This upgraded webcam features a 4-megapixel sensor that delivers clear images. It's capable of capturing 1080p video at 30fps, or you can drop the resolution to 720p to increase the frame rate to 60fps. It has an adjustable field of view with three viewing angle options: 90, 78 and 65 degrees, so you can truly get the perfect image for your next presentation. The stereo microphone has a claimed range of up to four feet, so you can sit back and trust that you'll still be heard. You can attach it to your monitor or laptop using the included clamp or using the adhesive on the mount, which we found to stay nice and sticky even with frequent moving.

You'll also get access to many useful features included in the Logitech G Hub software. There are classics like autofocus and white balance, or you can let Logitech's RightSight technology automatically adjust everything, including centering you in the frame and zooming, to get a good shot of your face. Anyone who needs to demonstrate or demonstrate products can easily tilt the webcam down to point it at their desk.

If you're interested in numbers, I did some digging on Logitech's website and found that the cameras have almost identical specs. It looks like the Brio 500 is sold on most consumer sites with a one-year warranty, while the Brio 505 is aimed at business and has a longer three-year warranty. If it's important enough to warrant the full $30 price, you can find this webcam hereor check out other options in our review of the best webcams.
