It also claims to put out HD video at 30 fps although I couldn’t get it to go over 15 fps at 720p. However, even at that setting the video was stunning. While we’ve really liked the Microsoft LifeCam Cinema in the past, we’ve found over time that its video performance has been inconsistent and its driver bloated. Microsoft is also in the camera business. (See below for supported PTZ cameras or contact sales if you have questions.)Ħ. Please note VSee does not support remote PTZ control for the BCC950. Tom Keating at TMCnet did a thorough review of the BCC950. I’ve seen this camera for as low as $188, although it more typically runs around $250. It makes nice (inexpensive) choice for room video conference calls where it can be put on the table and moved around to bring the camera closer to people’s faces. It’s designed for group conferencing and has built-in omni-directional speaker phones, remote control, and 8 feet of cord length compared with the Orbit’s 6 feet. It also has a 9″ stick mount for eye-level video conferencing. The Logitech BCC950 Conference Cam is the updated version of the Logitech QuickCam Orbit AF. It’s a nice choice for telemedicine with its wide 90-degree diagonal field of view and Pan-Tilt-Zoom. For a little bit more money, the Logitech Webcam C930e (~$130) for businesses is an excellent webcam that gives you a really spectacular, smooth HD video experience. It still has the clip that can attach to your laptop, and can be easily tucked away when not in use.Ĥ. If you’re on a tighter budget, Logitech B525 is a good quality camera at $60. It has a 360-swivel and fold-and-go design. It also has a privacy shutter that allows you to close the lens when you are not on the video call (or don’t want to be).ģ.

Logitech C925e works great for businesses and is affordably priced. Ubergizmo has an excellent review of the C920 with pictures comparing the video quality of several other popular Logitech webcams – Pro 9000, C910, and C920.Ģ. It can also work for telemedicine, like the cost-effective VSee-Intermountain tele-NICU setup using 3 Logitech C920 webcams. It has the all- important mechanical auto-focus and runs $75-$130. For general usage, we recommend the Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 and Logitech Brio 500. We have tested a wide variety of cameras with VSee, and pretty much anything that works with Windows DirectShow will give you a satisfactory experience, but a few webcams really stand out for video calling with their superior image quality due to superior optics and optical auto-focus.ġ. ![]()
