The Logitech Brio software lets you tilt or pan the camera, and zoom in up to 5x. A white light on the front of the camera next to the Logitech logo lets you know when the Brio is active. You can use the detachable privacy shield to block the lens when the camera is not in use to prevent both hackers from potentially invading your privacy and the possibility of inadvertently enabling the camera when you’re not prepared. It also comes with software that lets you replace the background with an image of your choosing. The Logitech Brio 4K Pro is compatible with Windows Hello facial recognition. The monitor clip can be removed so it can be mounted on a traditional tripod.

It has a detachable privacy shield that clips on-a plastic flap that can fold down over the lens. At the lower resolutions (1080p and 720p), it can also record at 60 frames per second. It has a 90-degree wide angle field of view, and is capable of recording in 4K, 4K UHD, 1440p, 1080p, or 720p. The webcam has two omni-directional microphones, and a 4K, auto-focus sensor.

If you plan to carry it around with you (it also comes with a drawstring pouch), it will add 3 ounces to your computer bag. The unit itself is just over an inch tall, and just over an inch deep, and about 4 inches wide. It is an oblong, black device that clips to the top of your laptop or monitor. The Logitech Brio 4K Pro looks pretty much like most of the other webcams out there-especially Logitech webcams. I’ve had some time to work with the Logitech Brio, so here are my thoughts on this flagship webcam. I jumped at the opportunity because aside from being a 4K webcam, the Brio is also compatible with Windows Hello facial recognition, and I needed a solution that worked at my desk so I didn’t have to lean over and look into the camera on my Surface Book. Logitech sent me a review unit of its new Brio 4K Pro webcam to play with.
