The Logitech Brio is a 4K webcam that records 4K at 30 fps, 1080p at up to 60 fps and 720p at up to 90 fps[2]. It has three field-of-view presets, autofocus, two microphones and an infrared sensor for Windows Hello[3]. The Amazon listing is this model, part number 960-001105[1].
Key facts
Which Brio is this?
The listing’s model number is 960-001105, the original Brio[1]. Logitech sells it today as the Brio 4K Business Webcam[2]. The Amazon title calls it the “Logitech 4k Webcam”, which doesn’t help.
Logitech also uses the Brio name for cheaper 1080p cameras (the Brio 100, 300 and 500 families) and for the Brio Stream. Specs, reviews and prices for those don’t describe this camera.
What resolutions and frame rates does it do?
Logitech lists 4K (Ultra HD) at 30 fps, 1080p at up to 60 fps and 720p at up to 90 fps[2]. So the Amazon listing’s “up to 90 fps” is a 720p figure, not a 4K one. Logitech also notes that 90 fps works only when the video app supports it[3].
Recording modes include native 4K (DCI), 4K UHD (16:9), 1440p, 1080p and 720p[3]. Most call apps send 1080p or less anyway. The extra pixels earn their keep when you crop, zoom or record locally.
What about field of view, focus and lighting?
There are three diagonal field-of-view presets: 90°, 78° and 65°. You switch between them in Logitech’s Logi Tune app for Windows and macOS[2]. Use 65° for a tight head-and-shoulders shot, and 90° if the whiteboard behind you is part of the meeting.
It has autofocus, with manual focus in Logi Tune, and 5x digital zoom[2]. RightLight 3 adjusts exposure for low light, direct sunlight and high contrast[3]. It still can’t fix a window behind your head. Face the light.
Does it have a microphone?
Yes, two omnidirectional microphones[3]. The Amazon listing says they suppress background sound[1]. They are fine for meetings. For podcasts or anything you’ll publish, a separate USB microphone close to your mouth will sound better.
Does it work with Windows Hello?
Yes. The Brio has optical and infrared sensors for Windows Hello facial recognition, so you can sign in to Windows without typing a password[1, 3]. That’s handy on a desktop PC with no built-in camera. It doesn’t have night vision[3].
How does it connect, and what does it need?
It connects over USB with a 1.5 m (5 ft) cable. Logitech lists USB 2.0, 3.0, 3.1 and Type-C hosts[3], and the Amazon title names USB 3.0[1]. It’s a UVC camera, so it uses the operating system’s standard webcam driver[3].
Logitech lists Windows 8 or later (8.1 or later for anything above 1080p), macOS 10.8 or later, and ChromeOS[3]. Any computer from the last decade clears those bars. Logi Tune adjusts the camera and installs firmware updates, and IT teams can manage it with Logitech Sync[2].
What we couldn’t confirm: the exact modes you get on a USB 2.0 port. Logitech says it works there but doesn’t publish the limits. Plan on a USB 3.0 port if you want 4K. Logitech also doesn’t list Linux, though UVC cameras normally work there without extra drivers.
How does it mount?
A universal clip fits laptops and monitors, and there’s a 1/4-inch tripod thread for a stand or arm[3]. A privacy shade flips over the lens when you’re done[1]. The camera is small: 102 × 27 × 26.5 mm and 65 g[3].
What would a developer use it for?
Stand-ups, pairing sessions and the occasional conference talk. 1080p at 60 fps keeps screen-adjacent hand waving smooth, and the 65° preset keeps the laundry pile out of frame[2].
Windows Hello is the quiet win on a desktop. Sitting down unlocks the machine[3]. If you record screencasts or demos, local 4K recording leaves room to crop to 1080p in the edit.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Final Verdict
Get the Logitech Brio if you want one camera that looks sharp on calls, zooms out for the whiteboard and logs you into Windows by face. 1080p at 60 fps covers every call app, and 4K is there for recording[2]. Skip it if you only need 1080p for meetings and don’t care about Windows Hello. A cheaper 1080p webcam and a decent lamp will do that job.
Key Takeaways
- This is the original Brio, part number 960-001105. Other “Brio” models are different cameras[1].
- “Up to 90 fps” means 720p. 4K runs at 30 fps[2].
- Plug it into a USB 3.0 port for 4K, as the listing intends[1]. Windows needs 8.1 or later for anything above 1080p[3].
- Install Logi Tune to change the field of view and update the firmware[2].
