Logitech Brio Ultra HD Webcam for Video Conferencing, Recording and Streaming, 4K

Product Information

I was able to verify the 4K capability using Windows 10's included Camera app, which indeed let me record a video at 3,840-by-2,160 pixels, for 8.3 million pixels, which is what you expect with 4K. I also tested 4K broadcasting with a YouTube live stream, though compression for network bandwidth made the result not as sharp as the 4K you see on, say, ESPN on your HDTV. However, overall, this is an excellent webcam ideal for high-quality streaming or business use. What Are the Similarities Between the Logitech Brio and C920? The C920 also comes with two built-in microphones, but once again, I recommend using something external instead.

All the top streamers use a quality webcam, so how do the Logitech Brio and C920 compare with their features? Resolution The AVerMedia PW513 is a very cost-effective option (it is cheaper than the two Logitech webcams) but still provides a decent level of performance.There isn’t anything particularly wrong with the mic on these two webcams, although I would recommend purchasing a separate microphone for better audio quality. Both are plug-and-play with USB connectivity (it doesn’t require the Logitech webcam software, but it is highly recommended for them to function properly). Answer: You can use both the Logitech Brio and the C920 with a Mac. Previous versions of the Logitech software weren’t compatible with a Mac device, but the most up-to-date versions do work on Apple computers. There isn’t anything that massively stands out with this webcam, but it offers basic functionality with a high-quality video resolution. The picture can look a bit soft and often slightly out-of-focus, but it represents a good budget option for streaming content for the cost of this webcam. NexiGo N950P The cost is a little on the high side, so if you are in the market for a proper budget webcam to start up your streaming channels, you might want to look at the C920 or the AVerMedia PW513 instead.

This is the width that a webcam lens can capture, so this is an important feature to look at if you want a broad field of view. A 65-degree field of view is enough to capture one person in a stream. The C920 is perfect for older machines as the recording and streaming performance hit is minimal on your CPU, even on an older computer. This webcam allows for 4K picture quality, and overall it is more on par with the Brio and the C920. There is also a digital zoom function, while the handy remote control makes adjusting the brightness, field of view, mic volume, and other settings a breeze. Logitech’s C920 webcam is a great choice for your streams, video chats, and recordings. It has H.264 video compression, a Full HD glass lens with precisely tuned autofocus, and automatic low-light correction, which gives you the best quality possible. To record videos or take pictures, Logitech recommends the Microsoft Camera App available from the Windows store, fully compatible with Logitech BRIO STREAM.

Windows Hello is a fun, personal, and fast way to log into your Windows 10 PC. Just show your face, and you're in. Hello is a biometric system that also supports fingerprint readers and other devices, but the face sign-in is what it's known for. Logitech's documentation says that the Brio is certified for Windows Hello because of its IR sensor, and the plug-and-play installation will let you set it up for Hello use in the Windows Settings app. The Logitech C920 has 1080p / 720p resolutions, whereas the Logitech Brio has 720p, 1080p, and 4K resolutions. When purchasing a new webcam, don’t focus entirely on the resolution as the main factor. Some video conferencing software caps the resolution, although, with Twitch, you can stream in 4K, but it does require at least 8 Mbps upload speed. Field of View If you are looking for a decent quality budget option, the C920 does the job, but it won’t offer the same quality as the Brio, which will cost more money. Logitech Brio and C920 – Performance Like the Logitech C920, the Brio is very easy to set up. You can just plug-and-play this device, although I recommend installing the Logitech webcam software to access additional features.
