Logitech BRIO – Ultra HD Webcam for Video Conferencing, Recording, and Streaming

Just wanted to say that I got this specifically because it was listed to work with linux, so leaving this review for anyone who ends up searching for the same. The included cable is a let-down though because it's usb-c to usb-a, and my laptop (and most these days) only have USB-C ports these days. So grab a nice usbc to usbc cable and you're set.

Just the camera I was looking for. My wife's laptop came with a crappy camera so even Zoom would not work. This one is future proof and works great.

Bien aceptada

So this would be a 5 star, however, it only does 1080p in Windows 11. I have contacted their support, they had me try some standard junk which did not fix the issue. Logitech is trying to blame it on Windows 11, as I get 4k in Windows 10, however that sounds like a driver issue, not a Windows 11 issue. If I force the windows 11 driver in windows 10, it only gets 1080p... so their support giving lies for support, this gets a 2 star right now, and I want to stress:IF YOU HAVE WINDOWS 11, AVOID THIS CAMERA FOR NOW!!!If you have Windows 10, go for it, this is a 5 star camera for Windows 10.*edit**Update 7-15-2022* Logitech just released brand new drivers Win 11 driver - 12.75.34 and this FINALLY gives us 4k resolution in windows 11!

WEBCAM FOR ZOOM MEETINGS AND DEPOSITIONS

buena compra

The media could not be loaded.  Very great quality video and audio. Easy to set up. Perfect for coaching calls

Uktra HD is perfect.Switch to 4k and sound doesn’t match image.

Ich habe die Kamera nun seit drei Tagen im Einsatz. Bereits jetzt bin ich einfach nur genervt von diesem Gerät und von dem Hersteller.Diese Webcam sollte hauptsächlich für Skype, kurze Takes für Tutorials und Streaming verwendet werden. Meine alte Kamera saß auf dem linken "Arbeitsmonitor", weil es mich immer gestört hat, sie im Sichtfeld zu haben.Das wollte ich nun auch so gestalten, was aber nicht funktioniert, da der Kopf nicht schwenkbar ist. Nun hat man die Möglichkeit, das über die Logitechsoftware zu lösen. Bei 4K-Auflösung reinzoomen und Bild verschieben (sehr dilettantisch Lösung übrigens), sollte ja noch genug vom Bild übrig bleiben um es vernünftig darzustellen.Das war aber leider nicht der Fall. Das Bild ist bereits in der ersten Zoomstufe so minderwertig, dass das auf keinen Fall eine Option war.Also doch die Kamera direkt auf dem Monitor vor mir platziert, was natürlich auch dem ganzen Bildausschnitt den Rest gegeben hat. Um in der Streamingsoftware die Webcam ins richtige Format (16:9 nicht 4:3) zu bringen, habe ich, in der der von Logitech bereitgestellten Software, auf "Breitbild" gestellt.Das Problem hierbei ist allerdings, das diese Software die Einstellungen nicht speichert. Farb- und Kontrasteinstellungen bleiben wenigstens bis zum nächsten Neustart des Computers bestehen. Die Auswahl des Bildformates jedoch wird nach schliessen des Einstellungsfensters sofort wieder auf Standard gesetzt.Nach kurzer Suche bin ich im Logitech Support Forum auf ähnliche Probleme gestoßen, die Seitens Logitech mit der Aussage abgespeist worden: "...leider ist unsere Software so gestaltet, dass sie nach Neustart alle Einstellungen auf Standard zurücksetzt."Somit muss ich leider sagen: Note 6 und für mich völlig inakzeptabel.

The media could not be loaded.  When we first went into Lockdown and everyone was working from home, what seems like a thousand years ago, you couldn't get hold of a webcam for love nor money. Not a decent name-brand one at least. My company laptop has a built in webcam, but it's awful. Truly awful. It took a few months before I managed to bag a Logitech C920. They've been around for years, but it was a huge step up in quality, and I use it on my works laptop extensively. Sometimes up to 8-10 hours a day. And on my own laptop I have a high-end Logitech Brio which I use for my streaming videos.In fact, I've become something of a webcam/streaming camera nerd in the last 10 months, and have put together a multi-camera system. Since the first Lockdown I've been working from home and slowly evolved the third bedroom/box room into my office/pocket Broadcasting House. From the early weeks of doing my daily video calls to my colleagues and clients via the very ropey integral built-in camera in my company HP ProBook I am now streaming games across YouTube and Facebook with multiple cameras operating at once.Despite being exactly a year since the original Lockdown began, webcams can still be quite difficult to get hold of and are commanding a premium. So, you begin to look around at what else is on offer. And you'll find a lot of little-known brands, or cameras that don't even have a brand. But are they any good? Do they even justify the small cost compared to a premium camera? I decided to pit five cameras against each other to show the difference. The two cameras from Logitech, and three budget cameras each promising different image quality. 1080, 2k and 4k. What did I find?I will state right away that these are taken using the standard Windows Camera app. Although I've put them all together in Adobe Premier there has been absolutely no pre or post editing going on here to manipulate the image. The video review I did was done using my Blue Yeti condensing microphone for sound, however for each camera I state where I change to the internal microphone so that you can hear for yourself the difference. The videos were taken with each cameras best resolution setting but nothing else was touched. I've not played with or manipulated anything, simply plugged them in by USB and let Windows install them as standard.Logitech C920:The Logitech C920 has proven itself to be a fantastic camera, one that I would seriously recommend to anyone. It can sometimes be difficult to get hold of, and varies wildly in price, but if you can get hold of one at a reasonable price it’s the one I’d recommend to anyone. Seeing the footage side by side with the more expensive Logitech Brio I’d argue the standard settings make for a more natural feel. It’s only 1080 Full HD at 30fps, but it does this very well. There is no fish-eye distortion of the image. It comes with access to Logitech’s Capture software which gives you greater freedom of setting it up, including zoom and moving the centre of focus around. It is a standard USB A port connection, and comes with a mount to attach to the top of your screen which is good, however doesn’t have any method of rotating where the camera points. It’s a straight-on view only, so if you want more versatility you’ll need a tripod with a moveable head, which you can connect via the standard tripod mount under the mount.The camera had a very visible pair of blue lights that come on when the camera is on, which is great. It doesn’t come as standard though without a lens cover, which is a disappointment, but I fashioned my own out of a bit of black card. Overall though, of all of the cameras I’ve used, I’ve found it to be the best all-rounder and best balance of quality against cost.Logitech Brio 4K:Not long ago I upgraded the C920 to a Brio 4K. It was more than twice as expensive as the C920, and I was expecting good things. If I’m honest, I feel it doesn’t quite hit that expectation. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a very good camera and better than anything I’ve tested. But against the C920 I don’t think it gives good value. The C920 is almost as good a camera, with arguably more natural tones without additional lighting. The Brio only really comes alive when paired with an additional light source. When set up correctly it’s fabulous, but how many people are really going to do that? I’ve got that because I stream to YouTube and you need that, but as a webcam you’re unlikely to go to those lengths. There is no fish-eye distortion of the image.Like the C920 it has access to Logitech’s Capture software. In here you can control things like HDR, and whether to use 4K recording at 30fps, or 1080 Full HD at 60fps. The camera comes with a decent monitor mount, as well as a lens cover. However, if you wish to put it on a tripod you’ll need to remove the monitor mount to access the standard tripod fixing. That’s not a big issue though and is done in a couple of seconds.I do have a few criticisms of the camera in operation though. The “on” indicator is quite a bright white light just to the left of the lens and it can be a bit of an irritation. You also find yourself looking at the light because you can’t see the camera lens very easily. Especially in a dark room, you really struggle to centre you vision on the camera. Additionally, the auto-focus does do a bit more hunting around then other cameras I’ve tested. If you wave your hand in an expressive way then you’ll notice on the recording that the focus has shifted noticeably. It is a very good camera, but I really think that the C920 is a better all-rounder.But what about the budget cameras?MHYDT 1080 Webcam:The difference is stark. The budget cameras feel much cheaper. The MHDYT felt little better than the standard of something you'd get out of a Christmas cracker. I'd also say that the little tripod that comes with it is a bit cheap, but it's a passable Gorillacam alternative. But in operation it's passable as a webcam. You're not going to be wanting to stream content to YouTube on it, but as a webcam it's acceptable. With ambient light it's a little on the dark side, but that's better than being oversaturated as you can do something to improve it. Using additional lighting, it's not bad at all. It also has its own integral light ring which is a nice touch and does make a bit of a difference. Not quite as good as a full seperate light ring, but it's not bad. This is a three-step light and a useful inclusion.For just under half of the price of the Logitech C920, the image is perfectly fine and likely to be a step up from your laptop's built in webcam. It also has a much better lens than the other budget cameras I've tested as there was little to no fish-eye distortion around the outer edges of the screen. The Logitechs don't have any hint of that, but budget cameras are notorious for this. The MHDYT scored well here.Feimuosi 2K webcam:The Feimuosi 2K webcam is a camera I tested a few months back. I gave it three stars, and although not currently on sale it is a generic camera chassis and available under other brands across Amazon. I was a little disappointed with the camera's performance, however it doesn't claim to be anything special and is available at a fraction of the price of the others. Usually in the £25 area, which is very good value. The picture is not at the level of the Logitech, suffering pretty nasty fish-eye around the edge of the screen, and the standard image is a touch dark so some detail is lost. However it is quite a nicely balanced image, and a distinct improvement on the in-built camera.Unbranded 4K Webcam:The unbranded 4K Webcam in this review had me quite excited before it arrived. I was really looking forward to reviewing this camera, with the claim of 4K at 60 frames per second a stand-out feature despite being a budget camera. Well, I've been left bitterly disappointed if I'm totally blunt. The image is washed out by terrible over exposure, and even sliding the brightness bar in Windows Camera was unable to salvage it. Added to that an awful fish-eye around the edges and it really is a disappointing experience. Despite claiming to be a much higher resolution than the Logitech C920 the Logitech's image detail is significantly better to me. I'm highly dubious about claims of 4K quality.As a budget option, and if you can't get your hands on a reasonably priced name-brand, then these cheaper cameras can do a job as a webcam. But if you have aspirations of doing any video content for YouTube, Twitch or Facebook gaming I'd recommend spending a little extra and hunting down a C920.

This webcam is a huge disappointment — and a hugely EXPENSIVE disappointment. As with most of the shonky Logitech gear they ship these days, this webcam comes with a "settings app" that you need to control it. Unfortunately, this app is fundamentally flawed, as it does not have the capability to actually 'save' any of the settings that a user selects! Such a heroically incompetent oversight, but one that means as soon as you close the settings app, the next call you receive (in Skype, Zoom, Teams or whatever), it reverts to its factory settings — which. (again, well done Logitech cretins) is massive widescreen view!What adds insult to injury is that the poorly coded Logitech settings app uses so much CPU and system power, that all the fans in my 2018 MacBook Pro are forced into full blow! This makes the camera pretty much unusable (a colleague remarked that it sounded like I was standing in traffic when on a Skype call!).So hello non-functioning, reverse-telescope video, goodbye any audio quality.Logitech — the worst of both worlds.For the record, Logitech have also taken their customer support offline but cleverly removing the functionality of the 'submit' button on their page for customers to raise support requests. If that doesn't win them cynical, sub-standard product hawker of the year, I don't know what will.In short: AVOID (at any price)Aand I would go further and say "avoid Logitech" — who seem to be involved in some particularly shady 'accountability avoidance' tactics.

Hallo Logitech, muss das sein? Ich war unsicher, ob ich - nach all den negativen Berichten - diese Webcam kaufen soll. Ich hab's getan und muss sagen: tolles Gerät. Warum nun also nur zwei Sterne. Ganz einfach: die aktuelle Firmware ist 2.2.50. Das Gerät wurde mit Version 1.0.379 ausgeliefert. Die Webcam lag wohl recht weit hinten im Regal? Also ab auf die Logitech-Website. Dort steht (Stand 24.07.2019) nur die PDF 'Erste Schritte' und die Software 'Camera Settings 2.10.4 ' zur Verfügung. Immerhin ist das die Version vom 08.07.2019 aber es ist nicht die aktuelle Firmware. Ein Firmware-Update ist hierüber auch nicht möglich, obwohl laut Logitech dies Bestandteil der Software sein soll. Die Logitech-Website kann man vergessen. Ein bunter Mix aus deutschen Überschriften, englischen Inhalten und Links, die letztlich doch nur zu einer Fehlermeldung führen: 'Entschuldigung! Diese Seite steht nicht zur Verfügung'.Die Community brachte auch keine Lösung, also musste Google her. Und ich wurde fündig. Auf logitech-drivers.com/logitech-brio-4k-pro/ findet man die Software. Neue Firmware installiert, leider funktioniert Skype nicht. Auf der Seite gibt es aber auch dafür Hilfe, wenn man nicht (!) die aktuelle Firmware 2.2.50 installiert. Also los, Downgrade angestoßen, den LogiSkype4BizFEPluginInstaller_1.2.290 installiert, dann noch FEC_Skype_for_Business_1.2.309 (er alleine scheint nicht zu reichen) und eine höhere Firmware auf den Rechner bzw. Webcam. Und ja, es funktioniert. Leider nimmt die Webcam aber nicht mehr die aktuelle Firmware 2.2.50 an, bei 2.0.28 ist Schluss. Immerhin ein Fortschritt, ich kam ja von 1.0.379. Ärgerlich und schändlich ist sowas. Aber davon nicht genug. Auf der Website verspricht Logitech nach wie vor, dass man den Hintergrund ausblenden kann. Nein, das geht definitiv nicht ohne Zusatzsoftware (bspw. ChromaCam). Da kann die Werbung und selbst die Software für Kameraeinstellungen das versprechen, es funktioniert nicht.Frage: Kann ich die Webcam empfehlen? Ja, wenn man Zeit, Geduld und Nerven und letztlich auch Hoffnung auf künftige Updates aufbringt. Alternativ gibt es sicherlich technisch vergleichbare Webcams. Was sich Logitech hier erlaubt ist eine absolute Frechheit. Unnötig zu sagen, dass sich der Logitech-Support bislang gar nicht gemeldet hat. Auch die Produktregistrierung hat nicht funktioniert (Fehlermeldung "Entschuldigung!....."). Im Einsatz hingegen ist die Webcam schon klasse. In dieser Preisklasse hätte ich aber ein wesentlich besseres Gesamtpaket erwartet.

Ich habe diese Kamera gekauft, da ich ein Video auf Youtube sah wie man mit Logitech Software Hintergründe ohne Greenscreen austauscht. Für mich ein absolutes Kaufargument gewesen.Nun seit wohl ein paar Monaten ist diese Software bei den Downloads auf der offiziellen Webseite verschwunden. Auch die Einstellungen haben sich bei der Kamerasoftware geändert. Wo noch eine volle Bandbreite an Einstellungen war, findet sich nun gähnende Leere. Nur Werbung mit der neuen Streaming Cam von Logitech.Auch die 4K Aufnahme bei 30fps funktionierte nicht. (System X570 Board, Ryzen 7 3700x, Nvidia RTX 2070 über USB 3.2 10gbit angeschlossen gehabt.Ein absolutes NoGo. Ich verstehe nicht das es immnernoch kaum Konkurrenzprodukte gibt. Ich boykottiere Logitech von nun an!Ich kann den Kauf dieser Kamera nicht empfehlen.
