Short answer: Probably yes - the camera works under Windows 11 in USB Video Class (UVC) mode, so no special driver is required, according to the manufacturer and dealer information.
Explanation:
- The camera supports the USB Video Class (UVC) standard, which means that it is recognised as a plug-and-play device by modern Windows systems; Logitech and dealers list compatibility with Windows 10 or higher (i.e. also Windows 11).
- Logitech provides downloads/support pages for the model, but points out that older Logitech software is no longer maintained; this is generally not necessary for basic functions (video, microphone).
- Notes from user reports show that the camera runs under Windows 11 with the standard Windows drivers, but there are cases in which older Logitech drivers can cause problems with system functions (e.g. memory integrity/VBS); if necessary, you can switch to the standard Windows drivers in the Device Manager.
If you like, I can briefly explain how to check the camera in Windows 11 and fix any driver issues.
The Logitech C270 webcam generally does not require additional drivers to be installed in order to operate. It is designed for quick and easy installation via a USB connection, and the operating system should recognise it automatically once connected.
- The USB connection means you can get started straight away without having to download or install any additional drivers or software.
So you can use the webcam on your work computer without having to install any drivers.
Software is needed to recognise a QR code. A mobile phone camera recognises a QR code because there is software behind it. But if you point any camera at a QR code, nothing happens.
This is not because of Corona, but because you have selected a third-party product (here: JACOB DE)😉 Here is the same webcam from Digitec, with a normal price: Logitech C270 (1Mpx)
Hello. I would write to Digitec directly. Specifically to support.
I think there is something fundamentally wrong here. I am a customer and this camera normally costs on average about 50-55 francs.
For example:
Logitech C270 (1Mpx)
The difference is that Digitec/Galaxus can actually deliver the camera to you. This was not a matter of course for webcams in the Corona days. The price is defined by supply and demand...
If you look, the price of 121.22 CHF comes from another shop, it is located under the product image, under the heading "All suppliers". If you press the small "Show more" button, you will see the price of Digitec.
This is because the third party shop's delivery is faster than Digitec's, or their stock, it depends.
This is the principle of supply and demand on which our entire economy is based. Little demand and much supply => low price. Much demand and little supply => high price. This is not only the case at Digitec, but everywhere.
