Logitech C920 Pro Webcam

First topic message reminder :

Hello guys,

I recently got a new hd webcam for my set up. The webcam I got is the Logitech C920 Pro Webcam, which is one of Logitech's better webcams from what I can tell. The webcam is normally $50 dollars, but I got it for only $15 on clearance, which was the main reason I bought it. I plan to use it in conjunction with my built in webcam.

I have already tested the new webcam, and I gotta say for the most part it is an improvement from the built in cam, the color is more realistic and clearer and details are crisper (as they should be with a 1080p resolution cam). The only 2 things for me that are down side is the fact that the lens are not as wide angeled as my built in one (only 78 degrees according to the box) and so it has a narrower field of view. The 2nd downside I have with it, is that it does not perform well in dim light, when i have my flashing led lights going right behind me, the webcam is only able to make out a silhouette instead of my actual face, something even my built in webcam can do.

Overall though I am satisified with the webcam and would recommend it to anyone wanting a good, high definition webcam.

Do any of you have any experience with this webcam? If so, what are your thoughts on it?

that's good art i have the one below it the C615 it's not a bad cam either and it had been my Primary cam for shows and facebook Live once and a while it hasn't let me down Logitech makes good webcams what can i say

Logitech has some quality computer equipment for reasonably decent prices. I did get my C920 as a gift though, which means that I didn't have to pay for it.

We need to get your a second hd cam so you can so dual cam like me. Then again with your internet connection it might now work out well.

yep i would like to do Dual Cams in OBS it would be cool maybe a Disco Ball cam or something for when i do final countdown

i like your dual cam setup, the one pointing to the mixer and turntable looks cool.

Yep need to invest in another good webcam is all. They are only like 30 to 40 bucks. Of course I don't know how well your connection will actually handle it.

I currently have two webcams, but don't know how to incorporate them into my show. Such is NOT that big of a deal however, as I prefer to use my Logitech webcam for this.

to incorporate another webcam you do the same thing as you did when you added your first webcam.

Interesting, I'll have to give the matter some of my attention.

You would need another HD cam though Art to do it, because your other one is too low quality compared to the other one. It would look rather weird.

i had a means to do that for a while and i might order another Logitech cam off amazon soon eventually

I think a dual cam set up would look cool on your set up Aaron. 1 cam facing you, the other facing your set up. Assuming your connection can handle it, it would look great!

oh it can handle it after all it's only a video signal if both cams are doing the same fps in OBS there shouldn't be a problem remember most of all your video is being processed by The Graphics Card so it shouldn't be an Issue.

I will stick to using this cam for my BGRN shows until my pluto cam dies on me (I'm currently using this cam for Skype video calls).

there is really nothing to mess with in OBS since it's already setup by default once you mess something up it is a pain getting it back to normal again.

Exactly Art, you can add every cam that is hooked up to your computer quite easily, and switch between them just as easily. Once you add them in OBS, it's just a simple mouse click to switch between them.

Seeing as I have programed my Logitech cam into my OBS installation, I will keep using it for my BGRN shows.

Nothing wrong with having a 2nd cam available to use in OBS tho Art.

Perhaps but I will need some help to enable this. Plus I happen to like having separate cams for my BGRN show and Skype.

i don't think you will ever see another camera angle during my show i'm just down to the one i have now.

You just click the '+' under sources, then click video capture device and select the webcam you want to add.

Like this:

how did you get OBS to do a Light Theme Brandon by default it's set to dark in windows.

That's very interesting information there Brandon, I will have to think about doing this at some point in the future.

it's really easy all you have to do is just do video capture device then select what web cam you want for a second cam and add it very simple
