Logitech launches 720p webcam streaming service

10.06.10

I saw a posting on another table that basically implied wired webcams are unsuccessful given that most notebooks and netbooks have integrated webcams theses days. Of movement, all of us here on CrunchGear are smarter ;-) but lest we see the same piffle here:

1. a stand-alone wired webcam allows for different angles, you can prosper it elsewhere, some of these cameras have auto-focus, some (such as the new Logitech cameras and a span of Creative cameras) support HD video – none of which you can do with an integrated webcam.

2. In wing as well as, you can use the webcam for monitoring, with services like gotocamera ( http://www.gotocamera.com ) or software like yawcam ( http://www.yawcam.com ), both of which help from the flexibility afforded by a wired webcam.

Yes, integrated webcams are increasingly banal. But the flexibility of wired webcams is, to my mind, still admitted.

(not affiliated with Logitech or any camera company; not attached with yawcam; Founder of GotoCamera, so I have *some* sense of the persistence… ;-) ).
