External if you want to make a good impression! 5 recommended webcams for telework

A webcam that also works to increase the presence of meetings

　Recently, we often see computers with built-in cameras. However, they are not necessarily equipped with good ones. If you want to make a good impression in video conferencing, consider using an external webcam. In this article, we will introduce three points and recommended products for what kind of web camera should be selected to give a good impression to the other party of the video conference. ●Choose by image quality and frame rate　In order to accurately convey your facial expressions and emotions, you want to choose something with high image quality. If there is a lot of noise or the resolution is low, it will give the impression of being inorganic. Also, the frame rate is important to give the impression that you are talking smoothly and directly. 60FPS is ideal, but I want at least 30FPS. ●If there is a correction function, the camera image will be improved　Some webcams automatically correct the camera image. Some of them have a correction function that gives a good impression to the other party, and it is a function that you definitely want to check. ●The often-forgotten microphone function is also important　　In video conferencing, not only video but also audio is important. If you choose a microphone with high performance, it will lead to a good impression in terms of voice. Some also have a noise-cancelling function, which is useful for video conferencing in environments where the surrounding sounds are a concern, such as when family members live together. Based on these points for choosing, I would like to introduce five recommended webcams. ●logitech Brio C1000eR Logitech Brio C1000eR is logitech's flagship webcam. It bills itself as "the best webcam". It supports 4K resolution and achieves a frame rate of 60 FPS for Full HD and 90 FPS for 720p. The automatic adjustment function with the RightLight3 function is also powerful. The microphone is also particular, and it has a built-in dual omnidirectional microphone that supports noise canceling. You can choose from various installation methods, such as attaching it to a PC or display using a clip, or placing it on a tripod. ●logitech Pro Stream Webcam C922n　This webcam is reasonably priced compared to the flagship model mentioned above, but supports 60FPS for 720p resolution. It also has an automatic light correction function that automatically improves the camera image. It also has an autofocus function, so it is possible to deliver images that are firmly focused on the face. With dual microphone stereo sound, you can deliver voice with a high sense of presence when multiple people are talking. ● ASUS ROG Eye　ASUS ROG Eye is a webcam that supports a frame rate of 60 FPS with Full HD resolution. With Face Auto Exposure technology, the face can be projected brightly and clearly, and it can be expected to give a better impression to the other party.　Equipped with a beamforming microphone as a microphone, it is possible to limit the range of sound capture. You can shut out unnecessary sounds and realize a comfortable video conference. The compact and foldable body is also useful for video conferencing outside the home. ● Elecom UCAM-C820ABBK Elecom's UCAM-C820ABBK is equipped with a large 1/3-inch CMOS sensor and a glass lens. Even in scenes where the amount of light is insufficient, noise can be suppressed and high-definition images can be delivered. It also has an autofocus function, so it can be used in situations where you want to show a distant image or present a document in front of the camera and want the characters to be read. Equipped with a privacy shutter that can physically block the lens when not in use, taking privacy into consideration. I'm glad that it's so easy to use just by connecting it to a computer. ●BUFFALO BSW300MBK BUFFALO BSW300MBK is a webcam with a convenient 3-way stand. It can be installed on a notebook PC, liquid crystal display, or desk without replacing parts. In addition, the flexible neck allows the camera to be moved back and forth, left and right, and can be easily centered on what you want to project. The resolution is Full HD and the frame rate is 30FPS, which is sufficient for video conferencing. I am glad that the cost performance is high. ● Use the power of webcams to lead video conferences to success　　In video conferences, what you say is of course important, but you can never ignore the impact of video and audio on the other party. If you want to increase the chances of a successful video conference even a little, it is recommended to introduce an external webcam. There are various prices and functions, so I want you to think about what is important to you and choose the best one. (Leiter Hauser)
