THE SHORT ANSWER

Our take

Logitech C505 part 960-001363 is documented as an HD 720p webcam with a long-range microphone and a two-meter USB-A cable. The current Amazon item names C505 and listing number 960-001363-cr under Renewed condition, so the page keeps that offer status visible without calling the suffix a hardware revision. The part-specific Logitech material does not give a mode/rate table, diagonal field, or focus method. It is a simple-call option when those unknowns are acceptable, not a model to choose for a precise high-frame-rate or privacy requirement.

Consider it for

A straightforward HD call setup where a long-range microphone and cable reach matter more than a verified high frame rate, framing angle, or privacy shutter..

Look elsewhere if

It is not a strong fit for buyers who require 1080p or 4K, a documented 60 fps mode, a known diagonal field, proven autofocus, a physical privacy cover, or exact package details for a renewed unit.

Pros & cons

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

What works in its favor

  • Logitech's part-specific material identifies the C505 960-001363 and HD 720p video.
  • The maker documents a long-range microphone and a two-meter USB-A cable.
  • The current item page maps B092PM22XY to the C505 renewed listing number 960-001363-cr.

What to weigh up

  • The exact-part source does not specify the frame rate or diagonal field of view.
  • Focus, a physical lens cover, integrated light, and shutter-linked audio behavior remain unknown.
  • Renewed condition and exact package details belong to the current offer and may not describe a future listing.

Full review: how the features affect your choice

What the features mean for you

Keep C505 and C505e distinct

Logitech's education material names C505 and part 960-001363. Its comparison matrix separately lists C505e as part 960-001385, so this product page does not borrow a C505e-only part number or assume that the two catalog names are interchangeable. The current Amazon item page names C505, lists model number 960-001363-cr, and marks the offer Renewed. That supports the direct link for this specific listing; the -cr suffix is not explained by Logitech as a hardware revision. It is safer to describe the item as a renewed C505 listing than to infer changes to the camera itself. The current package remains an offer-level detail, so verify what arrives if a particular mount, cable, or accessory matters.

What the 720p evidence does and does not say

Logitech associates the exact 960-001363 part with HD 720p video. The part-specific education source does not give the frame rate, a complete list of modes, or a maximum diagonal field. This page therefore treats 720p as the documented video-height limit in the available part record but does not claim 30 fps, 60 fps, or a measured camera angle. That distinction matters for calls on different displays: resolution by itself does not tell you how smoothly the camera can move, what width of room it includes, or whether your app will expose a particular mode. If frame timing or room framing is a must-have, ask for the part-specific specification before choosing the C505.

The microphone and cable are the strongest documented fit

Logitech describes a long-range microphone for the C505 960-001363 and lists a two-meter USB-A cable. Those details can help when the computer sits farther from the camera than a short desk lead allows, or when the microphone is expected to reach beyond a very close laptop position. The part-specific source used here does not state a pickup pattern, numeric distance, noise-reduction result, microphone count, or built-in speaker. The long-range phrase is a maker claim, not a measured result in a particular room. Plan a separate headset or speakerphone if room acoustics and private two-way audio matter more than the convenience of a camera microphone.

Do not fill in the missing focus and privacy fields

The exact C505 960-001363 sources inspected for this review do not state autofocus, a fixed focus distance, a diagonal field, a physical lens cover, or whether any privacy control interrupts microphone capture. Those fields stay unknown instead of being copied from a different Logitech part or from a generic listing. This is especially useful for a renewed product: a nearby photo or accessory bundle may show a different clip or cover, but it does not prove the exact camera has that feature. If a visible physical privacy action is required, choose a model whose maker documentation confirms the control and its relation to audio. Do not infer a fill light from automatic exposure or lighting correction language.

Who should consider this renewed C505

Consider it when the maker-identified 720p video, long-range microphone, and 2 m USB-A cable fit a simple meeting or study setup and a renewed offer is acceptable. It is less suitable when you need precise documentation for high frame rates, broad room coverage, autofocus, or a shutter. A new condition C505 or a different C505e listing should remain separate unless a source establishes its exact part and offer boundary. The source-based review makes no claim about current stock, price, buyer ratings, image tests, or what accessories a future seller will ship. Check the current item's return and condition details yourself.

Compare for your needs

For a high-frame-rate call camera, choose a model with an exact 60-fps mode table. For a physical privacy requirement, choose a product with a maker-documented cover.

Before you buy

Does part 960-001363 support 1080p video?

The Logitech material reviewed for C505 part 960-001363 identifies HD 720p video, not a 1080p mode.

Is C505 part 960-001363 the same as C505e?

Logitech lists C505 as 960-001363 and C505e separately as 960-001385, so the part numbers are kept distinct.

Does the exact part document 60 fps?

The part-specific Logitech source does not give a frame rate, so 60 fps is not confirmed for this listing.

What does Renewed mean for B092PM22XY?

The current Amazon item identifies a renewed C505 listing; exact accessory condition and future offer details should be checked on the live page.

Does this C505 include a privacy shutter?

The exact-part Logitech material used here does not establish a physical lens cover or an audio cutoff linked to privacy.
