1080p webcams: Smarten up your video calls with these external cameras

When it comes to 1080p webcams, the C925e sits at the head of the table. Not that you would know it from the list of specs, which are entirely ordinary for the price.

Start recording with the C925e, however, and the difference in quality becomes instantly clear. Just like the more expensive C930e, it puts you in the best light – even in the worst light. Nor will you have to fiddle with settings to find the right colour intensity or white balance, with the onboard processing doing such a good job that the fact you can take fine control over both aspects becomes a check in a box rather than a meaningful feature.

The C930e is a better choice for presenters thanks to its wider 90° field of view capturing more of the background, but the C925e’s 78° is perfect for everyday meetings where you need to stay centre of frame – not too big, not too small. With no way to twist the camera, however, its design is static compared to rivals.

It’s also one of the widest units here, with the space on either side of the lens dedicated to large dual microphones. Don’t get too excited – they’re no match for a dedicated headset – but they’re effective enough for standard video calls.

With certification across Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Skype for Business and many more videoconferencing apps – plus support for H.264, which maximises quality over low bandwidths – this is a reliable and high-quality business webcam. Only one thing counts against it, and that’s the price.
