THE SHORT ANSWER

Our take

The Logitech HD Webcam C615 part 960-000736 Central is a fold-flat USB webcam with 1080p recording modes, 720p calls, autofocus, a mono microphone, a physical shade and tripod placement. Its exact Amazon item is matched to Logitech's Central part sheet. Logitech does not assign a frame rate to its HD modes, so the camera is not presented as 1080p30 or 1080p60. This is a source-based assessment, not a personal test.

Consider it for

A traveler or desk caller who wants a documented C615 part with autofocus, a physical shade and a bundled extension cable, and can confirm the host and current seller package..

Look elsewhere if

Not for someone who requires a confirmed 1080p60 mode, a clearly wide diagonal view, a camera-mounted light, an integrated speaker, or confirmed compatibility with a current operating system and conferencing app.

Pros & cons

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

What works in its favor

  • The exact C615 model name, 960-000736 part number and matching GTIN/EAN establish a defensible direct link to this Central variant.
  • The part-specific sheet documents 1080p recording and 720p calls, while the C615 support table identifies autofocus, USB/UVC and a physical privacy shade.
  • A folding design, 360-degree pan, tripod thread and included 90 cm extension cable offer several placement choices in the original package.

What to weigh up

  • Logitech does not assign a frame rate to the HD modes; the only stated maximum in its C615 table is 30 fps at 640×480.
  • The 74-degree diagonal value and a 78-degree C615 marketing value without an axis cannot be treated as equivalent measurements.
  • Logitech's release-era host list is old, its current support page has no downloads, and used or renewed seller contents may differ from the original box.

What the features mean for you

Does the listing match part 960-000736?

The Amazon item page identifies Logitech as the brand, C615 as the model name, 960-000736 as the model number, B00573Y2BI as the ASIN, and 05099206028043 as the GTIN. Logitech's 2011 package sheet is explicitly for the 960-000736 Central part and prints EAN 5 099 206 028 043; the digits match after removing display spaces and the GTIN's leading zero. That independent identifier match resolves the frozen title's conflicting 960-000733 suffix for this row. I keep this Central part separate from the already released 960-000733 product and leave that page untouched. The old sheet describes the original retail package, not a guarantee about a present used or renewed offer. Check the seller's current part number, condition and included pieces before buying.

What do its Full HD modes establish?

The part-specific sheet describes Full HD 1080p recording and 720p video calls on the recommended setup. It also advertises photos up to 8 megapixels, but says that figure is software-interpolated; Logitech's support table calls the optical resolution 2 megapixels. Still-photo interpolation is not extra live-video detail. The technical table lists widescreen capture modes through 1080p and gives a maximum of 30 frames per second only at 640 by 480. It does not pair 1080p or 720p with a rate. I therefore leave the HD rate unassigned and do not sell this as 1080p30 or 1080p60. A buyer who needs a specific streaming cadence should choose a camera whose maker assigns that rate to the required resolution and should confirm what the host app exposes.

How do focus and framing affect placement?

Logitech documents autofocus, which can help when a speaker leans toward the camera or brings a nearby object into view. The exact-part sheet also describes a fold-flat body, a 360-degree pan and a tripod thread. Those features make it easier to reposition or pack than a camera meant to stay fixed on one screen. They do not mean that the C615 automatically tracks a moving person. For framing, Logitech's C615 support table states 74 degrees diagonal, while a Logitech marketing page for sibling part 960-000733 gives 78 degrees without naming the angle axis. The second figure cannot be compared directly with the diagonal value, and there is no part-736-specific measurement to resolve the difference. The matching profile therefore leaves the diagonal angle unknown rather than treating the C615 as a confirmed wide room camera.

Does the camera add light or a privacy control?

The C615 support table lists a physical privacy shade. A cover gives the user a physical way to block the lens between sessions, but Logitech does not say that moving it mutes or disconnects the microphone. The manufacturer also describes RightLight and automatic exposure adjustment. Those functions adjust the image; they do not establish a lamp built into the camera. Someone working in a dim room should plan on room lighting or choose a model with a documented integrated light. Someone who needs both video and audio privacy should use a separate microphone mute or headset control unless the exact host provides a documented alternative.

What audio, cable and mount are documented?

Logitech identifies one mono microphone and the 960-000736 sheet describes automatic noise reduction. This supports an integrated voice-input option for an ordinary call; it does not establish microphone pickup distance, stereo capture, measured noise performance or a built-in speaker. The exact Central package sheet lists a 90 cm camera cable, a separate 90 cm extension cable, Logitech Vid HD software, user documentation and a tripod thread. Logitech's C615 technical page specifies USB 2.0 and UVC support. Together these details describe a flexible original setup, but the connector shape is not stated and the exact accessories should be checked in a current seller offer rather than assumed from an old box list.

Will the legacy support information fit a current computer?

Logitech's specification records Windows XP, Vista and 7, plus Mac OS 10.5x or 10.6.x, as operating systems supported at release. The page now displays no downloads for the product and does not confirm which current conferencing apps or operating systems work with it. USB 2.0 and UVC identify the interface, but they are not a promise that every adapter, port, application and security setting will behave as desired. Confirm the intended host before relying on this as a primary camera. Compared with sibling part 960-000733, the main buying distinction established here is the exact Central SKU and its original package sheet, which lists the extension cable. Treat them as separate exact parts, not as different performance tiers unless a source supports that claim.

Who should shortlist this exact part?

Choose this C615 when the seller identifies part 960-000736 and the folding mount, autofocus, physical shade and extension cable fit a travel or desk-call routine. It is a weaker match for a buyer who must verify a 1080p frame rate, needs at least a 90-degree diagonal view, wants a built-in lamp or speaker, or expects current software support without checking. The source does not establish present availability, price or condition, so review the actual offer and package. If the required feature is 1080p60, a wider measured field, or guaranteed modern compatibility, choose a model with direct documentation for that need. The recommendation is based on source comparison and not personal testing or buyer-review summaries.

What else to compare

Choose Logitech C615 part 960-000733 when that exact part is the verified listing; choose a camera with a specified HD frame rate, unambiguous diagonal field, or current host support when one of those is essential.

Before you buy

Is this the same exact part as C615 960-000733?

No. This item is identified as part 960-000736 Central and has a GTIN that matches Logitech's Central-part EAN. Keep it separate from the existing 960-000733 record.

Does it record 1080p at 60 frames per second?

No 1080p frame rate is assigned in Logitech's inspected C615 documents. The support table only states a 30 fps maximum at 640×480.

Is 8 megapixels its native video resolution?

No. Logitech describes a 2MP true optical resolution and up-to-8MP software-interpolated photos; it does not describe 8MP live video.

Does it have a built-in lamp or speaker?

The inspected documents describe image correction and a mono microphone. They do not establish a built-in subject light or speaker.

Does the privacy shade mute the microphone?

Logitech documents the physical shade but does not state that it cuts off audio.

What is listed in the original 960-000736 package?

The Logitech sheet lists the webcam with a 90 cm cable, a 90 cm extension, Logitech Vid HD software, user documentation and a tripod thread. Check the current seller offer for actual contents.

Its HD frame rate and comparable diagonal field are unresolved, and current host support needs checking. Verify the exact part and seller package before purchase.
