The C270i delivers 1280×720 HD video at 30 frames per second through a fixed-focus lens calibrated for the 0.1-5 metre working range that covers standard desk and monitor positions. Fixed focus means the lens is set at the factory for clear capture in this distance range without the camera needing to hunt for focus during use - a practical advantage for calls where a small subject movement might cause an autofocus system to briefly defocus. The dual noise-reducing omnidirectional microphones captures voice for calls without requiring a separate headset or microphone. USB 2.0 plug-and-play: connect to any USB-A port on Windows, macOS or Linux and the camera is immediately available as a video input device - no driver download or software installation required. The universal clip fits flat panel monitors, laptop lids and can stand on a shelf or desk. Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet and all standard video conferencing platforms recognise the C270i immediately on connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e720p · Fixed Focus · 55° FOV\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVideo Specs for Everyday Calls\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C270i captures at 1280×720 pixels - HD resolution that is a substantial improvement over the VGA (640×480) built-in cameras found in many older laptops and the lowest-tier webcams. At 30fps, video is smooth and natural for face-to-face calling. The 55° diagonal field of view is calibrated for a single user at standard desk distance - it shows the face, upper body and a moderate band of background without the perspective distortion that wider angle lenses introduce at close range. Fixed focus at 0.1-5m is the appropriate optical design for a webcam used at a desk: the camera is factory-set to be sharp across this entire range, which means it is in focus from the moment it is connected without any focus hunting or adjustment delay. The focus will not drift during a call when the user moves slightly. The C270i does not include RightLight or automatic exposure correction - lighting conditions affect the image quality directly, and users in poorly lit rooms or with bright backgrounds will see the effect in the video output. For best results, face toward a light source (window or lamp in front rather than behind). MJPEG and YUY2 output formats ensure compatibility with all standard video capture and conferencing software.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt-In Mic · Plug-and-Play\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReady in Seconds, No Setup\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dual noise-reducing omnidirectional microphones captures audio from all directions around the webcam - voice from the front, at the typical call distance of 60-80cm from monitor height. The microphone is a single-channel mono unit, which is standard for entry-level webcams. It provides adequate voice clarity for standard video calls in quiet-to-moderate room environments. In noisy rooms or open-plan offices, a headset microphone will perform better as it captures voice from a much shorter distance. The USB 2.0 connection uses the USB Audio Class and USB Video Class standards, which are built into Windows 7 and later, macOS 10.7 and later, and most Linux distributions - no manufacturer driver download is required, and no Logitech software needs to be installed for basic camera and microphone operation. The camera appears immediately in the system as a standard webcam and USB audio input device. Logitech's optional Capture software and G HUB provide additional controls (zoom, brightness, contrast) but are not required for use. The universal clip mechanism on the base of the C270i adjusts to grip flat panel monitor tops, laptop lids, and desktop monitors of different thicknesses. The camera can also be placed on a flat surface facing forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eC270 vs C920e · Choosing the Right Level\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e720p Entry-Level vs 1080p Business\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C270 sits at the entry level of Logitech's webcam range and is the most widely deployed budget USB webcam in education and home office settings globally. Its combination of 720p HD video, noise-reducing dual microphones and RightLight 2 automatic exposure correction covers the requirements of most everyday video call users - anyone upgrading from a built-in laptop camera will notice an immediate improvement in both video sharpness and audio clarity. The step up from the C270 to the C920e adds 1080p Full HD resolution (approximately 2.25× the pixel count), a glass lens instead of a plastic lens for sharper image with less chromatic aberration, HD autofocus, and a wider 78° field of view. In practice, the video quality difference is visible in the sharpness of fine detail - hair, fabric texture, background objects - and in colour accuracy at distance. For professional video calls, client-facing meetings, content creation, or environments where the user appears on screen frequently, the C920e's image quality difference justifies the price premium. For internal calls, online classes, and occasional video meetings where basic HD video is sufficient, the C270 is an effective and proven choice. Both cameras are plug-and-play, both work on all platforms, and both are certified for Zoom, Teams and Meet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRight choice if you…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✔\u003c\/span\u003e Need a basic 720p USB webcam for video calls that works instantly without any software setup\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e✔\u003c\/span\u003e Sit at a fixed distance from the screen in reasonable lighting - fixed focus, no autofocus hunting\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e✔\u003c\/span\u003e Want the lowest-cost Logitech webcam that still delivers HD video over a built-in laptop camera\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e✔\u003c\/span\u003e Use any platform - Zoom, Teams, Meet, Webex, Skype - all recognise it immediately\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConsider something else if…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✖\u003c\/span\u003e You need 1080p Full HD - the C270i captures at 720p only; see the Logitech C920e for 1080p with glass lens and RightLight 2\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e✖\u003c\/span\u003e You work in variable or challenging lighting - RightLight 2 automatic exposure correction; the C920e's RightLight 2 handles backlit and low-light conditions significantly better\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e✖\u003c\/span\u003e You need high-quality microphone audio - the single mono mic is adequate for calls but not for recording or streaming where audio quality matters\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLogitech\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eC270 HD Webcam\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMPN\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e960-001063\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEAN \/ GTIN\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5099206064201\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVideo Resolution\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e720p (1280×720) at 30fps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eField of View\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55° diagonal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFocus\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFixed · optimised for 0.1-5m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVideo Format\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMJPEG · YUY2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMicrophone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDual omnidirectional · noise-reducing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConnection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSB 2.0 · plug-and-play\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight Correction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRightLight 2 - automatic exposure correction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOS Compatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWindows 7+ · macOS 10.7+ · Linux\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~75g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3-year Logitech limited hardware warranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e-\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLogitech C270i HD webcam with integrated USB cable and universal clip\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is the difference between the C270i and the C270?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C270i is the IPTV-optimised variant (MPN 960-001063) with a dual noise-reducing microphones and RightLight 2 automatic exposure correction.
