THE SHORT ANSWER

Our take

The Logitech B905 part 960-000564 is an identifiable portable webcam with documented 720p30 and VGA30 video, software-dependent autofocus, a built-in microphone, USB 2.0/UVC, a carrying case, and an eye-level desktop stand. It is best treated as a legacy travel option, because its historical Amazon ASIN is not cross-mapped and current computer or app support is unresolved. This is a source-based assessment, not a personal test.

Consider it for

A legacy travel setup where 720p30, autofocus after installing compatible software, a built-in microphone, and a compact case-and-stand package are enough..

Look elsewhere if

Do not choose it when you require Full HD, documented 60 fps, verified support for a current operating system or meeting app, a confirmed privacy shutter, or autofocus that works without the old downloadable software.

Pros & cons

What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.

What works in its favor

  • B&H lists exact manufacturer part 960-000564 with 720p30 and VGA30 video modes.
  • The record documents autofocus, a built-in microphone, USB 2.0/UVC, a carrying case, and an eye-level stand.
  • Logitech's business catalog independently identifies part 960-000564 as the B905 2MP Portable Webcam.

What to weigh up

  • The highest documented live video mode is 720p30; the 8MP figure is still-photo capture with software.
  • Autofocus and RightLight 2 features depend on downloadable software whose present-day compatibility is unverified.
  • The 75-degree view has no stated axis, and neither current host support nor B002UAV0A2-to-part identity is established.

What the features mean for you

Is this the B905 part named in the candidate row?

B&H identifies the product as Logitech B905 and gives manufacturer number 960-000564. A separate Logitech-branded business catalog also lists the B905 2MP Portable Webcam under that part number. This is enough to describe the model and part, but not to connect historical Amazon ASIN B002UAV0A2 to a particular current seller offer or package. The nearby 960-000565 B905 record is a separate part and has not been merged here. The purchase destination therefore searches for the exact B905 part and includes the affiliate tag rather than asserting an ASIN match. Check the part number and contents on any offer before buying.

What does the 720p specification cover?

B&H lists 720p widescreen video and VGA video, each at up to 30 frames per second. It also lists a 2MP sensor and optional 8MP still-image capture after software installation. Those numbers describe different outputs: the higher still-photo figure does not make the camera an 8MP live-video model. Buyers who need a documented Full HD image should select a model with an explicit 1920×1080 video mode. For a basic legacy call, the named 720p30 ceiling is at least concrete, although these specifications cannot establish how the camera will look in a particular room or calling application.

How do autofocus and the 75-degree view affect placement?

The B&H record describes autofocus for close-ups as requiring Logitech's downloadable business webcam software, and gives a focus distance as close as 10 cm. That software dependency matters if a buyer expects autofocus to work immediately through a modern operating system's generic camera stack. The page also describes a 75-degree wide-angle lens, but does not say whether that number is horizontal, vertical, or diagonal. It should not be compared directly with a product whose diagonal field is explicitly measured. The sources do not document motorized framing or subject tracking, so place the camera where the desired frame can stay fixed.

Does it supply light, privacy, or a complete audio system?

Logitech's catalog associates RightLight 2 with the B905, while B&H describes image adjustment for dim or backlit rooms. That is camera exposure processing, not proof of a lamp mounted beside the lens. The record documents a built-in microphone and RightSound noise processing, but gives no dependable pickup distance, microphone mute behavior, or built-in speaker. A physical lens cover is not established in the materials checked. If a desk requires an integrated light, a confirmed shutter, audio cutoff, or room playback, this product's evidence does not meet those specific needs; choose a model with the control explicitly documented.

What comes in the portable setup, and what remains old?

The part-matched B&H record lists a carrying case and an eye-level desktop stand, alongside the webcam, documentation, and downloadable software. That supports a travel-oriented use more clearly than it supports a universal current compatibility claim. B&H's saved requirements name Windows XP, Vista, and 7, plus Linux when its UVC driver is installed. UVC and USB 2.0 identify a historical standard connection, but do not guarantee behavior with a current computer, browser, conferencing app, or security policy. Cable length and connector shape are not established here. Confirm both the exact package and target host before relying on the B905 for work.

Who should consider it instead of a newer webcam?

Consider the B905 only when the 720p30 ceiling, software-assisted autofocus, built-in mic, and compact stand-and-case arrangement fit a simple travel or legacy setup. Its part identity is stronger than its candidate offer identity, and it lacks documentation for several features that often determine a present-day purchase: Full HD, a diagonal field, a physical lens cover, and current OS support. A buyer who needs a higher-resolution image or current, model-specific support evidence should compare a newer Full HD webcam instead. Do not infer that a search result for the model is the same revision or package as B002UAV0A2. The tagged exact-part search is a lead for checking offers, not proof that any one offer is correct.

What else to compare

Choose the B905 only when its portable stand-and-case package and 720p30 modes are sufficient. For a current call setup, compare a model with documented Full HD modes and current host evidence.

Before you buy

Does the B905 record 1080p video?

No 1080p mode is listed in the part-matched B&H record; it documents 720p30 and VGA30.

Is the B905's 8MP figure its live-video resolution?

No. B&H describes 8MP still photos with software, separately from 720p30 and VGA30 video.

Does the 75-degree view mean a 75-degree diagonal field?

The checked record does not name the measurement axis, so diagonal FOV remains unknown.

Is ASIN B002UAV0A2 proven to be part 960-000564?

No. The exact candidate offer was not mapped; use the tagged search for B905 part 960-000564.

Where can I check the current price?

The decision

The B905 has a well-identified part and a useful travel package, but buyers should accept its 720p ceiling, software-dependent autofocus, unknown field-angle axis, and unresolved current compatibility before choosing it.
