Question: Can use the Broadcaster also as a surveillance cam ?
Document: It took some trips to the hardware store to get something setup on my bike.For those reading in 2014 and beyond with similar intentions as me, the GoPro cameras are supposed to be coming out with wifi streaming functions (and some in the hacker community have already gotten this to work). GoPro also had hard plastic around the camera, the Logitech Broadcaster feels like one high drop to cement could ruin it. Overall it's still a great cam, battery life is good, optical sensor is good (good dynamic color range, white balance), zoom feels like around 40mm (or slightly wider than a standard point & shoot or cell phone camera), and 720p works great without frames dropping or compression artifacts.
This is a convenient webcam in that it works on wifi so you can bring it with you anywhere in your home. I also like how the tube base can be used both to store the unit as well as a stand for it works at many different angles. I had no problem setting it up after downloading the Logitech software called Broadcaster as per the instruction manual. You can use this to stream live to UStream.However, you cannot use it as a standalone video camera as it does not include any flash storage, you must record to a computer or iPad/iPhone.
I bought this to bring portability to my web cam set-up and for Facetime. Unfortunately the video quality isn't as good as the in-built camera on my Macbook Pro, so I hardly ever use it. Also, the rechargeable battery life isn't that great. I ended up only using it in places near a wall outlet so I could keep it plugged in. Kind of makes the whole wireless thing a bit pointless. I think if you're not as sensitive to the video quality and are prepared to recharge it on a regular basis it might work for you, but for me not so much.
The Logitech Broadcaster allows more flexibility about filming or, in our case, Skyping by giving us more viewpoints with no wires and doing it compactly.First, as stated in the write-up: you need a Mac, iPhone, ipad; wifi router within 50 feet, and high speed internet.The camera/"broadcaster" slips out of the cylinder case which also serves as a small stand. Once connected, one can go to the personal broadcasting site like UStream. The novelty is in using both computer and the Logitech cameras simultaneously.The set-up is straightfoward.
I wish, though, they'd also included a screw mount on the bottom of the camera, because that would allow for even greater flexibility -- say if you wanted to mount this to a gorillapod mount and mount that to a lamp on the top of the ceiling.I have noticed, further, that for this to work you do have to have a strong WiFi signal nearby. This doesn't seem to pick up signal as well as some other WiFi devices I've used. In certain spots of my house, and even in my office, I get a message from the Broadcaster app that the video bandwidth is insufficient - and I can see heavy pixelation in the images.
It was greatly appreciated.The image on the iPad I used for testing was tack sharp. Ustream play was sluggish, but that is not a reflection on the Broadcaster, but thwe result of network and server issues.I had an installation issue, but consulting Logitech's website provided the answer: there is a known incompatibility between the Broadcaster and certain D-Link routers. Switched to a different access point and installation was painless.Others have noted that Logitech has made no provision for using the Broadcaster as a security or nanny-cam.
Also, I would have liked a feature where you could plug this camera in and use it as a security camera when you are away from your home,  however it doesn't appear to have that feature. It also can only record in 720p HD, not 1080p.While this webcam generally has more versatility than fixed webcams, there is room for improvement.I also found a pretty bad bug with the software under OSX. If you just delete it without actually running the uninstaller app, it will cause all sorts of problems with other apps being about to launch (such as Photoshop).
You have a camera, wireless networking, a reasonably fast processor and a good stand packaged together. Its ability to accept software updates makes it is possible that future updates will allow users to take advantage of this device in ways that are not possible today. I can't judge it based on possible future updates however.Cons:-Overall though I am not sure what market this device is looking to service. There are a lot of other cameras that I can use to record to my iPad, which can also be used with a standard web browser across multiple platforms - not just Mac and iOS.
On 802.11n, it runs great, streams beautifully, and is totally worth the money... Which was now more money, since I had to shell out for a new (secondary) router - I went with the Netgear 1450ac (basically a 6300 rate-limited from 1750 to 1450), because it also let me use iOS's airprint feature with my non-airprint wireless printer... Without even needing to plug the printer into the router!But I digress... Aside from network speed, it's also a little finicky about type - I was never able to get it to use adhoc networking to stream straight from the camera to my MacBook or iPhone (which both support 802.11n).
I purchased a couple of these for testing. Anytime there is a chance i can eliminate some wires, ill give it a shot.Unfortunately when Logitec says this is mac only, they mean it. There is nothing that allows you to use this on a windows based machine, which ultimately kind of killed some of the plans i had for it. When using it as a replacement cam on an apple Os machine, it appears to work fine.
Answer: I suppose it's possible but it's not the best option. I've noticed that despite positioning the Logitech within the Wi-Fi network in keeping it plugged in, it tends to shut off on its own after 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Additionally, you'll need third-party software to access it remotely.  I use a Foscam ip cam for this and it works flawlessly. Streaming with one button to Ustream is nice but it has very little practical purpose.
