    I see why this camera is so sought after- much better than my other webcam!

    I see why this camera is so sought after- much better than my other webcam!
    Pro's:- Exceptional image quality compared to other webcams- Lights up when in use, so you know when you are recording- Has a flip up lens cover, so you can make sure people can't see you when you don't want them toCon's:- More expensive than other webcamsI had bought another lower cost webcam prior to buying this webcam. The other camera was very highly rated on amazon and only cost $35 and did 1080p recording. Since it was cheap and highly rated, I bought it. After using the other camera in several zoom meetings, I really did not like its image quality. It just did not look clear at all. So, since this logitech camera was highly rated too, I decided to try this one instead.Compared to my other webcam, this camera has EXCEPTIONAL image quality. It looks so much better on screen than my other camera. It makes me look so much more professional in my online meetings. For this reason alone, it was worth the extra money I spent on this camera.We all hear those horror stories too about people accidentally recording when they shouldn't be. This camera has two nice features to keep me from recording when I don't want to. First it has a light bar around it that lights up when you are recording. It would be hard to not notice that the light is on. Also, it has a flip up lens cover to safeguard you from recording when you don't want to. I really like these two features of this camera.The only downside to this camera is that it is a bit more expensive than other cameras. However, after my experience with a cheaper camera, I definitely see that sometimes you get what you pay for. To me, the improvement in image quality was definitely worth the money.Overall, I highly recommend this product to you. Don't waste your time and money on something cheaper like I did at first. Go with this camera and win!**If you found my review helpful, please let Amazon know by clicking the helpful button below! Thanks!**

    Honestly, for the quality its a solid camera. It doesnt adjust to the best color but you cant have it all.

    The lightening heavily affects the colors, and most of the time you have to manually adjust it to get the brightness and performance you want. Yet its light weight and easy to setup so I think its a win.

    If you suddenly find yourself at home and needing a camera for all those Zoom, WebEx, Google Hangout meetings you find yourself on, check out the Logitech C920S Pro Webcam.

    I was used to using the built in camera's on my Apple Products, but decided to branch out and try this camera, because the quality was really good from what others were saying.

    Over the past few weeks, I have used it for Skype meetings, Google Hangouts and Zoom meetings and each time the camera adjusts nicely to the changing light conditions.

    The auto focus feature is nice, and it locks on to the facial features while keeping some things in the background also in focus. The 1080p feature delivers a sharp "true HD" picture. If you want a soft focus in your background, you will probably need to jump to a more expensive camera that can be mounted on a tripod.

    If the goal is to see people, and have a good web meeting experience, the Logitech C920S HD Pro is a great solution for a relatively modest entry price.

    This is a really nice camera for video chat or streaming, It has a lot of features and ability to mount it using a tripod or flexible camera stand. There is no software included with the camera, Once you plug it in then you get a Pro/Basic camera software.

    The software is Professional style setup including options for external mic setup and dual cameras. It's easy and Once you are done the camera works flawlessly with most programs and apps.

    Another great feature is the privacy shield, Only thing to mention as a con would be that it is plastic and could be easily lost.

    Seems to be essentially just the Logitech C920 with a simple plastic shutter cover. The C920 came out in 2010 when the iPhone 4 came out. The camera still works well but it feels like it has been left behind by how fast the photography improvements have come to the smartphone market in the last few years.

    The audio and video seem to be better than most laptops and positioning flexibility makes it very useful. I tested the video quality against the webcam in my 2017 vintage Lenovo Thinkpad T470's built in camera but the T470 has a weak reputation for AV. The video quality was much better on the Logitech but more current laptops probably close the gap.

    The simple physical shutter cover does a nice job making a clear visual confirmation that the webcam camera is not active. I didn't look but it would expect there are nice 3D printer designs for making good covers.

    I'm glad I got it but the whole webcam segment feels like it is stagnating.

    LINUX
    Works on Linux using the UVC driver. I must say, I really like how they're now engineering the webcam devices now adays! A universal driver, with the camera electronics providing several stream devices.

    DIFFERENCES C922 vs C920
    I'm guessing the differences between the C922 and C920, the C922 just provides a faster processor (CPU) for faster frame rates (fps) while lacking a privacy cover. Thinking they're assuming the blue LED light upon camera activation is adequate. Both provide glass lenses, while the C922 also includes a small stand. Likely, instead of other people looking down upon you, they're looking up at you.

    LINUX INSTALLATION
    Linux Kernel
    linux > drivers > Multimedia (media) > USB Video Class (UVC)

    If the module/driver hasn't already automagically loaded, then load the driver
    # modprobe uvcvideo

    Ensure you're using the correct audio record device, mine is hw:0,0 using an additional PCI-E Asus Xonar ST, although you may prefer the webcam's built-in.
    $ arecord --list-devices

    Ensure you're using the correct video device, mine is /dev/video2, as I have a Hauppauge TV/video capture card.
    $ v4l2-ctl --list-devices

    Capture some audio/video:
    $ ffmpeg -f v4l2 -video_size 640x480 -i /dev/video0 -f alsa -i hw:0,0 -c:v libx264 -preset ultrafast -c:a aac -crf 0 webcam.mp4

    Thinking on the whim in conjunction what TV ATSC uses, MPEG TS or PS, are probably the best defacto stream recording methods, easily played, edited or archived,
    $ ffmpeg -f v4l2 -i /dev/video2 -f alsa -i hw:0,0 webcam.ts

    NVIDIA NvENC H/W ACCELERATION
    When trying the maximum resolutions 1080p (1920x1080) or 720p (1280x720), all I get is broken audio/video sync, "Audio/Video desynchronisation detected!" FFMpeg error. See below TODO items. The Windows Logitech Camera Capture software averts the desynchronization by likely using Nvidia's NvEncoder, as I have a Nvidia Geforce 670 video card. Took me awhile, but I now have 1080p/720p stutter free on my Linux box, substitute "-video_size 1920x1080":

    $ ffmpeg -f v4l2 -input_format "mjpeg" -video_size 1080x720 -i /dev/video2 -f alsa -i hw:0,0 -pix_fmt yuv420p -acodec aac -c:v h264_nvenc -pixel_format yuv444p -y /tmp/output.mp4

    First, we specify the "mjpeg" instead of the "yuyv422" stream provided by the camera, as yuyv422 is rawvideo and still to heavy on resources here. My video size, then video device. Next I specify my alsa device for sound recording, rather than the cheap on-camera microphone. The key to using Nvidia's nvenc on linux or using FFMpeg, the placement of "-pix_fmt yuv420p" for converting the yuyv422/yuyvj422 input stream to a compatible Nvidia nvenc format, after the input streams and before specifying the output codecs! Then the output alsa and h264 codecs, along with the output filename. (FFMPeg's NvEnc page seems to specify incompatbile or out-dated flags/options.)

    TIP: The uncompressed raw video is provided by a yuyv422 stream device from the camera, specified by v4l-ctl. (eg. $ v4l2-ctl --list-formats --device /dev/video2) When pulling the yuyv422 raw video, can push only rawvideo into a *.yuv container. Specifying *.avi container tends to transcode audio/video. This interface is likely used for photos or snapshots by Logitech's Camera Capture.

    TIP: Instead of specifying non-indexed randomized /dev/video? numbers as Linux kernel drivers currently provide no indexing unlike additional sound cards, can access the specific camera by using, "/dev/v4l/by-id/usb-046d_HD_Pro_Webcam_C920_89A6F41F-video-index2" a symlink to /dev/video2 device.

    TIP: Windows FFMpeg options using DirectShow, within shell or Cygwin:
    List Devices
    $ ffmpeg -list_devices true -f dshow -i dummy
    List a Device's Resolutions

    TODO: Can record microphone and video camera activates, but FFMpeg created file doesn't seem to contain a video, only audio?

    NOTE: Oddly, the gspca_vc032x module will recognize the Logitech 920s (046d:0892) device string, so if experiencing collisions or problems, try blacklisting or removing the gspca_vc032x driver.

    TODO: My Logitech's software Camera Capture created video containers/files contain four additional audio streams rather than just two audio streams for stereo or one audio stream for mono. (FFprobe reports one VideoHandler stream with four SoundHandler containing three AAC streams.) Possibly just capturing all available microphone stream devices? Three are identical kbps with one lacking a few kbps, and upon further analyzing, three contain direct feed from my secondary sound card microphone by testing by directly tapping on the microphone. I could be wrong, and the webcam mics could be extremely sensitive sounding as if I'm tapping on it instead of my secondary mic. This is something that hopefully can be fixed, else it should be considered a bug.

    I bought this to use as a webcam on my MacBook Pro and it's been really great so far. Everyone I call comments on the excellent picture quality (much better than the standard camera in the MacBook itself), and it really was 'plug and play' - once plugged in you just had to go into the various system/FaceTime settings to select it as the chosen camera. It has a neat little adjustable bracket assembly which allows you to fix it securely onto the top of your laptop or monitor - whatever their thickness - and allows you to adjust the angle so it sits just right too. The lens cover is a nice touch, for that added security that no one can remotely spy on you! I did try to use the integrated microphones but had some complaints of echo, so I think the MacBook struggles to do proper echo cancellation if it's not using its own mic and speakers together. Other than that no complaints!

    I got this in August 2019. The image quality is very clear. I never use the microphone nor the speakers, as they both sound awful to me; however, that's okay because the video quality is what's important. For audio, I use separate speakers/headset and a dedicated microphone. I've never had one issue with this webcam. It is excellent

    I use it for business Skype calls. The flap cover for the camera is a nice feature when you want to block your video stream. Picture quality is excellent.

    Plug and Play, bought this for Teams and Zoom meetings and Discord. works immediately no driver or anything needed.

    I like the Logitech capture software that you can install, but OBS is better. Quality true 1080 no issues there super clear. Good Mics not much distortion from close or far. Works perfectly for COVID where everyone is on web meetings.

    I even used LINE, WebsApp, Facebook video calls with it and it works no issues.

    I like the C920s mainly for the physical shutter for better privacy, you never know who is watching.

    Definately recommend.
