Logitech for Creators Mevo Start 3-Pack Wireless Live Streaming Cameras, for Multi-Camera HD Video,App Control and Stream via Smartphone or Wi-Fi

I am a podcaster, Youtuber, Coach and Event coordinator. I actually bought this on a gut instinct preparing for a conference I was streaming.Pro'sWifi Capable adds versatility with a strong wifi networkCan stream straight from "the right" mobile devices (more in cons)Wifi Webcam Mode1080pOnBoard Recording PossibleMobile control of ISO, Color Temp and other Camera adjustmentsCon'sOlder devices not all compatibleNOT fully compatible with the M1 Chip (wired webcam mode, no)Cannot adjust "Camera Settings" like ISO, White balance and such in Webcam modeNot 4KI stream on multiple platforms and this will certainly NOT replace my normal DSLR style camera. I. have used the wireless webcam mode and I hate that I can't adjust the white balance without connecting to my phone first, adjusting it, breaking the connection then reconnecting it to my computer. I change my lighting a lot depending on the shoot.However, this was a life saver when I was multi streaming an event. I just needed something with decent quality as a constant feed and it worked spectacularly in wireless webcam mode back to my computer.Understand, this is a decent "webcam" not the best but decent. It is not a replacement if you use DSLR's but for what it was created for which is event streaming or multi cam "set studio" (not changing often it is a great camera especially in use with a couple other MEVO SMART cams.One note, I would like to see them upgraded to be more computable with other softwares and platforms. If you don't want to use their native app for streaming with them, you are going to have to get creative because they are not friendly to any other software but theirs. Thus I used wireless webcam mode to bypass this short coming.

I have had the 3-pack Mevo Start cameras for about 9 months. I use them for teaching piano/voice via Zoom. Previously, I had a lot of audio issues and tried a streaming mixer and multiple types/brands of microphones with a high-end Clavinova digital piano with line-in connection to my laptop.Now, my students all pick the audio from the Mevo Start as their preferred sound. (Audio input sources can be selected on Zoom. I tried different configurations of microphones and connections; students always chose the Mevo audio.)My Blue Yeticaster USB and Shure SM7B XLR mics provide good vocal sound, but you have to physically stay close to the mic. As a teacher, I am moving around at the piano; the Mevo picks up my vocal audio as well as the piano audio without limiting my movement. Even with "room noise" (because I'm not in a studio--no sound proofing), the Mevo collects good audio.Literally, YEARS of trial and error and frustration ended when I finally invested in these cameras.I wanted the 3-pack so that I could show different angles of my hands at the piano, which my students really appreciate. Lack of USB ports on my computer was a challenge. I learned that a cheap USB hub creates a buzz in the audio. The solution was expensive--but effective. The StarTech 10-port 3.0 Hub 5Gbps supports the connection of multiple USB devices without messing up the audio. (The necessary power cables are sold separately.) With 10 ports, I can connect anything I want.Mevo can be used WITHOUT connecting via USB; I'm just not utilizing the other methods.The quality of the Mevo camera image is great--a dramatic improvement from my laptop's webcam. lolThe cameras are "managed" via an app on my phone (Android.) Since I have them connected to my laptop (PC not Mac) for Zoom, I would prefer that there was a way to edit the settings on my computer; but there isn't--yet.The settings in the app are extensive. You can adjust sooooo many things.The only small drawback in image quality that I have found is for very close up viewing of sheet music/words on paper; the staff lines and music notes get a little blurry when I am just a few inches from the camera. They are still legible, just not crisp. I realize that these cameras are typically for much larger settings, like zooming in to see players in sports. Everything in larger shots is very clear. The auto settings on the cameras even improve my poor lighting!I have 2 of the cameras attached to mic stands. I love that they can be screwed on securely. The third one fits into a cell phone holder on a flex neck so that I can easily adjust it for different angles. They are lightweight.I only use them inside, while connected to power, so I don't know about battery life.I have contacted customer support a couple of times and received prompt replies and solutions to my questions.I would definitely purchase these again.

The Mevo Start is a great camera for live streaming or for recording. It is good for those getting started in streaming. It is reasonably priced and has a lot of great features. You can live stream to most any service. The camera can be connected via Wi-Fi or with Ethernet (requires a separate adapter). Wi-Fi works well if you have good access points and signals. Streaming quality will depend on your upload speeds. Recording are saved directly to the camera but you will need get a micro-SD card as it does not come with one, but those are so affordable. You will need an Android or iOS tablet or phone to work with the camera. There is an app that controls and configures the camera.There is a built in microphone that works well. You can also alternatively connect an external sound source to the Aux 3.5 mm jack. It is configurable for Mic level input or Line level input (like sound board). There are level controls for audio within the app. It fits on most any tripod (standard 1/4 screw). I found battery life to be 4-5 hours which should be good in most cases. There is a USB-C connector on the camera that can be used for external power or ethernet adapter. Indicator LED on the front of the camera tells you the connection status and I believe can also act as a Tally light.One of the nice features is digital zoom. You can view what the camera sees from within the app. The app also lets you zoom the camera view in and out. You can also move a zoomed box around with the full field of the camera, so it almost like having PTZ. The video feed is quite good and there are settings for things like low lighting and outdoor.Camera looks and feels well built. There is no lens cover so you might want to get a case for it.The camera can also be configured as an NDI source and it works great with OBS, zoom and all.Good starter and can still be used in more advanced setups (like OBS). Keep in mind that the app can only be used with one camera at a time (you can move back and forth between cameras). A multi-cam app is being developed and is currently in Beta at this time.
