3 best alternatives to HP webcam HD 4310 as of 2018 - Slant

Ad

Logitech HD Pro C920

Top Pro

Solid video

While not up to par with a dedicated camcorder, it provides exceptional quality for a webcam. It can manage 1080p video at 29fps while maintaining focus and light balancing. See More

Top Con

USB cable is attached

The USB cable can't be removed - its permanently attached to the rear of the cam. This means that if something happens to the cable (pets or other accidents) you will have to buy a whole new cam instead of just a new cable. The cable is 6ft, sufficiently long for just about any regular use, however for some situations it may not be long enough. For others, the 6ft cable will be too long, and will be left in a coil. With a replaceable cable, you could swap it out with a better fitting cable for your desk. See More

Top Pro

Flexible positioning

The mount is very adaptable to nearly every situation, whether it's standing on a desk or clipped to a monitor or laptop screen. The rear hinge allows for it to better grip curved surfaces (as opposed to having a flat grip point), and it also can tilt vertically ensuring you are centered in the frame. There is also a standard threaded tripod attachment point, so you can stand it up with virtually any tripod. See More

Top Con

Slight lack of detail

The bit rate is lower than other webcams (average of 3300kbps for 720p and 4100kps for 1080p), which limits the detail of the video. See More

Top Pro

Great audio quality

The stereo mic setup allows the C920 to suppress unwanted background noise while providing very good audio quality. See More

Top Pro

Controls to provide the best image

There are plenty of adjustable controls available, from amusing effects such as filters and video masks to digital pan/tilt/zoom, auto/manual focus, and follow my face. No matter the lighting, distance, or angle, the C920 will make the most of any situation. See More

Logitech C922x Pro Stream Webcam

Top Pro

Great picture quality

For a webcam under $100, the Logitech C922x has a surprising picture quality. The picture looks sharp, the colors look accurate, and all that out of the box without changing any settings. The picture is sharp and the colors look good even in a low-light environment, for example when gaming in a dark room with just the monitor's light shining on you. See More

Top Con

Not a major upgrade from the retired C920

The Logitech C920 dominated the streaming webcam market for years until it got retired. The C922x is basically the same wecam, with some of the issues solved. The most noticeable difference is that when the C920 suffered in frame rate and picture quality in a low-light room, then the C922x looks great and stays at a stable 30 frames per second even when the room is dark.

Top Pro

Easy to set up

The picture looks good out of the box. You only need to install extra software if you wish to control exposure/white balance etc manually. See More

Top Pro

Very flexible placement

The mount is very adaptable to nearly every situation, whether it's on a tripod or clipped to your monitor. The rear hinge allows for it to better grip curved surfaces (as opposed to having a flat grip point), and it also can tilt vertically ensuring you are centered in the frame. See More

Top Pro

Background replacement/removing to save space on stream

The C922x comes with background replacement software, which cuts out the background behind you. This way your webcam picture will take less space on the stream and the content will be more visible. See More

Top Pro

60 fps makes the stream look nice and smooth

This webcam is capable of streaming at 60fps (frames per second). If you are streaming the game at 60 fps aswell, then the stream will look much smoother than it would with a 30 fps webcam. See More

Top Con

Short USB cord

The cord is 3 feet long, instead of the regular 6 feet. You should check if 3 feet is enough to reach from the USB port to the desired webcam location. See More

Top Pro

Easy setup

There is no setup to worry about, plug it into your Windows, macOS or Chrome OS device and it's ready to be used without any additional software.

Top Con

Dark, soft and not very detailed image

Compared to the best webcams under $100, like the Logitech C920, the image lacks sharpness and brightness. The image quality is definitely better than for regular budget webcams - it doesn't look bad. See More

Top Pro

Amazing quality built-in microphone

According to several testers, C615's sound quality is the best out of all the budget webcams. It dampens noise and records crisp and clear sound. See More
