The Logitech TV Cam is more convenient and practical than being attached to computer. The HD cam allows for more viewing area; you can see the whole room. The device is great for skyping with a child who won’t stay still in front of a camera. The wide-angle lens lets everyone join in on a call while moving freely around your room. There is no blurry lag in video footage like some other webcams.

To use the Logitech TV Cam, plug-in to your HDMI port, integrate Skype and connect to WiFi. In 10 minutes or less, you’ll be connected to your TV. The TV Cam is always on. The device ringer alerts you to incoming calls – even if your HDTV is off. The included remote makes it easy to start or stop calls.

The sharp, smooth HD widescreen video and crystal-clear sound are produced by Pecision Carl Zeiss Optics and four built-in noise-cancelling microphones.

The Logitech TV Cam HD is available on Amazon for $194.73 (shipping included).
