Alternatives to the Logitech C920

Stuart Marshall

Does anybody have suggestions for cameras that work with uvch264src? The Logitech C920 is great, but has a limited viewing angle and is hard to buy these days. I’ve found a couple cameras (e.g. from ELP) that output h264 from hardware, but only work with v4l2src – not with uvch264src. I like (and need) the extra controls afforded by uvch264src. Would love to hear recommendations for cameras.

 

Thanks,

 

Stuart

As far as I know, the uvch264src element only works with the C920, I don't know of any other camera that implemented this somewhat strange specification. It is less relevant these days as we have USB 3.0/3.1 with high enough bandwidth, and we almost all processors include some kind of hardware H.264 acceleration.
