Are cheap webcams safe? This is a difficult question to answer definitively because there are many factors to consider. On one hand, cheaper webcams may not have the same level of security features as more expensive models. This could make them more vulnerable to hacking. On the other hand, more expensive webcams may be more likely to be targeted by hackers simply because they are more expensive. Ultimately, it is up to the individual to decide what level of risk they are comfortable with.
Yes, there are webcams without microphones. While most webcams come with a built-in microphone, there are a number of models that do not have this feature. There are a few reasons why someone might want a webcam without a microphone. Maybe they just need the camera function and don't want to use the microphone. Or, they might want to use an external microphone for better sound quality. Whatever the reason, it is possible to find webcams without microphones.
A webcam is a digital video camera that can be used to capture images or record videos. It is typically used in conjunction with a computer, but it can also work without one. There are a few ways to use a webcam without a computer. One is to connect it to a TV or another display. This can be done with an HDMI cable or a special adapter. Another way is to use a stand-alone DVR system. This will allow you to record videos without a computer, but you will need to connect the webcam to the DVR with a cable.

I adore this webcam to pieces. I've had the Logitech C270 as my only keyboard for my YouTube channel for a very long time. I'm really glad I upgraded since there is a tremendous difference between this and that that is like night and day. It captures illumination perfectly, has superb autofocusing, and extremely high image quality. The photo and video I shot with this for my Amazon review were taken in a room that had one lamp in the corner and was lit normally in the evening. I usually have an additional light in front of my face for better quality, but I left it out in order to demonstrate how it would look with a typical setup. Let's move on to the positives and negatives.Cons: Logitech webcam software is not as bad or horrible as the internet makes it out to be; what I recorded for this was done using that. Pros: One of the best video/picture qualities available on any webcam. Smooth and fast video at 30fps regardless of what you are broadcasting with or recording with. More than decent lighting adjustments even on automatic settings.Widescreen with support for full 1080p comes with a ferrite core on the cable to improve the transmission quality.Cons: Slightly hazy; given the hype, I had expected it to have clarity on par with that of recent phone cameras, but those are my personal expectations, not ones made by them.Built-in microphones are poor quality, so it's best to invest $30 on a better microphone setup. To get started, I recommend something like the NW-700, which is what I used to capture the video and didn't change the sound in any way.Overall, I adore this camera; it functions flawlessly, installs itself without my intervention, and elegantly fulfills all of my needs.

Okay. First off, this webcam actually performs as advertised. Buy it! However, if you're a 70-something like me who isn't very tech savvy, you might find that it doesn't function when you first plug it into your Mac. Then, when you visit the Logitech website, you only find downloads for Windows versions of the necessary software; there are no Mac versions. However, when you call the Logitech number for support, you speak with some guy in God-knows-where who informs you that, regrettably, the Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 isn't wired to work with a Mac, so, sorry to say, you shouldn't have bought this one. This is despite the fact that the product literature does, sort of, say that it will work with a Mac. The choice then is to send the camera back to Amazon and continue looking for a suitable webcam. That is, until you find the YouTube video by the man who claims that all you really need to do is open the application for which you originally purchased the webcam—in my instance, Skype—go to Preferences, click on Audio/Video, and then choose the HD Pro C920, which will appear in the drop-down option. Sure enough, it worked when I gave it a try. It's a good thing I persisted for a few days and didn't send the webcam back right away. The furshlugginer item is now deserving of five stars.

I've owned a C920 for a long, and I really like it. Along with Contacam, it is continuously employed as a camera to record security footage of the entrance gate. However, the C930e, which is a couple of years newer, promised higher video resolution, so it seemed like a good upgrade.Additionally, I did read a lot of the remarks before making the purchase. You should be aware of the following additional information, especially when compared to the C920:* You essentially download the drivers and a camera controller for the C930e. The Logitech Webcam Software (LWS) is NOT provided to you as a "recommended" installation. They believe you already use top-tier "BUSINESS" software and won't actually need the LWS. This is noteworthy since the LWS contains a tool called Quick Snapshot that lets you record audio and video and take still photographs. There is no way to record video or audio without LWS and without "enterprise software."* I updated the LWS installation on the machine. When you install it, there are warnings that "most" of the LWS features won't work with the C930e, but you can "skip" them. There aren't many features I've discovered to be lacking after everything is finished, with the exception of one quite crucial one: the ability to turn off the camera LED while using a C920. However, the C930e does not have such radio buttons; instead, you are limited to using the dual-edged halo. In many circumstances, it's not a big concern, but I DO NOT want the light to shine toward the gate the entire night because it kind of undermines the "surveillance" aspect of "surveillance video." I'll probably use electrical tape to hide the two LED slivers.* Audio/video quality: Appears to be improved. I haven't experimented with many other background colors or much movement, but I will do so later. Initial impressions are positive.* If I had known then what I know now, I probably would have purchased a second C920 rather than a C930e. At this stage, the C930e offers a somewhat improved functionality for a $20 to $30 premium. It looks great and smells like a new car, but it's not much better.

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.

Well, I'm mighty impressed. I really didn't think they'd be all that great (I actually ordered other kinds so that I can compare them) (I actually ordered other kinds so that I can compare them). I was concerned before ordering that the sliding cover would slide too easily with movement and/or fall off at some point. Mind you, I literally JUST installed this thing on my laptop (Dell XPS) so this is not an a review based on longevity of the product; Merely my initial impressions. Installation was a breeze. They give you small, clear adhesive strips so that you have better control during placement rather that using your fingers on this TINY doohickey (see photos) (see photos). The cover does not slide with typical device movement and takes just a wee bit forceful pressure to move vs just touching it (see video for demo) (see video for demo). I don't know if it will loosen over time or if the adhesive will fail, so I do plan to update after a period of use. It also looks as though there is a lip on the rim of the adhered piece that will keep the cover from falling off. Yay! Unlike my old (janky) sticky note cover, this thing completely blocks the outside light and gives a black screen when the camera is covered (see photos) (see photos). My laptop screen also lays almost completely flat when closed, so I needed something very thin to ensure no screen damage when closed- this is as close to perfect as you'll get in terms of thickness (see photo) (see photo). So far, I'm very happy. Once I am confident that it will pass the test of time, I plan to apply the second one to my Samsung Galaxy s9 (I already know that it will fit, even with my cover on) (I already know that it will fit, even with my cover on). Here's to hoping!

For the price, this webcam has impressed me. The video quality of some of the more costly Logitech webcams that I have tested is very comparable, in my opinion. In any case, it is far superior to the built-in webcam on my laptop (and my laptop costs over $1500 and is fairly great).The mic is horrible, and there is no tripod mount, which are the primary downsides (or at least if there is one, you have to open some secret compartment that I have not figured out how to open).Overall, this is a fantastic webcam for the price if you're searching for one with great video quality. You should probably keep looking if you're seeking for a webcam with great overall quality.

Before buying, I did a ton of research on this item. In essence, I have to work from home for a while, but my employer preferred that I remain "in the office," if you will. Another webcam that my boss purchased, which was intended to be plug-and-play and compatible with Windows 10, turned out to be a nightmare. After doing some research, I discovered that this webcam is among the top 5 for Skype compatibility. Additionally, I discovered on CNET that it was the finest for the price range. I recommend the C920 if you don't mind spending a little extra money. I had to keep the cost low because I wasn't paying. The Logitech drivers appeared and began installing; it was genuinely plug and play. It was incredibly fast and easy. I do wish that most of these businesses would stop including Bing and other similar services in the installation procedure, where you have to be careful to uncheck the appropriate boxes. However, it is unrelated to this review. Once the camera is running, there is a "Follow my face" feature that is surprisingly useful and effective. The sound and microphone are fantastic, and the picture quality is really high. I was astonished by how simple the setup was and by the quality for the price. You can't go wrong with this device if you're searching for a high-quality camera with a good microphone at a reasonable price.It only received 4 ratings due of the cord's length. Although something appears goofy and stupid, it is absurdly brief. I actually had to raise my PC up onto my desk because of this cam if you're using it on a desktop, like I do. It is more difficult to utilize the cord on my monitor as it should be because it is so short. I would have given it five stars if they had included a standard-sized cord, but perhaps they were just considering laptop users when making this decision. I frequently act in such manner, but not when it comes to business. It is quite compatible with Skype, which promptly recognized everything and has since operated without a hitch. I haven't had a problem with this camera in a few weeks even though I leave it on for almost 9 to 10 hours five days a week. The other side claims that I sound and speak well, and they are utilizing the same camera, which is very noteworthy when contrasted to what we were using.I knew what to anticipate from Logitech—boxing. good, safe, and straightforward guides. Please select yes here if my review was helpful to you.

Super thin, does not cause any issues with the lid closing. It's barely noticeable and doesn't draw as much attention as my previous little post-it bookmark thing that I would have to re-stick or get a new one when I actually wanted to have video active. So many people don't recognize that hackers or NSA, etc can switch on your camera on your devices but suppress the light from coming on so that you don't know anyone is watching. It may sound paranoid, but with mass surveillance and AI used to read texts, listen to calls, monitor microphones and cameras on devices and alert some creepy guys to anything interesting, it isn't that someone is sitting watching you for hours, but that a computer might be and alert someone to certain things it may recognize in frame. Watch "citizenfour" about Edward Snowden to get a better idea of some of what is possible and how the agents that are going through your sexts will just share them with their coworkers if they find anything good. Just recently, the very popular video conferencing application Zoom was discovered that they could turn on your camera without your knowledge and if you tried to delete that app it moved a copy elsewhere on your machine. This was a reputable company! It's not paranoia. It's a very real issue. Sometimes it's just nice when entering a video conference room that you don't accidentally enter with video on when you weren't planning to and you've got bedhead.

Most laptops these days come with a built-in webcam. This is because webcams have become increasingly popular in recent years, as they allow us to stay connected with friends and family who live far away. Many laptops also come with software that makes it easy to use the webcam for video conferencing, which is another popular use for these devices.
A webcam is a digital video camera that streams live video and audio to a computer or mobile device. It's a popular way to communicate with friends and family online. While most laptops and desktop computers come with a built-in webcam, you may want to use an external webcam for a better video quality. You can also use a webcam with a tablet or smartphone, as long as it has a USB port.
Most webcams these days are plug and play, meaning they don't require any drivers to be installed and will work with any computer that has a USB port. Webcams generally don't require a lot of bandwidth, so you should be able to use a webcam with any broadband internet connection. That said, if you're using a webcam for video conferencing or other high-quality video applications, you may need a faster connection to avoid choppy video.
When choosing a webcam, there are a few things you need to consider. First, what do you need the webcam for? If you just need it for occasional video chats, then you don't need to spend a lot of money on a top-of-the-line model. However, if you plan on using the webcam for things like live streaming or professional video production, then you'll need to get a better quality webcam. Second, what kind of connection do you need? USB is the most common connection type, but there are also webcams that connect via HDMI
If your laptop has a webcam, there will be a small hole in the top of the screen. You can also check in the device manager to see if your computer has a webcam.
If you want to use your laptop as a webcam, there are a few things you need to do. First, you need to make sure your laptop has a built-in webcam. Most laptops nowadays do, but if yours doesn’t, you can always buy an external webcam that plugs into your USB port. Second, you need to download webcam software. This will allow you to control the settings of your webcam, such as resolution and frame rate. Once you have the software installed, you can launch it and start using your laptop as a webcam!
