FullHD webcams are suitable for <a href=\"https:\/\/trueconf.com\/features\/modes\/videocall.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">video calls<\/a>, camcorders or <a href=\"https:\/\/trueconf.com\/blog\/wiki\/ptz-camera\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PTZ cameras<\/a> are perfect for <a href=\"https:\/\/trueconf.com\/features\/modes\/multipoint.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">symmetric video conferences<\/a>, while PTZ cameras or professional digital cameras (HDV) prove to be indispensable for <a href=\"https:\/\/trueconf.com\/features\/modes\/virtual-meeting.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">role-based video conferences<\/a> or conference calls.<\/p>\n<div class=\"marked_note marked_note--danger\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Before using the client application, make sure that your operating system and graphics card driver is up to date. Please note that we recommend downloading the drivers from the manufacturer&#8217;s official website (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.intel.com\/content\/www\/us\/en\/support\/detect.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Intel<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nvidia.com\/Download\/index.aspx?lang=en-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nvidia<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amd.com\/en\/support\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AMD<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is also recommended to make sure that your camera drivers are up to date, even if your camera can be found and operates properly. In many cases, default camera drivers provide only basic functionality, while advanced features such as 4K and 60 fps video capture operate correctly only after installing the proper driver. In addition, you should pay attention to the connection interface. For example, cameras with USB 3.0 connection interface will not work correctly, or will not work at all if you connect them to USB 2.0 port.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>The most important camera features are as follows:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Resolution (HQ \u2013 640\u00d7480, HD \u2013 1280\u00d7720, FullHD \u2013 1920\u00d71080, UltraHD 4K \u2013 3840\u00d72160)<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lens (glass lens, wide-angle lens)<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Frame rate (30 FPS preferred)<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Focus (auto\/manual)<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Low-light performance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To save your time and effort, we\u2019ve tested a large number of cameras to make a <a href=\"https:\/\/trueconf.com\/videoconferencing-equipment.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">list of recommended equipment<\/a> suitable for video conferences.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Recommended Cameras<\/h2>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Webcam: Logitech Webcam C930e<\/li>\n<li>Webcam: Logitech BCC950<\/li>\n<li>Webcam: Logitech BRIO<\/li>\n<li>Webcam: CleverMic WebCam B2<\/li>\n<li>Webcam: CleverMic WebCam B3<\/li>\n<li>PTZ camera: CleverMic 1010U (10x, USB 3.0)<\/li>\n<li>PTZ camera: CleverMic 1013U (12x, USB 3.0)<\/li>\n<li>PTZ camera: CleverMic 1005U (5x, USB3.0)<\/li>\n<li>PTZ camera: CleverMic 1020w (20x, DVI, USB 3.0, LAN)<\/li>\n<li>PTZ camera: CleverMic 4K 4312UH (12x, HDMI, LAN, USB 3.0)<\/li>\n<li>PTZ camera: Logitech Rally Camera<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"h2\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: justify;\">\n<h2>Recommended Video Conferencing Capture Devices<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Video capture device: AVerMedia ExtremeCap UVC BU110 (USB3.0-HDMI)<\/li>\n<li>Video capture device: AverMedia Live Gamer ULTRA GC553<\/li>\n<li>Capture card: AVerMedia 2-Channel HDMI Full HD HW H.264 PCIe Capture Card CL332HN<\/li>\n<li>Capture card: AVerMedia 4K HDMI 2.0 PCIe Frame Grabber CE511-HN<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">How to Improve Video Quality with a Slow Internet Connection?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To that end, please read our article on <a href=\"https:\/\/trueconf.com\/blog\/knowledge-base\/how-to-boost-your-trueconf-video-conferencing-experience.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">how to boost your Trueconf video conferencing experience<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Camera Troubleshooting during Video Meetings<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">During TrueConf video conferences, you can face the following video display problems caused by incorrect camera settings:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Flickering<\/li>\n<li>Color distortions<\/li>\n<li>Intensified brightness<\/li>\n<li>Intensified contrast<\/li>\n<li>Lack of sharpness<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To tackle these problems, you should go to <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.trueconf.com\/client\/en\/getting-started\/#sound-settings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Settings \u2192 Audio and Video \u2192<\/b> <b>Main settings<\/b><\/a>.
