StreamCam is optimised for use with Logitech Capture which unlocks features on the device that automate exposure, framing, and stabilisation.
"StreamCam is designed for today's creators, making it easier than ever for people to share their passion with the world," says Logitech creativity and productivity general manager Delphine Donne-Crock.
"Video has become a primary way for people to express themselves, and we're designing products that help people create amazing content.
Features include:
- Facial recognition smart focus and exposure
- AI-enabled smart framing
- Image stabilisation
- Full HD vertical video, for Instagram and Facebook stories
- Stereo and dual-mono audio setting for recording based on your preference
StreamCam is also supported on XSplit and Open Broadcaster Software (OBS).
Logitech StreamCam, initially launching in graphite with white being introduced at a later date, is available in New Zealand from a range of retailers for a suggested retail price of $319.90.
With the introduction of StreamCam, an updated version of Logitech Capture software will also be released for existing customers with added support for a beta version on macOS.
The updated version will include capabilities such as Dark Mode, updated scene effects, live text overlays, and more.
Logitech Capture is available at no cost via software download.
StreamCam joins a suite of products designed for creators, including the two Blue Microphones in the Yeti range, released at the end of last year.
The Yeti X is a step up from the classic Blue Yeti, with features that improve on the wildly popular USB condenser mic.
The Yeti Nano is a cheaper and smaller alternative, designed for entry-level users or those looking for greater portability.
