Looking to enhance your streaming setup? Tired of the grainy, pixelated quality from your laptop's built-in webcam? You'd think laptops would come with better cameras than your smartphone... anyway, let's take a look into my top recommendations for webcam models to take your stream to the next level.
Logitech C922: My Webcam of Choice For New Models
Now, the Logitech C920 used to be a Holy Grail for new and seasoned webcam models alike. Well, let me introduce to you it's successor, the Logitech C922 which has become my personal favourite webcam to date, and I've tested quite a few. The image quality is beautifully crystal clear, especially when you pair it with a good ring light! This HD 1080P webcam can currently be found for £80 on Amazon.
Logitech Brio:
The Logitech Brio is another webcam loved and recommended by seasoned webcam models, often considered an upgrade from the original C920. This webcam offers 4K streaming capabilities and features a wide-angle lens, allowing you to capture more of your surroundings during your streams. It's currently priced at £125 on Amazon, and while it comes highly recommended by other models, I would still consider the C922 or the Nexigo N970P before considering this webcam.
Nexigo N970P: Remote Controlled Webcam
Priced at £149.99, this 4K webcam offers a range of convenient features and screams professionalism. You can remotely turn the camera on or off, mute the microphone, and even zoom in to get a closer view, all thanks to the handy remote control. Plus, you can save preset positions on the remote, so you can quickly switch between preferred camera angles with the push of a button. Automatic face recognition technology ensures you stay centred in the frame, making your streams look more professional and engaging.
I hope this has given you a lot to think about and maybe even helped you decide which webcam you want to buy! I'm personally always torn between the Logitech C922 and the Nexigo N970P. Both are amazing webcams, you just need to decide whether you're willing to pay the extra money and whether you need a remote control and all the extra features the N970P offers.
Please keep in mind that prices may have changed since the time of writing this blog post. It's always a good idea to check the latest prices and reviews to make an informed decision when purchasing a webcam for your streaming setup.
