. I fell in love, I waited for it to be restocked then I pounced. I love it, It’s gorgeous and works well as it has both a very sharp camera and microphone. There are only 2 downsides: 1) is that the camera uses a USB-C plug, so I can’t keep my back up disk and the camera plugged into my dock at the same time, but that is minor; and 2) there is no cover, so I use mini-post its to cover the lens. I have seen some 3D printing geniuses online come up with some solutions, so if you are able to 3D print a cover, please send it my way.

Usable

Pretty pricey for a camera that doesn’t have a lot of customizable features or adjustable zoom from wide to narrow. But works perfectly in my case at home for Zoom/WebEx/Google Meet meetings. Color is more natural and brightness is almost spot-on realistic. Clipped easily to my monitor and also worked well both via USB-C (and my separately purchased USB-C adapter to use it on my workstation dock USB-A ports). Coworkers say the sound quality is great and comparable to using my AirPods as headphones, a little less rich sounding, which makes sense, the AirPods are attached to me and the Camera is in-front. Naturally going to sound slightly different, but very clear. Now if these would just stay in stock, I’d get the 2nd one my monitor at work rather than taking it back and forth. Overall happy.

I never write reviews, but wanted to clarify some misconceptions and help other folks.

There are some negative reviews about this camera, so I wanted to set the record straight. I only use this camera for work meetings (Zoom, Microsoft Teams etc) and so was content to plug it in and let it run. The quality of the image was terrible. People even told me the coloring was overly white and it looked like a cheap camera. I was debating whether to go back to my laptop camera. However, I took the advice of other comments on the logitech website, and downloaded the free software – on my personal laptop and work laptop. The software controls the image quality. I saw an IMMEDIATE difference in the image quality. I no longer looked washed out, but the quality improved dramatically. You can also control if the camera follows your face etc. There is also a free streaming. program for this camera, to further control the image quality.

The Apps to download for FREE from logitech are:
Logitech Capture
Logitech Camera Settings

Logitech Camera Settings is for any logitech camera, and you can control every details – lighting, brightening, camera width etc. Logitech Capture is for for this camera – and its a streaming app.

With the app downloads, it is 100% beyond worth the value of the money. I have Microsoft Surface computers, so this could be part of the reason why I needed the apps – maybe other types of computers do not.

Looks great with my iMac screen and works really well. Product arrived a day early which was great. Thanks, I’m very happy with it.
