Logitech StreamCam With USB-C Interface
Up To 60FPS At 1080P HD
The ideal high-def web cameras have some features in common that make for an ideal streaming Mac web camera choice:
- USB Video Class - UVC Compatible With OSX 10.5+
- 720p and 1080p or 4K HD Resolution Sensors
- Optical Quality Glass Lenses
- Onboard H.264 Video Compression
- Smooth Webcam Autofocus
- High-Quality Internal Microphones
- Standard Camera Tripod Mount Hole
Top Pick: Affordable Logitech Mac Streaming Camera
Full 1080p @ 30FPS - 720p @ 60FPS
Ask any seasoned teleconference host and many will say the Logitech C922 Stream Pro is the new number one choice. This top-quality premium webcam supports H.264 video compression and is optimized for streaming video at high frame-rates. It currently retails around $99 USD. It's premium optical quality lens delivers exceptional image clarity. It far exceeds the color accuracy and sharpness of any Apple iSight camera that might be built into your MacBook, iMac or Apple Cinema Display. Dual microphones cancel echo and noise and deliver good audio response, though many live streaming hosts prefer a dedicated XLR or USB microphone for maximum audio quality.
Comparable in video quality to Logitech's premium cameras, the Microsoft LifeCam Pro rivals the C922x with high-quality glass optics, clean sounding microphone, and tripod mount. Also notable is Microsoft's TrueColor technology for accurate color in a wide variety of lighting situations.
Another great choice: The Logitech C930e has an even higher megapixel camera sensor - and most notably - a wider-angle field of view (FOV) than most webcams. The 90 degree wide angle is perhaps best for those who have 2 or 3 people sitting side-by-side during a streaming video chat since it incorporates more of what's around you in the frame. Most other consumer webcams are in the 70-78 degree FOV range which is better suited for one person at close range.
For those wanting high-quality livestream chats on a budget might consider the Logitech C615. This small, portable and folding webcam still delivers a superior HD image, has an optical quality glass lens, and a single high-quality microphone element with built-in noise reduction. At a price around $45 USD, it's an excellent value. Although it doesn't have H.264 compression, with good webcam lighting it offers smooth, high frame rate streams.
Although all of these live stream friendly webcam's feature an adjustable mounting clip, you should really take advantage of these webcam's tripod mounting hole for stability and precision placement and angles of your Skype, LiveFire, Google Hangout or YouTube Live teleconferencing session. Low-cost desktop mini-tripods are popular with streaming IM'ers, but depending on your setup, a full-size floor tripod or a desk mounted boom camera arm may be preferable.
A lot has to do with the specific camera you are using. Some come with their own software that you may choose to use. Some have software that is not Mac compatible (Sony). You may choose to have all photos downloaded to iPhoto (or Aperture). Some cameras have RAW formats that you cannot use in iPhoto (or Aperture), others do.
Essentially take the USB connector that comes with the camera, plug it into the MBP, turn the camera on and you should be ready to go. Select your download site and start editing. It also helps if you read the specifications of the particular camera in regards to Mac compatibility and the user manual.
