Logitech HD Pro Webcam C910 personal review

Image has been from the ancient times more than just a picture, it has been entertainment. The last ten years technology made the moving image to go from cinemas in the homes of people who have something to tell or to share or both. This is how the web camera gain ground and became popular among people worldwide. Why is that? Simple, we all have our stories to tell!

And the image is more than suggestive in telling a story. And little by little this industry developed and now we have come to ask for HD resolutions and so and so forth. The perfect example of crystal clear image is the Logitech HD Pro Webcam C910. Stay close and see if it has got the features you want!

The Logitech HD Pro Webcam C910 can record in full HD (1080 pixels, which is more than nice for an HD webcam) and is capable of delivering fluid HD video calling (720 pixels). The quality of its image is due to the 5 MP HD sensor, as well as the Carl Zeiss lens (famous for their precision). The autofocus and smart light automatically correct the image and the result is incredibly clear videos and absolutely gorgeous 10 MP pictures.  The microphones incorporate noise cancelling technology, so when transmitted, the sound is taken only from a ninety degree angle (such as your voice if the microphone is placed towards you) and no surrounding noises are allowed.

In terms of performances, the Logitech HD Pro Webcam C910 is able to deliver the best of image and sound, which is why HD is here referred to both of these two.  The pixels above mentioned say more than words for the clarity of the picture, but the sound is just great (two microphones that provide stereo sound and we are talking about a small sized camera, awebcam HD). Important as well, could be how much time you spend with the setup: it’s just a matter of minutes.

Should you buy it? Yes, if you like to travel and communicate through images and sound or just record the best of your trip, if you are a fan of YouTube and like to post videos or if you just want it!

The price of the Logitech HD Pro Webcam C910 is listed on Amazon.com at almost 50 US dollars and it is worth every penny. So, I could not call this product other than a very good deal and the best HD webcam!

Microsoft LifeCam Studio 1080p HD Webcam: Pictures tell stories!

Pictures do tell stories. They have done that from the most ancient times when people tried to scratch cave’s walls in order to tell something about someone or just something else (like phenomena, for instance). Nowadays, we don’t scratch walls anymore; we post on Facebook, Twitter or YouTube. And that is why a webcam has become a useful tool of communication. The criteria in choosing one are mostly the following: autofocus, HD resolution, good sound and the list stops pretty much here.

The thing is it could all be reduced at HD sound and image, so an HD webcam. Such an example is the Microsoft LifeCam Studio 1080p HD Webcam, follow closely the article and see if this product is a match for your needs.

The Microsoft LifeCam Studio 1080p HD Webcam delivers the type of image that could be better described in numbers than words: 1080 lines (each with 1920 pixels) and 16:9 aspect ratio. The high precision lens provides very good optics and the autofocus refines the image until it becomes perfect. The ClearFrame Technology helps you get the kind of picture you want even in bad lighting conditions, where as the integrated microphone delivers a rich and natural sound.

The performance that the Microsoft LifeCam Studio 1080p HD Webcam can reach are not at all to neglect. Aside from the very nice quality image and good sound that this HD camera can provide, there one more practical thing to consider: it is encased in an aluminum body and gives it a big plus in the eyes of a clumsy person.

Should you get it? Yes, if you are keen on travelling, as well as recording or sharing the things you have seen or visited, if you are in the need of video conference tools (this one could be appropriated), if you like to post images and videos on social networks (such as Facebook, Twitter or others of this kind) and the list continues.

The price of the Microsoft LifeCam Studio 1080p HD Webcam is listed at almost 57 US dollars. Is this the best HD webcam? It is one of the best, but I would not award it with this particular title, because the competition kept working and released products maybe a little bit better, but its strong point is endurance to frequent use (because of the aluminum shell). Is it a good purchase? I would call it a decent one if you’re looking for a HD webcam.

Prevent hacking webcam and mic

Recording devices like webcams and microphones become standard devices in every modern laptop. These devices can be hacked easily by potential intruders or being under attack of remote tapping. A simple worm that installed on the laptop can operate the webcam and microphone remotely and send the audio and video information to remote operator. Hacking these devices are not just a privacy issue, they can expose companies and organizations to industrial and military espionage.

The standard prevention tools like firewall, anti-virus and anti-malware are not providing sufficient solution. These tools are dealing with well known worms signatures. However, portable laptop can be infected by worms that using standard interface like java-script or while using unsecure public connections. The only safe solution to deal with webcam and microphone worms is to disconnect them completely. This can be done either permanently by cutting the microphone wires or blocking the webcam lens or temporarily by disabling these devices in sensitive places by the operating system. The temporary solution will give the laptop user the option to use audio and video in public places and block them in secure places like the company or organization campus.

The software will scan all protected computers either automatically or manually and deploy a protection service on the selected computers. The protection service will constantly monitor the LAN cable status and disable the webcams and microphones of the protected computers when the LAN of the organization is connected. Trying to enable these devices while the organization LAN is active will disable them again instantly. Only when the organization LAN cable will be disconnected from the protected computer, the protected devices will automatically re-enabled.

How does it protect the organization?
Organization computers can be victims of tapping attacks by webcams and microphones worms. These attacks can be used by potential intruders to collect audio and video information from selected organization employees. Disabling these devices on computers that connected to the organization LAN will prevent any installed worms from collecting audio and video information from the affected computers. Using software protection tool will prevent tapping from organization employees through their personal computers on the organization campus, where most sensitive information can be accessed and recorded for industrial and military espionage.
