There’s no setup required and the Logitech really is a case of plug-and-play, on both Mac and PC.

Rubber inserts ensure the mount won’t scratch whatever the webcam is attached to. The universal monitor mount is similar to those used by other webcams, and should attach to just about any monitor. The C270 HD is nice and compact, with a two-tone design and a good amount of vertical adjustability. Thankfully the lens is very small and recessed into the camera a fair bit, so you’d have to be very unlucky for anything to get in there and cause damage. Even the lens cover is plastic instead of glass, meaning the picture isn’t quite as sharp as it could be, and you should watch out for scratches and scuffs degrading quality further still.

Unsurprisingly, this is an all-plastic webcam. See also: Best Logitech webcams (opens in new tab) Build and handling (Image credit: Alistair Charlton/Digital Camera World)
