At BlogHer<\/a>, the blogging conference I just attended a couple of weeks ago, I went to a private event hosted by Logitech<\/a>. \u00a0They were introducing their new Logitech TV Cam HD.<\/a>\u00a0The bloggers invited to this event were the first ones to see the Logitech TV Cam HD in action before the product was officially introduced the next day.<\/p>\n

First Impressions<\/span><\/h2>\n

What first struck me by the new Logitech TV Cam HD was how much coverage the camera provided. \u00a0The whole room could be seen and heard. \u00a0I use SKYPE especially when I travel. \u00a0It’s a great way to keep up with the kids at home. \u00a0But I’m usually limited to one kid at a time and seeing them in grainy images. \u00a0The kids use either one of our PC’s, my husband’s phone, or a tablet to answer the call. \u00a0The Logitech TV Cam HD can show the entire room and provide clear voices, even when my kids are 12 feet away from the camera. \u00a0It’s truly amazing.<\/p>\n

My daughter is on my phone SKYPING me (I'm using the Logitech TV Cam HD). I have zoomed in the picture so she can see me better, using the Logitech remote. Once I select the Zoom level, the screen is bigger of both of us.<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n

I know what you’re thinking, if SKYPE is already built into your phone for free, why spend $199 to buy a TV based SKYPE Logitech camera, right? Here are some considerations to ponder:<\/p>\n
