Using a Webcamera with PTBooth A1 PLUS
THE WEBCAMERA CAN BE USED TO TAKE PHOTOS AND RECORD VIDEOS.You will be able to record HD video and audio if your webcamera is capable of recording in HD format.
We recommend using the Logitech C920 webcamera for your Photo Booth. The Logitech C920 webcamera is capable of recording HD video (1080p) and has a built-in video compressor that will deliver a high quality video with a very small file size.
