Skype has been around for years and for all that time it has been holding the lieder position, when compared with the competitors leading connectivity programs. Even though, the number of devices that support the function of this software without the help of a computer is vast and still increasing, they all have one thing in common- they are all made for personal usage.

Logitech’s TV cam HD is made as a device that is mainly targeted for a family usage. The wide-angle lens with Carl Zeiss optics provides a much wider viewing angle than any other kind of web camera. Its sensor can support up to 720p resolution, but because of the superb optics, its picture quality is beyond comparison, even when compared with some models that can support a Full HD quality.

The camera can connect to any display that has a HDMI connector and it connects to the internet through its built in Wi-Fi adapter, or the LAN connector on the back. The power adapter will give the user the opportunity to be online, even though the TV is off. It can give an indication of an incoming call through the built in ringer and it can even activate an automatic phone secretary, when the user is not picking up. The four built in microphones give out perfect coverage at different distances from it, so the other person will hear you perfectly even if you are far away from the camera.

In addition to the camera you get a remote that has basic functions, but also has the ability to zoom in the picture and do some digital corrections of the viewing angles.

TV cam HD is Skype usage certified, so the built in Skype client will be updated in the future with the upcoming versions. This camera has a lot to offer, but it also comes with a nifty price of $200.
