Obs Logitech Camera As Usb

USE: We run a couple of these cameras in our small (100 ppl) church. The cameras are running via USB (~50ft cable runs) with a USB splitter, and our congregation has been very pleased with the quality of the image for live-streaming. We pre-program scenes for each camera in OBS studio and use our presentation software to trigger MIDI signals which translate to key presses in OBS studio to control which scene/camera is shown, making it extremely operator-friendly. We installed the first of these cameras in 2020 for live-streaming services during the COVID shutdowns and it has worked great for more than a year. Because the automatic settings on the camera are perfect for the sanctuary environment and the pre-programming of our system is already set up, it takes less than 30 minutes to add in an additional camera to expand the system. As the title of this review says, the cameras work so well that we bought another. And we may continue to add more in the future as our church keeps growing.

This is my second Logitech camera (I gave my first one to a family member). Both cameras work perfectly. I've used the BRIO for a number of months. I'm most impressed with the image quality. I wanted a camera with high resolution and one that would allow me to change the angle of view (I use the 65-degree angle). A plus is the ability to change USB cords. One negative is the way Logitech mounted the 1/4 tripod mount necessitating the removal of the mounting clip to access the threaded mount. I had to look at YouTube to find the trick behind removing the clip without breaking it. (Logitech does sell replacement mounting clips--people must be breaking them?) In the end, great image quality, three user-selected view angles, and a replacement USB cord are what sell this camera.

If you need a camera separate from your laptop to to use for yourself or a group meeting, this Logitech camera will fit the bill. The picture quality is impressive and is dual built in mics give good sound quality. You get more than you expect for this low cost camera. You may need to convert its USB C output to a USB A but that a $10 fix.

We were using this as a secondary mixer for feeding audio to OBS. We have since switched to using a mixer with a USB feed to OBS. While were using this it was great. Hook up is simple and audio quality was excellent. Having the earphone jacks for monitoring at this point was also very helpful. Works great for both stereo and mono applications.

I have two of these now. One is permanently installed in a local church where I set them up to live stream their Sunday services. It works in conjunction with OBS Studio, taking a feed from the AViPAS 1080-HD PTZ camera and the house audio system. I use a Kramer 590-TXr and 590-RXr HDBaseT system to get the signal 200' from the balcony of the sanctuary of the church into the office and a Lenovo IdeaStation desktop computer. The Kramer system lets me embed line-level audio from the house mixer into the HDMI connection. This system has been working reliably since late June. Only issues have been with OBS; often times the streaming operator can't hear the house audio because it is muted in OBS - no idea why, but it's an easy enough fix to unmute it locally. Only negative I would have is that it's not likely you'll come across a USB 3.0 connection that uses the older Type-A connector. Every USB 3.0 port I come across is Type-C. Magewell should just include a Type-A female to Type-C male adapter with every USB Capture HDMI, as you're going to need it anyway.

The iMac internal mic is not great. The cheap USB mic I got to replace it worked ok with many OBS Studio audio filters. The G-Track Pro works in OBS with just the noise gate filter as all it needs and that's just to suppress my keyboard sounds. Nice. I have the silver one. I like the color. Overall, I'd recommend this mic. Oh, I have it sitting on one of those giant desk/mouse pads and it seems to help with the bump on the desk noise as it provides extra padding below its own stand which already has a small pad under the base. BTW I always wanted to know the base diameter and it is 4 9/16 (that just a tad over 4.5 inches across to be lazy.)

Works with OBS natively on Mac! The device itself is tiny, made of really solid stainless steel. The connection to a computer is an 18 reversible cable with two USB 3.0 male ends (NOT USB C). Adapter needed for USB C. Latency is normal, but there's no HDMI passthrough. Between this and the ElGato HD60+, I'd pick the ElGato (I now own both). USB C support + HDMI passthrough at almost half the price. Is it a quality device? Yes. Expensive? Yes.

Works great with logitech camera.

Works great with OBS and other apps.

Just works. Plugged it into USB3, and the HDMI attached camera simply works everywhere I want to use it, like OBS Studio, Zoom, etc...
