Customer Ratings & Reviews

Wasted money witb 3 cheap webcams before I spent just a little bit more for this one.

Picture quality is great on this webcam. The mount to a monitor isnt super strong but is fine if you don’t adjust it a lot.

Bought this as a gift for my nephew! He absolutely loved it! Was everything he hoped it would be!

Great entry level without spending hundreds on a dslr. Does a good job in low light as well.

Works fine I have no issues is use it mainly for zoom and it works fine.

great camera i love using it. i would recommend this to everyone

OK it was ok a little confused on the hook up but once directed by a friend I worked out well for me

Easy to install, great image, exceeds my expectations

Does exactly as described. Great fir gaming amd online meetings.

First off, anytime you try to adjust the camera the whole thing just pulls right off of the monitor. To solve this problem, they have you use a sticky pad to attach it to the back of your monitor. Ok, so you go ahead and muck up the back of your monitor with their sticky pad. You go to adjust the camera again but now the camera itself just pulls right off of the mount. Why? because its only held onto the mount with a magnet. This camera is unusable due to its absolutely horrible design. Should be 20 bucks.

Excellent web cam, effective for professional virtual meetings

Good design. Smaller lip that hangs over the monitor than previous models, which is a plus for monitors with thin bezels so it doesn't block the screen. Integrated privacy shutter is slick. USB connection is usb-c only, so you may need an adapter.

It vastly improved my resolution on Zoom and Skype.

Easy to install with clear photo during virtual meetings.

This has worked very well for us! I would recommend you buy it!

Plug and go. Use for business meetings and have had no issues.

Since so many people started working from home, webcams have become borderline essential equipment again. Unfortunately, webcam designs haven’t really kept up with changing designs in tech. All through the pandemic I’ve been using a venerable C920 from Logitech. And it worked… mostly. The visuals it produced were still good but it leaned over a bit too far into my display area and had trouble gripping to my curved monitor, leading to it frequently falling forward onto my desk if my dog bumped into something and made it shake. I’d been thinking about possible upgrades for a few months when the Brio 500 caught my eye, and I decided to give it a shot. And oh my, what a difference ten years can make. The brio is a bit chunkier than a lot of the previous webcam designs you might be used to. The cylindrical body adds a lot of volume, and there are significantly more moving parts than any webcam I’d previously had experience with. But with that comes a lot of much needed flexibility. The stand feels almost infinitely adjustable compared to what I got with the C920, and can affix to a monitor either via friction or an adhesive pad that does an admirable job of holding it to the back of my curved monitor. The mounting point to the camera itself can flip 180 degrees if needed, intended to allow you to quickly switch to showing documents on your desktop during a video conference, and when you don’t need it you can just fold the whole thing back behind your screen to keep it out of the way. There’s also built in strain relief since the camera itself is held by a magnet rather than permanently affixed, so you don’t need to worry about a cable snag pulling it off your monitor (or pulling the monitor off the desk.) Which is all to say that the thing finally stays in place and out of the way on my curved monitor, something I imagine a lot of people with similar hardware can appreciate. The stand isn’t all the camera has going for it though. Image quality on this thing is great by webcam standards too. The HD image it produces is crisp and has surprisingly good color accuracy (though, it must be pointed out, still inferior to a proper handheld camera.) It comes equipped with a wide angle lens with a ninety degree field of view, which means it can easily capture three to four adult in the frame. This makes it ideal for home use where you’re likely to have people crowding around the camera or office conference rooms. Of course if you’re like me and only plan to use it for solo calls there are options to change that. Using either the Logitech Tune or GHub apps you can restrict the FOV to something a little tighter via digital zoom, as well as manually configuring the image to match your preferences. Audio is provided by an array mic which offers decent noise isolation, though I suspect most will prefer to stick to headsets if they have the option. And the rotating privacy screen does a good job of blocking visuals – though it doesn’t completely cut the hardware connection. There are a few downsides to the Brio 500 I should mention though. First up is that unlike some of the other cameras in the Brio line it does not come with the IR camera needed for it to work for Windows Hello facial recognition. I also found that the magnetic coupler on the camera, which doubles as the plug for the integrated threaded mount, tends to unscrew at the drop of a hat. If I need to turn the camera to the side at all it tends to start to unscrew, making it easier to just pull the whole thing off the magnet and clip it back on at the right angle. Also it should be noted that this particular model only works with a USB-C connection, which still tend to be a bit sparce on most desktops. Overall I’d recommend the Brio 500 for anyone working from home with an unusually shaped monitor, hosting video calls with the whole family, or looking for a good video conferencing solution for smaller conference rooms.

Works as expected, except for during my Zoom calls Zoom says Brio 500 has a speaker. I don't see a speaker on the device. it may be Zoom or the product. Don't know as of this writing.

A webcam that is definitely more than adequate for the average user. The ideal/targeted user of this webcam are professionals that like to show their work on their desk or around/behind them (teacher, designer, artist, architect, etc.). Pros: -Plug and play right out of the box, no installation or steps needed to get the webcam running on various video-conferencing platforms. Easy to use and get up and running. -Love the built in privacy shutter. Just turn the round knob on the end like a chap stick to cover/open. Shutter is a different color so you can easily see when its down or up. -Uses USB-C to connect to your PC (pro in that it is future proof), cable has plenty of length. -Mounts easily and securely to top/back of monitor, comes with double sided tape to secure onto your monitor but I didn't feel like I needed to use it. -Very sturdy magnetic connection keeps the webcam connected to the monitor mount. -Show Mode! You can flip the camera to look straight down, and the image/feed auto-rotates on your PC. This is great if you want to write/draw something out on paper and want people to see or follow along. Ideal webcam if you are an artist, teacher, designer, etc. -Can easily adjust the angle of the webcam up, down, left, right. -Color, lighting, video is smooth and crystal clear. Lens has wide angle so can see quite a bit. -Very compact and portable, easy to grab and go if you want to travel with this webcam. -Not required or necessary but you can download an app that allows you to further tweak and adjust settings of the webcam to your liking (such as zoom out, etc.). -Comes loaded with features (tracking/framing, zoom out, color/image resolution adjustments, etc.) that might be overwhelming to most average users. -Up to 60 fps and 1080p support. Cons: -Uses USB-C to connect to your PC (con in that my current docking station has limited USB-C ports and most third-party USB-C to USB-A adapters don't support video delivery, but other reviewers seem to have no issues using an adapter) -At first I thought my webcam was covered in white spots, looked like hard water residue, but turns out that's just the Graphite color/design of the webcam - thought that was weird. -I feel like I need to use both hands when adjusting the webcam to Show Mode, not a quick or fluid adjustment that can be done with one hand. Note: I used this on my monitor that is connected to a Windows PC. Tested on Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom.

Very easy to install (plug and play) and very impressed with the picture quality. Works great for our Teams meetings. Very happy with our purchase.
