Logitech’s Brio webcam has a USB-C port on the back that allows you to swap out the included 2.2-meter USB-C USB-A cable if you need more range or want to upgrade to USB-C USB-A. As someone who likes to put webcams in all sorts of places, I appreciate the possibilities this port opens up, and I’d like to see more webcams equipped with it.
The Logitech Brio is a serious webcam for serious video calling. It features a 4K sensor, dual omnidirectional microphones with noise reduction, HDR, and Logitech’s RealLight 3 automatic exposure technology. ..
The webcam has a lot of features, but most of them won’t be used in video calls. Unless you’re using them to film post-edited content, the 4K or higher frame rates simply aren’t needed. Often, even lower resolutions are transmitted depending on the bandwidth.
If you want to get the most out of your camera, you should download either Logitech Brio or Logitech Capture software. The former lets you adjust basic settings like field of view, exposure, and white balance; the latter lets you add graphics, switch between other sources like the screen, and record directly to your computer.
The Brio’s 13-megapixel sensor seems to capture more detail than its cheaper 1080p counterparts, even when not recording or transmitting in 4K. It’s easier to see small text that would otherwise be blurry, and fine textures are easier to distinguish. You can also switch between different fields of view (FOV) thanks to the higher resolution sensor. ..
The Brio has a large 90-degree field of view, which means it can capture a large portion of the space directly in front of it. It’s a pretty awesome tool for capturing an entire room or multiple people at once. Using Logitech’s camera setup software or Logitech Capture, you can narrow the field of view to 65 or 75 degrees, with 65 degrees being the best value for focusing on a person.
This camera has a digital zoom feature, which means that when you use it in a specific spot, you effectively cut off half of what the camera captures. This can make it difficult to take great photos in tight spaces or close up details because the image will be reduced to a lower resolution.
