Advantages and disadvantages

Logitech cameras have their own characteristics, but almost all of them are positive. If you want to purchase any of the models, you should study the company as a whole and see what the advantages and disadvantages of the products are.

We will discuss the positive points first.

• A high resolution. You can buy cameras with different characteristics, but everywhere the resolution will be from 1280×720 to 3840×2160, which allows you to get clear frames both in photographs and in recordings.
• Minimum computer requirements. Cameras are suitable for almost all systems and immediately after switching on via USB they start working. In this case, no additional drivers or any special programs are required.
• Nice microphone. The microphone is included in all models, it is built-in. There is noise cancellation almost everywhere, which makes people’s voices clearer without any interference. But even if you take a webcam where this feature is available, the sound quality will be very good.
• Motion Sensor. This function allows you to record actions in motion, turn on and off the backlight, and also sound when the camera detects movement. Wide angle of view allows you to deviate from the center of the camera, but stay in the frame.
• Zoom. Allows you to shoot any room, focusing on every detail. Even in the largest conference room, there will be no problem with small and blurry images. However, all this needs to be configured through special programs, which is done in a couple of minutes.
• The material from which the body is made. Cameras are black, made of material that will not scratch at all and salesmen will not be scratched when hit, but you still need to be careful.
• Possibility to return the camera to 360 degrees. Allows you to shoot from any corner of the room by rotating the webcam as needed for perfect shots.
• Long wire. This feature makes it possible to use the webcam at a considerable distance (1.5 meters) from the computer.

There are very few disadvantages, but still they are.

• High price of some models. Despite the fact that the price corresponds to the quality, it does not please everyone. There are models that can be purchased for 1.5 thousand rubles, and there are those that cost 70-80 thousand. Of course, the quality of shooting and other characteristics will be completely different, but the are still shocking.
• Inconvenient mount. All cameras have a special mount, and some also have the ability to mount on a trIPod. But there is not a single model where the mount would normally hold the device. It is weak everywhere, made of plastic and does NOT handle the weight of the webcam.
• Small size. Not quite a minus, rather a feature, but many do not like it.

All About Logitech Webcams

• Advantages and disadvantages
• Model overview
• How to choose?
• User’s manual

In the age of modern technology, you can work without leaving your home. There are a large number of vacancies that require the desire to work and the presence of a webcam, which will allow the boss to interview you and communicate on work topics.

The webcam connects to the computer and transmits the image directly to it. Let’s take a closer look at products from the Logitech brand. one of the popular manufacturers of such equIPment.

How to choose?

First of all, you need to decide what the camera is for and how it will be used. Depending on the purpose, different characteristics are needed, therefore, different models. Mostly webcams are required for conferences, calls to family and friends using Skype, for streaming and recording on various sites.

When choosing, we pay attention to a number of factors.

• Sensor resolution. It is measured in megapixels and can be from 0.3 to 3. The image quality depends on THESE numbers.
• Resolution and photo. And the size of the frame is also important, in the Logitech camera it can be from 1280×720 to 3840×2160.
• Frame rate per second. This parameter affects the transmission of motion in the recording. It can be from 7 to 60, but better pay attention to models where the speed is at least 30 frames per second.
• Focusing. Many cameras have automatic focusing, which is very convenient. In the process of communication, you can change the position of the body, but still stay in the frame and NOT lose the clarity of the image.
• Viewing angle. Affects the image that will be seen as a result. Here, the higher the number, the better.
• Microphone. All cameras have a built-in microphone, but you should pay attention to the fact that cameras have noise cancellation so that only your voice is heard, and not shouts from the street or loud music in neighbors.

Model overview

A large selection of webcams with different characteristics and at different makes you think about which one to choose. To answer this question, consider the most popular models among users.

• Logitech Brio Stream. A camera that can shoot Ultra HD 4K at 60 frames per second. When rendering, the colors are as bright as in life, which is very pleasing. The lighting will NOT affect the resulting image in any way, because the camera adjusts automatically. The frame resolution is 3840×2160, which guarantees clear footage even while driving. The camera weighs only 63 grams, the device is, in princIPle, small and almost invisible on the computer.

• Logitech C920s. The model is equIPped with two microphones, which are able to clearly transmit sounds without any interference. In addition, an autofocus system is built in, which helps to take good shots. Shooting takes place in Full HD 1080p, the image is quickly transferred, which is very important during conferences. As with the previous model, the camera is equIPped with light correction. The difference is the new Capture software and the price. 6.4 thousand rubles.

• Logitech C615. Unusual web-camera that can be folded and fit even in a. Quality allows communication with good picture and no interference. The model is compatible with all computers and does not require additional software to operate. Again, autofocus and automatic lighting correction, which is very convenient for communication. The model has a guarantee for 12 months and a price of 4 thousand rubles.

• Logitech C525. In 720 g. And noise reduction will not only allow you to communicate, but also to record on various sites. The camera can be mounted on any flat surface and filmed at a great distance, the wire length is 1.83 meters. The device itself is larger. it weighs 88 grams and has the following dimensions: 40.4×31.75×68.5 mm.

• Logitech C310. This web-camera was produced a long time ago, but it has NOT undergone any changes, being a very good option. Auto tracking function, lighting correction, high quality sound and image transmission. all this makes users happy. Everyone loves the price even more. only 2.5 thousand rubles for such a high-quality model.

• Logitech C922. The cheapest model, but the quality does NOT get worse from this. High definition and recording in 720, like many cameras, but for 1.5 thousand rubles. The image is automatically corrected, the brightness and colors of the picture are adjusted. The built-in microphone makes communication even more convenient. The only drawback is the mount, which is not suitable for every monitor.

• Logitech Brio Ultra HD Pro Webcam. The small model allows you to record images in Full HD 4K quality. Built-in microphone, quick setup and quick connections make this model one of the best. Stylish design (you can choose Not only a black camera, but also an orange one), of course, they don’t pay 15 thousand rubles for it, but excellent sound and a removable USB-cable are a reason.

• Logitech C925e Business Webcam. The model can be purchased for 5-6 thousand rubles, while receiving a small camera, which is certified for business. The shooting speed reaches 30 frames per second, which makes communication more productive. Field of view is 78 degrees.

• Logitech B525 Foldable Business Webcam. The webcam is also made specifically for business, but with it you can also tutor over the Internet and play games over the network. The sound quality is excellent and the voices are intelligible, which is very important in business communication. The front of the camera is closed to protect the device from dust. The price of 3 thousand rubles for such a device is not so much.

• Logitech C930e Business Webcam. A model with an unusual design, but with the same characteristics. Good quality, fast autofocus, excellent color reproduction and zoom, nice body material. You can endlessly list the positive aspects, so let’s turn to the disadvantages. It is one, but very large. the price is around 10 thousand rubles. For such quality, they demand a good amount, which is NOT available to everyone.

And there are also round cameras. Logitech ConferenceCam Group and Logitech ConferenceCam PTZ Pro 2, but they do not differ in anything, except for the shape and price. these are the same models for which you will have to pay 70-80 thousand rubles.

User’s manual

Upon purchase, we receive a webcam with a USB cable, the length of which is from 0.5 to 1.8 meters, various documentation and special programs (they may come in handy during installation). If you suddenly need additional drivers, you can find them on the official website, but before that you need to find out and indicate for which model the program.

Then you need to connect the device and configure it. The setup is very simple. there is almost nothing to do. After connecting the camera to the computer, the installation window will appear. The operating system will independently recognize the device, and in a couple of minutes it will be ready for use.

Configuring your Logitech QuickCam Messenger webcam on Linux

I have long wanted to buy a similar device (webcam), but I was too lazy and didn’t get my hands on it. Until my old friend gave me this miracle for my birthday. How to configure a WEB-camera in Linux with half a kick. Will be said here.

Training
Several Preliminary Notes. If you did NOT assemble it yourself, you can skIP this part.
Note that the camera is in Linux. The same device as the TV-Tuner. Therefore, all comments on the TV-Tuner are valid. If you have a distribution kernel. Everything is already included there, but for fans of self-assembled kernels, you need to enable:

• V4l and all eGoPro protocols (v4l monolith itself, protocols. Modules)
• I2c and eGoPro protocols (as well as In fact, as when installing TV tuners)

If it is in the kernel, further will NOT be a problem.

Installation
They write on the box: installation is as simple as one-two-three. In general, this is how it worked out for me:

1. Install the software.
We launch the two attached disks from the balcony and instead install from the repository:

Everything is now ready. Turn on the camera and start the software.

2. Connect the camera
Connect the USB plug of the camera, it will blink green LED. Just in case, look at the dmesg outputs, something like this will appear:

USB 4-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 6
usb 4-1: configuration # 1 chosen from 1 choice
/usr/src/modules/gspca/gspca_core.C: USB SPCA5XX camera found. (ZC3XX)
/usr/src/modules/gspca/gspca_core.C: [spca5xx_probe: 3887] Camera type JPEG
/usr/src/modules/gspca/Vimicro/zc3xx.H: [zc3xx_config: 515] Sensor ID: 7
/usr/src/modules/gspca/Vimicro/zc3xx.H: [zc3xx_config: 597] Find Sensor HV7131R (c)
/usr/src/modules/gspca/gspca_core.C: [spca5xx_getcapability: 1165] maxw 640 maxh 480 minw 176 minh 144
usbcore: registered new interface driver gspca
/usr/src/modules/gspca/gspca_core.C: gspca driver 01.00.04 registeredThe diagnostic findings show that the chIP is identifiable. The device file / dev /0 should now appear. This is our webcam. After that, we launch the program for working with cameras (we installed it in the previous step):

If everything was done correctly, you will see an image in the program window and a simple image control interface (brightness / contrast, saturation, filters, etc.). Here’s what I saw:

3. Communicate
The freshly connected device can now be used in Wengophone for conferences with friends and colleagues. I must say that the processor loads image processing from the camera very weakly, no more than 4-5% (at least on my laptop).

In addition to communicating in VoIP systems, you can stretch your imagination and find many interesting uses for webcams. You can use this device as a security camera or telemetry: the streamer will treat it like a regular tuner and pull images from there at specified intervals. All in all, many uses.

Outcome
Despite the fact that the box says only about the only operating system on Planet Earth, Logitech QuickCam Messenger works fine on Linux. And it is configured in the same three steps. Minus hundreds of megabytes of useless GoProprietary garbage.

During the setup process, I used this wonderful and quick guide, since I have a self-assembled kernel. For those who use the distribution, this guide may be useful. This manual has been tested under the following conditions: kernel 2.6.22, compiler gcc 3.4, Debian GNU / Linux Etch v4.0, gspca-source 01.00.04-2.

Dmig comments. Dec 3. 2007, 10:36:00 PM

I have this same camera for a year already. In ubuntu, dapper installed the driver itself, in edgy. From rap sources then module assistant, to feisty. Out of the box, in gutsy too.

There are problems with it: the gspca / spca5xx drivers (in ubuntu gutsy / feisty) do not support all its settings. They DO NOT know how to change the frame rate between 25 and 30 Hz (flickering of light sources), the white balance adjustment does not seem to work either. It does NOT know how to shoot in vga resolution with a frequency of 30 frames. Switching permission to move camoramu, ekiga still lives after that, but not for long.

In addition to camorama, there is also cheese. it is simpler, knows how to write. There are some effects.

It would also be interesting to use the camera button. There is a suspicion that scannerbuttond will swallow it if you teach him to perceive the camera (somewhere in the source code, write the device id).

Yes, of course 🙂 It’s strange, it seems like I took the text from the command output, but I still can get through the jamb. Thanks for the bugfix.

But after loading the module, it swears at FATAL: Error inserting gspca (/lib/modules/2.6.18-5-686/kernel/drivers/usb/media/gspca.Ko): Invalid module format
Most likely, the kernel is built with one version of the compiler, and the. Other.

Gspca: version magic “2.6.18-5-686 SMP mod_unload 686 REGPARM gcc-4.2 ‘should be’ 2.6.18-5-686 SMP mod_unload 686 REGPARM gcc-4.1”
So it is: install version 4.1 of gcc and Build the module again.

This is clear. I just decided to share how I raised the camera. And then people on ubuntuforum look not to love. I will send here 🙂

Yes, something with the resolution is crooked there. But I adapted it as an IR camera (removed the filter) and in this form it suits me.

Kirill Zabarniuk comments. 8 Mar 2008, 23:30:00

Thanks for the post, I used it as a starting point when connecting the genius look 110 WEB-camera.
There are still a couple of comments.
1) Those who use the standard kernel in etch can install a ready-made package with modules directly from the repository, for example gspca-modules-2.6-686, without additional gestures with sources, make-s, etc. (which is good for beginners).
2) The way to build modules through make. It’s more like Slack-wei, IMHO. I did this:
view /usr/src/gspca-01.00.20/debian/README.Debian (key point. Reading the documentation :))
m-a.L 2.6.24 prepare
m-a a-b.L 2.6.24 gspca
as a result, we get a ready-made Deb package, which can be installed or removed using dpkg (that is, conventional means in debian). If possible, I think this should be reflected in the article.
3) And yet, when building modules for the 2.6.24 kernel from gspcsources in etch, I received errors (. CFLAGS was changed in “/ Usr / src / modules / gspca / Makefile”.). Took gspca-source from testing. And everything went smoothly

If you did NOT compile the kernel yourself (and most likely you did), then for standard distribution kernels, it is enough to install the gspca-modules-VERSION package (you can find out your kernel version by running the uname.R command). In this case, you do not need to collect anything yourself. That’s what I do 🙂

After that, my Nameless Camera worked in Camorama and Skype. The required module is loaded automatically when the camera is connected.

Ps. Think of modules as “drivers”. Each of them is a separate file, which the system can connect if necessary. Automatic or forced (by modprobe command). In the case of Linux, most device modules are usually distributed as-is and are included in the standard kernel distribution. In rare cases, they need to be installed / assembled separately.

I have a Logitech Webcam C160. I plugged it in. I’m trying to make a call at the agent. They can hear me, but they can’t see me. Why is that? Help set up communication.
