Background and Identification

Logitech originated in Switzerland when it was founded in 1981 by Daniel Borel and Pierluigi Zappacosta, both Stanford alumni, and Giacomo Marini, a former engineer at Olivetti. The company sells various electronic accessories, including computer mice, keyboards, speakers, cameras, smart home devices, and more.

Logitech cameras include webcams designed for video conferencing, streaming and recording, gaming, etc. Logitech webcams come at a range of price points. For instance, the C270 Logitech webcam sells for $40. Alternatively, Logitech also sells numerous webcams that cost $200 (the 4K Pro Magnetic Webcam, Brio Ultra HD Pro Webcam, etc.). In addition to webcams, Logitech also manufactures a range of home security cameras.

Common problems in Logitech webcams and security cameras include issues interfacing with other devices and damage to the cameras or mounts themselves. Webcams might be unable to connect with a computer if the webcam is incompatible with the computer’s operating system, the computer’s privacy settings haven’t given applications access to the camera, or if there is a problem with the USB or Bluetooth connection. Basic webcam troubleshooting can include plugging it into a different USB port, restarting the computer, and updating the computer.

Logitech webcams are designed to clip on to the top of a computer monitor. They are small, rectangular attachments that include a camera. On the other hand, Logitech security cameras are designed to be mounted in a location for optimal coverage of the desired area. Logitech security cameras include a camera supported by some kind of base.
