HD filming (720p)
Historically the first of the high definition
HD (720p) standards. Initially, it assumed a resolution of 1280x720, however, in webcams, models with a different frame size are also included in this format — in particular, 960x720 and 1280x960, which have a 4:3 aspect ratio of the frame (unlike the original 1280x720, for which it is 16:9 ). Anyway, HD-models are relatively inexpensive and not particularly demanding on the quality of communication, however, they allow you to get a fairly detailed “picture”.
File format
File formats in which the camera can save video footage.
This parameter is for reference only: modern computers are equipped with extensive sets of codecs that allow you to play almost all common formats, and in extreme cases, the missing codec can be installed separately. TVs in this regard have more limited capabilities, however, in webcams designed for them (see "Purpose"), this moment is initially taken into account.
Indicators
Types of indicators (usually light) provided in the design of the camera. In modern models, there are (separately or together) two types of indicators:
— Nutrition. An indicator that indicates that everything is in order with the power supply. On some models, this indicator only works when the camera is turned on and ready to use, on others it can also work in standby mode — for example, it will glow in a different light than when the camera is on.
— Activities. An indicator that indicates that the camera is shooting video — and, accordingly, it is being recorded or broadcast on the Internet. Such an indicator makes it easier to keep track of the shooting mode and avoids unpleasant situations, such as accidentally broadcasting to the Internet from a camera that you forgot to turn off.
