If you're cheap like me, this great little webcam will fit you to a tee :)

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2017

Style: SingleVerified Purchase

Why spend $50-75 for a webcam? This $19 option gives you EVERYTHING you ever wanted for crisp web conferencing, Skype, etc. It operates flawlessly with clear well-focused video, sits comfortably atop my 24" display, is infinitely adjustable, and the included mic sounds clean and clear. Do yourself a favor and buy this inexpensive 720P webcam, and save your dough for where the highest resolutions really matter; such as a nice camera or smartphone upgrade.

Excellent quality for the price, but has one glitch

Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2019

Style: SingleVerified Purchase

If you're running Windows 10 and it doesn't work, there is a trick to setting it up that Logitech does not tell you about. Try downloading the Logitech driver and saving it on your desktop. With the camera plugged in directly to a USB 2.0 on the computer (not a hub), reboot into safe mode, click on the .exe file you saved to your desktop and let the installation do its thing. Once finished, reboot again into regular mode. Then click on the Logitech Camera Settings icon and the camera should come on. Thats what I did anyway and when I told Logitech they wondered why they didn't think of that. The camera works very well and I've already done some cross country Skype calls using its microphone with no problems.

Does not work with Windows 10

Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2018

Style: SingleVerified Purchase

Prior to the latest Windows 10 update, I would have given this webcam a 5. Now, it will not work on my Windows 10 computer. I've done everything Logitech tells me to do but it still will not work. Logitech has yet to offer a solution. Therefore, I am giving it one star because it won't work. I've had to buy a Windows webcam just to make sure I've got one that works. Don't know who I am more upset with, Microsoft for making it so hard for accessories to keep working or Logitech for not providing a solution. Either way, this webcam does not work with my Windows 10 computer,

Got This For Streaming

Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2016

Style: SingleVerified Purchase

This webcam is better than I expected it to be. I was initially drawn to the price, and the fact that it can just rest over a monitor.

PROS:

- This cam takes a really nice picture and records or streams crisp, and without blur or distortion. It worked better than my laptops built in cam.

- I can place it on my secondary laptop, or in a different area of my desk, to get multiple angles while recording or streaming.

- Nice and portable-sized. Not big and bulky, heavy, or with the need to sit on the desk.

- Sleek appearance. The webcam has a nice, rounded appearance that gives it a higher end feel.

- I like that it accommodates a wide screen view and can capture in HD without problems.

- I use this on my laptop and it rests on top. I'm able to slide it around until I get the preferred angle.

CONS:

- The only real con is that it doesn't clamp down too well. If I accidentally tug on the cord, the webcam easily falls off. I sometimes will let it set on the top of my laptop screen by the hinge (the part that bends) to make it a little harder to knock off. If it could have just a little more stability, it would be awesome.

Overall however, I'm very happy with the purchase and really like this little cam.

Horrible FOCUS

Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2018

Style: SingleVerified Purchase

I purchased this because I had to do a proctored test on my computer. The proctor had to watch me take the test, which was fine. However, he had to see my drivers license with my name and pic and DL#. He said he could not read it. I tried to focus the camera but no matter what, You could not see the writing clearly. If you need this as a quick and easy to to use camera that is not super focused, then it is ok for the price. Any type of focusing on something smaller than your hand, it will be a problem. I could not use it for what I needed it for.

affordable webcam with adjustable (manual) focus lens

Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2017

Style: SingleVerified Purchase

If you take online classes like I do where you are required an external webcam for proctoring, I highly recommend this device. It is the best quality product in the price range. Most proctoring programs require you to hold up an ID card up to the webcam to take a picture, and this webcam allows you to be able to do that while maintaining a crisp image.

However, be warned: THIS VOIDS THE WARRANTY.

You'll need to pop off the case (easily done without tools), and then remove three tiny screws holding the plate. When you have the inside exposed, you can see a tiny nub of glue that holds what looks like a gear surrounding the camera. I took a tiny flathead screwdriver to carefully remove the glue nub. Be very careful as doing this voids the warranty and it is very fragile. You can adjust the focus by rotating the gear clockwise or counter clockwise. Be very careful doing this as well--rotating the gear too far out may disassemble the camera lens.

I have two cats, so I didn't want to risk leaving the covers off. I screwed the plates back on once I had the focus adjusted to where I would be able to take a close up picture of my ID clearly.

Works great with OctoPrint for my CR-10 Printer

Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2017

Style: SingleVerified Purchase

Purchased for my Octoprint build for my CR-10 printer. I'm using to monitor my print jobs and take time lapse video. The quality is ok, it met my expectations for the price and what I wanted to use it for. I use a gopro for better quality time lapse, but this lets me monitor my builds for issues and insure that remote started builds work fine. I wish it came with a better way to mount, but you can print parts from thingiverse to help mount it in different ways, for now, I'm just using some command strips to hold it in place. See pictures below of my set up with the camera in front of the bed.

Be sure to download the free software from Logitech web site

Reviewed in Canada on April 4, 2019

Style: SingleVerified Purchase

The camera arrived on time, in good shape. If there is any issue, it is that the camera would not work on my Windows 10 Home Edition, unless or until I searched on Bing for the camera and found that I needed to download software and a firmware upgrade for the camera. The information was easy to find, and this is my secondary camera, so my only inconvenience was searching. I have two Windows machines and wanted the convenience of being able to video chat or Skype call from either. The software download was fast, self-installing, and usefulness was immediate, so the only caution I have is, "What if I was a complete newbie with peripherals for my computer, unfamiliar with downloading software? I would have been searching, in vain, for a disk of software in the same box in which the camera arrived."
It all turned out fine.

It's a good camera for skyping with but not good to record ...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 21, 2014

Style: SingleVerified Purchase

It's a good camera for skyping with but not good to record with. The 720p widescreen is correct for the video camera functions however it doesn't look great when you watch the recording back and even less so when uploaded to youtube. Having a light on the camera is great and it works well to remind you if it's on and it's easy enough to sit on your monitor though it may not work great on a thin screened laptop.

Overall it's not great if you want it for anything other than skyping, if you want to record footage for youtube,etc I would just recommend getting an actual camera to mount to a tripod instead.

Fine for Basic Use

Reviewed in Canada on March 13, 2019

Style: SingleVerified Purchase

Webcam works as it should, picture is okay. Not great in low light. I was using it for streaming and it just wasn’t good enough quality. I would recommend this as a secondary or keyboard camera for streamers. For general use this would be perfectly adequate for video calling friends. The microphone isn’t the best but it is fine for personal use. If you’re looking for great video quality I’d buy the next model up.

Good for the price

Reviewed in Canada on December 17, 2019

Style: SingleVerified Purchase

Let's face it: you're here because this is one of the cheapest webcam options. I'm not here to judge... we all just need to be on the same page here. I've rated this camera 5-stars not because it'll give you a crystal clear 4k image with a fantastic/responsive auto-focus and good depth-of-field. No. You'll get a 720p, everything-in-focus, not-so-great-in-the-dark webcam. It's not perfect, but if you're used to the webcam built into your laptop, this will be comparable... maybe even slightly better.

If I had to list my biggest gripe is that there is no physical privacy shield for when the camera is not in use, but this does exist on some of the more expensive models. However, this camera can be articulated upward when not in use, so all hackers will see is your ceiling.

TL:DR - It's cheap and it works.

Ah Logitech, si précis, si puissant, si efficace. Cette caméra est superbe. Sachant que je me trouve plus beau que mon ombre, et que l'appel de la caméra se fait de plus en plus intense, je vais probablement aller pour une camera full HD, juste histoire de faire saisir au monde mes moindres variations en 4K. Mais cette caméra est tout simplement un délice pour tous vos besoins en capture inférieurs ou égaux à 720p. Et ça fonctionne partout, sans installation additionnelle. Chez moi en tout cas, c'est passé comme une lettre à la poste sur Linux.

A base model webcam

Reviewed in Canada on January 1, 2020

Style: SingleVerified Purchase

This is for someone who doesn't need 1080p or stereo audio. It is in 720p and mono audio.
It is a base model with few "extras". So no autofocus - for example.
In Windows 10, it should pick up the camera once plugged it. Recommend you always keep it in the same USB port. If you need the [limited] enhancements, then you need the software from the Logitech web site. However, try it without the software. The software installs too much stuff that you may not ever use.

Great little webcam

Reviewed in Canada on June 25, 2019

Style: SingleVerified Purchase

I bought this for long distance skype calls with my inlaws to prop on top of my monitor. The set up was really simple. The picture and sound quality are great. Only thing that could use being changed is it's mounting system. It could be a more secure fit, rather than just perching on top of my monitor. It's not very stable if my monitor gets moved around (my monitors are on a desk mount with swing arms). It doesn't, however, deter me from recommending this camera to others.

Logitech never disappointed me.

Reviewed in Canada on April 21, 2020

Style: SingleVerified Purchase

This camera is great.
Pros:
- Plug and play. Drivers are installed automatically.
- Unlike other webcams I had, it is not "over-zoomed" at my face. I sit about 2 feet away, and it shows my head+shoulders+tiny part of my upper chest. Just like an ID photo.
- The video is clear and TRUE 720p. I bought this to replace an off-brand "1080p" that had a much worse video quality.
- It has a built-in microphone (that works really well).

Cons:
- Doesn't have a lens cover.
- Not great in poor lighting.

What I learned about webcams: Don't buy off-brands, get a known brand, and then you can actually trust the specs advertised.

Needs its own USB port to work with the software

Reviewed in Canada on March 22, 2020

Style: SingleVerified Purchase

The camera is good quality. However you need to download the software capture from logitech site (free) to record videos or take picture and that software detects that camera only if it has its own USB port. In my case it was to make videos with my tablet which has only one USB port where are also plugged a memory stick, a keyboard and a mouse. Impossible to detect the camera. I needed to buy another one from another company!!

It's area of view is sooo magnified!

Reviewed in Canada on May 8, 2020

Style: SingleVerified Purchase

Might be okey for face-to-face (clear enough), but I bought it for live youtube streaming and I moved that Cam 4 to 5 feet away and it gave me a veiw area of about 3 by 3 feet. I ended up turning my old G6 Play android phone into an IP streamcam which gave a bit lower resolution (by a hair), but a bigger viewing area which is what I needed. I'll say one thing "it is definitely plug-and-play/use", but lower resolution than your average cell, in my opinion.

Reviewed in Canada on May 24, 2017

Style: SingleVerified Purchase

The C270 is about the best you can buy at this price point. It's one of the most commonly used monitoring and timelapse cams for 3D printing. There are mountings for almost every make and model of printer. It's also a decent webcam for someone just starting up on YouTube. It's only 720p, but I guarantee you'll be using this for alternate angles even after you upgrade.
