Title: USB webcam recommendations?
Post by: elagache on December 22, 2018, 09:46:18 PM

Dear WeatherCat cinematographers,

My venerable USB Logitech webcam is no longer responding in spite of a number of attempts to coax it back to life.  I just took a quick look at the market and there are a ton of USB webcams out spanning a wide range of prices.  I would like to grab something simple and not to expensive to get my webcam image back on line.  Someday I still hope to get a proper outdoor camera, so I don't want to put too much time or money into this band-aid.  Does anybody has some experience with USB webcams that would help me narrow the field a bit?

Thanks,

Edouard

I take it you are not interested in built-in IR, audio nor HD video?


If so, there's a ton of USB webcams in that category but I don't have experience with any of them. Hopefully you'll get some suggestions.

Dear Felix, Randall, and WeatherCat cinematographers,

I understand your position Felix.  What I'm looking for is really boring by today's standards!
