Wow, the audio is surprisingly good for a webcam but the video quality is surprisingly bad. Maybe I'm just used to the Brio 4K, but this Brio looks more like 720p. Is it possible the focus was off? The image looks very soft.
I believe it's softness due to digital zoom. I think 500 zoomed not from "matrix" (which is 4Mpixel, like it was in 910/920/930 lineup) but from 1080p video, and upscale it. In the same way works and Brio 4K, but there zoom came from 4K video to usual 1080p or 720p video, and softness will prominent only on large zooms. But on 500 event slightest zoom give this softness.
Hi how do you put the cover shield over the lens for privacy ? I opened it with my finger , but how do i close it ? Also the the type C unplug from behind the camera also or is it permanently attach to the back of the brio 505 ?
I do not have the 505 with me currently, but I believe that was a permanent attached cable. Again, not 100% sure on that. As for the privacy, you twist one way for privacy, and the reverse direction to expose the lens.
I can only imagine that the video setting must have been put on low quality for this video. The quality of the recorded video doesn't look very impressive, it looks a little bit blurred...slightly (unless it's zoomed in). The audio sounds pretty good, but it doesn't sound totally 'full' though.
Watching in 2024 as these just went on sale. My god, TERRIBLE quality. I just returned a Logitech C930E HD Pro (with a Zeiss lens no less!) as the picture quality was abysmal, and I just do not understand why this brand is so well regarded when it comes to webcams. I've tried four different models now, two released in the last 2 years, and ALL have absolutely terrible I.Q. I don't get why it's (apparently) so difficult to get superb IQ in a webcam these days - my phone camera does a far superior job if I use it as a webcam (with Iriun software on my computer), but annoyingly my phone battery sucks so I am forced to get a webcam. Webcams ALL seem to suck and feel like such a blatant cash grab.
video resolution - I am surprised the video is so bad. Are you sure you had it on the correct setting or is that it?
absolutely. terrible quality

Every demo I've seen for the 505 (i'm shopping for Brio vs 505) looks fairly awful. I think that's just what it is.

Honestly this looks like 480p at most.
Bad quality and focus on the background for such a high price.

Hi Josh .
Will the 505 work without any drivers and app (ex.: UVC driver only)? Both mic and video?
Thanks.

The quality of this video looks really good to me.
I set FullHD in youtube settings and see video on my FullHD monitor, but your face in demo was always OUT OF FOCUS! WTF??
Will it be getting support for Logi Capture?
Unsure on that one, sorry...
Why in 2023 they are still producing such cameras with such a bad quality? One of the worst quality I've ever seen. So blurry! :((
quality is so disappointing... totally not worth it's price
No way the video is that bad, you messed up something with setup. I've seen other reviews and none of them were that bad
