If you want one of those you can go with something like the logitech brio. Note, this is not just a glorified webcam.If you're considering buying something make sure to shop around. I've provided links (no affiliate junk or anything) to the hardware below for reference.I have gone through a few iterations to get something that has worked for me - expect to do the same.
There are many, many different ways that audio and video can be configured for an at home solution - this is just one of those ways. I'm simply providing details on what I landed on for my setup - it has worked for me, it might not for you.All setups tend to be unique but some of the tips below will transcend hardware and software.We're going to visit the two(2) aspects of this setup - Hardware, Software/ Configuration.īefore we do, here are some things that need to be highlighted so that you read this with the right context in mind: While not all platforms and devices are supported, it is definitely a step in the right direction for quality and connectedness. Have a look at what FujiFilm, Canon, Sony, Panasonic, and GoPro are doing for our remote community.
Update : I failed to mention that many of the big names in DSLR and Mirrorless are making it really easy to use your device as a "webcam". The kids and I would stream to a local maker space where looking at PCBs and wiring layouts made fine tune control over video a must - so this setup is built with that use case in mind. While my setup is not basic, it's also not too complex and out of reach in terms of cost. Folks once poked fun at the seemingly "high quality" of my audio and video - but as time passed and with the growing need for a quality connection with others seems to have made quality communication important again. I often get asked what my audio and video setup is at my home office when in zoom calls. Needless to say poor bandwidth, bad audio, and subpar video quality only serve to make connecting with others feel down right uncomfortable. They already knew it was Bokeh Balls before they even released the videos.Given the rise of distributed working many people new to it have found this remote thing a bit disorienting. The Pentagon is not required to tell the public what they are seeing in any leaked videos because a lot of stuff being filmed is actually pretty secret, using cameras that might ne secret, so the answer they give is "yes, this is a real, legitimate video shot by military personnel while carrying out their duties, that appears to contain an Unknown Aerial Phenomenon.
Most of the UAP videos leaked to the public, especially the ones with videos explaining what's actually being seen, have already been reviewed by people in the military and yes, they do know what Bokeh balls and airplanes and birds are. The job of the camera operator isn't necessarily to interpret the video, just to capture it - the intelligence dudes are the ones who review and classify (not necessarily secret either) the video, and determine what they're actually seeing. What the public fails to realize is that despite having access to classified advanced technology, the military is primarily composed of young men aged 18-26, with little real world life experience many of whom aren't familiar with camera artifacts.
