Re: SV: Logitech HD Webcam

[Dane Trethowan]

Up until now I would have suggested the Pollycom Hands Free for Skype 
communications and so on with your computer, it's a very nice little device 
however there are no Windows 10 drivers available for it and Pollycom won't 
develop any so this Logitech Webcam would appear to be one of the next best 
alternatives and it's certainly small enough to cart about with your Notebook 
or whatever you're using, no reason I suggest as to why it couldn't be used 
with a Surface Pro or similar.

The camera arrived today.

Obviously I can’t tell you about the performance image or video wise but I can 
say that the camera - when used with Skype etc - does have excellent audio 
quality through its microphones and good echo/noise cancelling qualities, like 
the Polycom Hands Free unit I spoke about 6 months ago this camera shouldn’t 
have any quality capturing a family group in audio so I’d imagine the say would 
be true for video.

Those of a positive and enquiring frame of mind will leave the rest of the 
halfwits in this world behind.

Yep you're probably right there.

I did see reference to USB 3.0 somewhere though I've since found the 
Logitech Webcam specs that recommend USB 2.0 high speed so USB 3 won't 
do any harm .

Hi!

I have the standard version of one of these cameras already which I bought 
around a year ago.

I had to buy another and noticed the HD version is at the same price now as I 
paid for the standard version.

I'm wondering, for HD mode to work will I need a USB 3.0 port given the extra 
band width required for this camera or will a USB 2.0 suffice?
Eitehr way I'll be able to handle it.

Hi!

I have the standard version of one of these cameras already which I bought 
around a year ago.

I had to buy another and noticed the HD version is at the same price now as I

I'm wondering, for HD mode to work will I need a USB 3.0 port given the extra

Eitehr way I'll be able to handle it.
