If you host Skype, Google, OBS, Zoom or YouTube Live conferences, youll want to project the best image possible and stream at high frame rates.

Best Network Camera Full 1080P 30FPS

Logitech StreamCam With USB-C Interface Up To 60FPS At 1080P HD The ideal high-def web cameras have some features in common that make for an ideal streaming Mac web camera choice: USB Video Class - UVC Compatible With OSX 10.5 720p and 1080p or 4K HD Resolution Sensors Optical Quality Glass Lenses Onboard H.264 Video Compression Smooth Webcam Autofocus High-Quality Internal Microphones Standard Camera Tripod Mount Hole Top Pick: Affordable Logitech Mac Streaming Camera Full 1080p 30FPS - 720p 60FPS Ask any seasoned teleconference host and many will say the Logitech C922 Stream Pro is the new number one choice.

This top-quality premium webcam supports H.264 video compression and is optimized for streaming video at high frame-rates.

Its premium optical quality lens delivers exceptional image clarity.

Dual microphones cancel echo and noise and deliver good audio response, though many live streaming hosts prefer a dedicated XLR or USB microphone for maximum audio quality.

Comparable in video quality to Logitechs premium cameras, the Microsoft LifeCam Pro rivals the C922x with high-quality glass optics, clean sounding microphone, and tripod mount.

Also notable is Microsofts TrueColor technology for accurate color in a wide variety of lighting situations.

Another great choice: The Logitech C930e has an even higher megapixel camera sensor - and most notably - a wider-angle field of view (FOV) than most webcams.

The 90 degree wide angle is perhaps best for those who have 2 or 3 people sitting side-by-side during a streaming video chat since it incorporates more of whats around you in the frame.

Most other consumer webcams are in the 70-78 degree FOV range which is better suited for one person at close range.

For those wanting high-quality livestream chats on a budget might consider the Logitech C615.

Best Network Camera Portable And Folding

This small, portable and folding webcam still delivers a superior HD image, has an optical quality glass lens, and a single high-quality microphone element with built-in noise reduction.

Although it doesnt have H.264 compression, with good webcam lighting it offers smooth, high frame rate streams.

The optical-quality or Ziess glass lenses deliver razor-sharp image quality and exceptionally smooth autofocus.

For superlative audio, higher-end models feature dual noise-cancelling stereo microphone arrays that eliminate echo and feedback.
