Owner of a Logitech Brio 4K here. The quality is terrible just like this article mentions and I would have happily spent the money elsewhere if I had options.
I used to have a tiny Canon digital camera in 2003 that had better quality than this.

- shaicoleman 6y agoIt's terrible out of the box. With a firmware update and bit of tweaking it's not bad. Under Linux, you can use guvcview to play with the settings to your liking. Here's an example command line for Zoom purposes: v4l2-ctl --set-fmt-video=width=1280,height=720,pixelformat=MJPG --set-parm 30 --set-ctrl=contrast=32 --set-ctrl=sharpness=176 --set-ctrl=zoom_absolute=133 --set-ctrl=tilt_absolute=-36000 -d /dev/v4l/by-id/usb-046d_Logitech_BRIO_*-video-index0 For Windows, you can check out the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwXR27wLhoE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwXR27wLhoE For webcams, the only other decent option is the Avermedia PW513, which only came out a month ago.
- FeistySkink 6y agoI've been trying to find PW513, but it doesn't seem to exist anywhere last time I checked. Is it out for sale already?
- shaicoleman 6y agoPW513 is available on US sites (e.g. amazon.com/bestbuy.com), but not globally yet. See also my comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25506629 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25506629
