Logitech TV Cam for Skype, HD Video Calling on Compatible Skype-Enabled TVs

Logitech TV Cam for Skype, HD Video Calling on Compatible Skype-Enabled TVsJust an FYI, I am successfully using the Logitech TV Cam for Skype with my 2010 Panasonic TC-P58VT25. I don't believe the 2010 VT25's are included in Logitech's compatibility list (2011's are), but it does work.

The only thing about this camera not to like is the price, but even there you are getting quite a bit for your $150.

I have a 2011 model Panasonic Viera, and the camera is a fantastic companion for the TV easily comparable to the "professional" video conferencing we had at work a bare two years ago, for a lot less money. On top of that, it turns out that this camera works with at least one of last year's Vieras (the P50G20), which is not officially supported but I gave my camera to my sis-in-law and it works on her TV.

(2008 HOLIDAY TEAM) Combine Logitech and Carl Zeiss and you know you'll have a quality product. This large (8 inches wide) webcam sits on top of your flat screen and transmits in wide-screen vision and easily and clearly picks up voices from over ten feet away. The camera comes with an extension cord to make sure you can reach the USB port on your flat screen (total of eleven feet). Just be aware before you think about buying this great webcam, that it only works on seventeen models of Panasonic televisions. Hopefully in the future this might expand. It also only uses SKYPE. The rubber/plastic arm attachment allows the camera to sit on top of any flat screen, but an animal could easily pull it off, as my cat did. There is no solid clip and you don't want this webcam to hit the floor.

Installation is almost too easy. Just plug it into your flat screen and log into your SKYPE account on the screen. Granted, the other party will get the best reception and you'll receive the level of webcam quality they transmit with.

The HD 720p is absolutely amazingly clear with accurate color as is the sound quality. There is very little (there is some) blurry movement if you move fast enough, but for simply sitting on your sofa and talking to someone on their computer (or their own Logitech webcam). With the widescreen, you can get an entire sofa and its inhabitants in one screen shot. I'd give it five stars, but for now, Logitech only has this great webcam for Panasonic screens.

I bought this camera hoping it would work with my VT25 Panasonic TV, and it did very well -for all of three Skype calls. As far as the camera itself it is small and inconspicuous. It was easy to set up and the video quality looked very good in far end tests. Mic pick up audio quality was also quite good, even eight feet away from the TV. Adjustments were very simple although I wish I could adjust the zoom while on a call. Now when I launch Skype from Viera Cast (now Viera Connect) the application immediately crashes. If I disconnect the camera the application runs, but as soon as it is connected the app crashes. Driver problem maybe? Skype said it's Panasonic's problem and vice-versa. There is no current fix, so beware.

Want Logitech TV Cam for Skype, HD Video Calling on Compatible Skype-Enabled TVs Discount?

the Logitech TV camera for Skype works just as advertised. Do yourself a favor and ignore any reviews of one or two stars because the camera doesn't work with their Panasonic 3-D Blu-ray player. The camera is not designed to work with the player. It is clearly designed to work directly with TV enabled with Skype.To downgrade a product because it doesn't perform something that it was not designed to do is ridiculous.
