Logitech Launches Budget High-Quality Brio 300 Webcams

Citing the Logitech study Equipping Your Employees for Hybrid Work: What Research Tells Us, Scott Wharton, General Manager of Logitech B2B, stated: "We surveyed more than 3,000 remote workers and found that most non-webcam users struggle with poor lighting conditions, unflattering camera angles, and low-quality sound from their laptop speakers."

Spec-wise the Brio 300 series (Brio 300 and Brio 305) are HD 1080p webcams with high dynamic contrast, automatic light correction, and a single digital noise-cancelling microphone that enables users to see even in poor lighting and background noise.

A consistently reliable meeting experience allows users to participate in video calls. The webcam connects to users' computers via the USB-C connector, making it easy to join video conferences. A built-in privacy shutter can block the camera lens, giving users the option of a hidden workspace.

With an unconventional conical design, the webcam colours available are Off-White, Graphite, and Rose. Logitech intends for them to coordinate in style with its mice and keyboards.

Wharton enthused: "Brio 300 series webcams are perfect for those who want to make the easy but substantial jump to improve their video meeting experiences with an external webcam significantly and for companies who need to provide certified, simple-to-use webcams to employees’ home or office workstations, Brio 305 is that budget-friendly option."

The Brio 300 Series is the latest addition to Logitech's webcam product portfolio, offering a personalised personal workspace, easy to set up and use and supports new work logic purposefully designed for a brighter future.

For IT teams organising employee workspaces and home offices, the Brio 300 series webcams are compatible with most video conferencing platforms and certified for use with Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Google Meet. Brio 305 can be deployed across the enterprise and managed remotely via Logitech Sync, resulting in fewer helpdesk tickets.

How Sustainable Is the Brio 300 Series?

This year will see many firms vie for sustainability credentials as many look for them to commit to better environmental governance.

David Danto, Director of UC Strategy and Research at Poly, forecasts in the just-released and exclusive UC Predictions 2023 video that: "You're going to start to see, you know, environmental, social governance (ESG) become something that's a recruiting standard. Young people are entering the workforce, and old people like me in the workforce organizations for sustainable organizations.",

With an eye on this Logitech says it is committed to creating a fairer, more climate-friendly world by actively reducing its carbon footprint. The Brio 300 and Brio 305 plastic parts contain certified post-consumer recycled plastics (excludes Electronic (EE) Components, cables, and packaging), giving a second life to post-consumer plastics from older appliances.

Paper packaging is sourced from FSC™ certified forests and other controlled sources, and by choosing this product, Logitech claim, users are supporting the responsible management of the world's forests.

All Logitech products are certified carbon neutral and use renewable energy wherever possible. The carbon footprint of all Logitech products, including the Brio 300 and Brio 305, has been reduced to zero by supporting carbon-reducing forests, renewable energy, and climate-affected communities.

The Brio 300 and Brio 305 will be available in January 2023 at logitech.com and other major retailers worldwide. The suggested retail price for both webcams is $69.99.
