That has a flap on the front that can be folded down to cover the camera lens and the infrared sensor. It also comes with a little plastic shield that can be attached to the top of the camera. It can be pulled off that and mounted on a tripod using a standard camera mount. The camera comes with a bendable rig that allows it to rest fairly securely on top of a monitor. A 1.5 metre USB-C to USB 3.0 cable is provided with the package. The power and comms port on the camera itself is USB Type-C. To use the 4K functionality, your computer will need a USB 3.0 or later port. It supports Windows (7 and later), MacOS 10.10 or later and the Google Chromebook. The camera field of view is 90 degrees, which can be brought down via the control software. Two microphones are built in and these provide noise cancellation. One rare feature is support for Windows Hello facial recognition logon, available in Windows 10. It also has an infrared sensor.Īmongst the processing features, the camera provides “background replacement”, presumably to hide one’s grotty environment from those with whom one is conversing on Skype. A built in light – “RightLight 3” is designed to allow the webcam’s use is a wide range of environments from low light to direct sunlight. (That said, as we’ll see below, it seems to work at 3840 across, not 4096.) It will also support 1080p (up to 60fps) and 720p (up to 90fps). Not Ultra High Definition (3840 by 2160 pixels) but, according to the specifications, 4096 by 2160 pixels at up to 30 frames per second. The BRIO is part of Logitech’s business range, although the pricing (now $299.95, down from $379.95 when first launched) isn’t out of range of the home enthusiast.Īs the name implies, the resolution on offer is 4K. That, and Windows Hello, are two reasons to make the shift to the Logitech BRIO 4K Pro Webcam. But times move on, so perhaps it’s time to upgrade beyond the full high definition of the C900 series to 4K. I’m thinking I chose right because the Logitech C900 series is still around, fundamentally the same although tweaked somewhat in the software, these six years later. It took its place atop my then desktop computer’s then monitor back in 2011, replacing a series of less than satisfactory webcams from single-product companies which have long since disappeared. For years I’ve been using a Logitech C910 webcam.
