Logitech HD Webcam C270 (960-001063)

Classic form factor

The C270 is one of the most famous and well-reviewed webcams in Logitech's portfolio. It is made in a classic form factor for webcams, which is why it is well suited for mounting on a monitor or laptop. Its main charm is simplicity and reliability: it connects quickly, automatically configures itself, works with all popular operating systems and does not act up at a crucial moment.

Only the Essentials

The camera offers the most necessary functions: it shoots video in an honest resolution of 1280x720 and decent quality, it has an intelligent microphone with noise reduction and an interesting package of additional software Logitech Webcam Software. With it, you can take photos and videos, immediately post them to social networks, change camera settings (exposure, brightness, contrast), use face tracking or activate motion detection when the camera begins to follow you so that your face is in the centre of the lens . However Orwell and his big brother are involuntarily recalled here, but nevertheless the function can be useful.

Inconvenient fastening

The only thing that upset us was the unsuccessful mounting system. Firstly, it allows you to rotate the camera only horizontally, and secondly, it does not look strong. If you want to hang it on the monitor once and for all and forget, then everything is ok. If you plan to use it with several devices, then the unstable mount will have to be double-checked so that the webcam does not inadvertently fall off the monitor.
