No USB-C to USB-A adapter is included in the box by default, although this is something the store I purchased it from did include. Fortunately it seems to work fine with a 1 meter USB-C extension cable I purchased separately.
The camera is hard-wired with an 1.5 meter long USB-C 3.1 cable, which depending on your setup might be a bit short. Included with the StreamCam are two mounts one is your typical camera mount designed to be placed on top of your LCD display, and the other has a standard tripod screw mount, which is super handy and the one I ended up using alongside an off-brand GoPro bar mount, attached to my monitor arm. There are two colors available: white and "graphite," the latter of which is basically the black-equivalent version.
Perhaps this is overkill now, but as I am not someone who enjoys upgrading hardware often, I like to think that this camera is future proof. Not because I'm planning on doing any streaming, but simply because it offers a sharper looking image in most lighting conditions, and supports 1080p at 60 frames per second, if so desired. It actually looks like a better all-round choice, or perhaps just for anyone who prefers to have a slightly sharper and higher framerate capture (bandwidth permiting, of course) and spends some time in front of a webcam throughout the year, whatever their purpose may be.Īnd so, I chose to get the Logitech StreamCam. For what reason I am not entirely sure, as it does not necessarily seem like a great choice for that market.
The Logitech StreamCam is, as the name implies, targeted somewhat more towards the YouTube and Twitch gamers. But, I have to find a solution for this sooner or later, so let's just get it over with now, I thought. This is actually the primary reason it took me so long to purchase one in the first place. Since webcams are not necessarily cheap, I had a hard time convincing myself to get it. Coming from a Mac webcam, even a potato would be considered an upgrade in terms of image quality, but when looking at reviews and comparisons on YouTube, I couldn't help but notice the picture quality was decidedly fuzzy. One model that is highly recommended is the Logitech C922 – the successor to the still wildly popular C920. For a quick family call this certainly makes it easier, too. I was using a 12" MacBook for these up until now, but I wanted to get a webcam for my main computer as I sometimes need to look over or go through a project while in a meeting, and that's easier to do on my main macine. Last week I finally purchased a webcam for online meetings, something I had been holding off on for quite some time.
