Logitech PTZ Pro 2 review
Logitech PTZ Pro 2: A Compact But Powerful Webcam With Full HD Recording
Anybody that purchases a Logitech PTZ Pro 2 will be amazed by just how many features this device manages to cram into a portable body. The product is a webcam, perfect for recording meetings and other indoor events in a small or medium room. The panning is smooth and robotic and covers enough ground for everyday use.
This Logitech PTZ Pro 2 camera records in full HD, ensuring that people on the other end of the conference call can see your face, gestures, and any written information you want them to see. And with an autofocus feature that works well, you don’t have to worry about your face getting blurry and out of focus when you move around. You can also zoom in with the camera to capture more details, adapting the camera to your needs.
This camera has a remote control, giving you control over the pan, tilt, and zoom. You can fit it into any room or setting with accessories and mount. And setting the device up isn’t challenging, which will excite people with no patience for one too many plugged cords.
If you need a nudge to decide if you should get this camera for indoor use, keep reading this article; your choice will be clear at the end.
Video production
Combining a 1080p video resolution with a 10X zoom on a small indoor camera was a genius move by Logitech. This device’s hardware is impressive, and it shoots at 30FPS. While not the highest frame rate you can get, the 30FPS is smooth enough to make your movements on screen look natural and not choppy.
The PTZ Pro 2 premium lens provides a 90-degree diagonal, a 52.2-degree vertical, and an 82.1-degree visual field. You get 90-degree panning and 45-degree tilting to cover the corners of the office or room in front of you.
The device delivers an H.264 UVC video format, and you can preset it in three positions. At the touch of a button, the camera will revert to its original placement, ideal for people in fixed spots.
Connection types
The Logitech PTZ Pro 2 camera comes out of the box with a power adapter bearing regional plugs. You use it to turn the device on and off.
The camera works perfectly with MacOS’ recent versions and Windows 7 through 11. It uses a plug-and-play connection, making things simple and neat. The only other connection this device gets is through a USB cord that runs to your computer or laptop.
Setup
Setting the PTZ Pro 2 HD video conference camera & remote provides the smoothest installation experience. Place the unit on the table or use the wall mount provided, then connect the camera to a power outlet and run the USB to your computer. Then plug the cable into the device’s port and fasten it with a cable lock.
After plugging, a LED will indicate that the device is on, then you can install the Logitech app for Mac or Windows. It lets you remotely control the device’s pan, tilt, and zoom. Go to the settings to tweak the camera. Alternatively, use the physical remote controller.
Even with the Logitech PTZ Pro 2 HD video conference camera & remote with a 27.89 feet range, I wished the Logitech mobile app worked with this camera, but it doesn’t. To enjoy that level of mobility, you will have to spend a little more on the Logitech Group.
Conclusion
Installing and using the Logitech PTZ Pro 2 webcam was a delightful experience. This camera embodies simplicity in its appearance and operations.
If this Logitech PTZ Pro 2 review wasn’t explicit enough, you should purchase one of these devices for home or office use, especially if you host or join many online video meetings. I highly recommend it.
