THE SHORT ANSWER

Our take

Logitech TV Cam for Revue, part 960-000665, is a legacy camera built around Logitech Revue and Google TV video calling. Logitech's launch material describes up to 720p video through Revue and Vid HD, a wide-angle lens, two directional digital microphones, RightLight 2 low-light image adjustment, and 5× digital zoom. An exact-part retailer record identifies 960-000665 and lists a six-foot USB extension, cleaning cloth, and manual. That does not establish the current status of Vid HD, compatibility with modern computers, or the exact contents of historical Amazon ASIN B0040QE98Y. Logitech support currently shows no downloads or documents on the checked TV Cam page. Treat it as a product for someone who can verify the original platform, not a plug-and-play replacement for a current USB webcam. It is a separate identity from TV Cam HD part 960-000923.

Consider it for

A Revue owner or legacy-device collector who can verify a working compatible setup and exact package. It is not a safe general-purpose recommendation for a modern USB conferencing computer..

Look elsewhere if

Not for a general modern USB webcam purchase, a confirmed current video-call service, 1080p or higher video, autofocus, a physical privacy shutter, or a direct Amazon ASIN destination.

Pros & cons

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

What works in its favor

  • Logitech documents up to 720p video calls through the Revue platform.
  • The launch release identifies two directional microphones, RightLight 2 image adjustment, and 5× digital zoom.
  • An exact-part retailer record distinguishes 960-000665 and lists a USB extension cable and basic package items.

What to weigh up

  • The documented camera workflow depends on Revue and Vid HD; present-day service and modern host compatibility are unknown.
  • No mode-rate table, numeric field angle, focus behavior, physical cover, or integrated speaker is confirmed.
  • Historical ASIN B0040QE98Y is not mapped to part 960-000665.
  • Do not transfer specifications from the distinct TV Cam HD 960-000923.

Full review: how the features affect your choice

What the features mean for you

A camera designed around Logitech Revue

Logitech introduced TV Cam for Google TV as a USB camera connected to the Logitech Revue set-top box. The press release describes video calling through the Revue and Vid HD software, and the exact-part Best Buy page says the camera is intended for Logitech Revue. This platform dependency is central to the buying decision: the evidence does not establish that the camera behaves as an ordinary UVC webcam when plugged into a modern laptop, television, hub, or conferencing app. The right audience is someone who already owns and can verify the Revue equipment or is collecting the hardware. Before buying a legacy unit, confirm the Revue itself, any required software account or service, the camera's USB cable, and the seller's package. A model name alone cannot guarantee that period software remains available or works today.

The image claim is 720p, without a published rate table

Logitech's launch material says video calls can reach up to 720p through Revue and Vid HD. The inspected sources do not provide a complete resolution-and-frame-rate matrix. It is therefore fair to describe a 720p ceiling, but not to invent a frame rate, promise present-day service quality, or assume the camera can be selected by a current desktop application. If you need modern Full HD or a known 60-fps stream, this is the wrong evidence base; compare webcams whose current maker documentation explicitly lists those modes and their host requirements. The historic platform claim is preserved as a dated product fact, not as a statement about current video-call availability.

Digital zoom does not equal optical pan or tracking

The product records identify Carl Zeiss wide-angle optics and 5× digital zoom. Neither source assigns a degree value to the field of view, names its measurement axis, or documents autofocus. Digital zoom crops or enlarges the camera image; it should not be described as an optical zoom lens or as a motorized pan-and-tilt mechanism. If you need precise room framing, confirm the actual image angle and controls from model-specific documentation before relying on the word wide-angle. Because the exact field is unknown, this guide does not rank the TV Cam against cameras with published diagonal coverage numbers. It also does not infer subject tracking from the camera's use with a television.

RightLight is image adjustment, not a lamp

Logitech describes RightLight 2 as a way to improve the camera image in low-light conditions. That is an image-processing feature, not proof of an integrated light shining on the user. The reviewed materials also do not document a physical lens shutter or cover. If visual privacy matters, inspect the exact unit for a mechanical cover or add a compatible external cover. The two directional microphones are another separate path: no source describes a linked hardware control that cuts microphone capture when the lens is blocked. Do not use old software or on-screen controls as a substitute for a visible camera shutter unless you have tested that specific setup.

The camera includes microphones, but no documented speaker

Logitech's release lists two directional digital microphones. The camera's own speaker is not established in the checked sources; Revue connects to a television, so playback may come from the wider entertainment setup rather than the camera. That distinction matters if the part is being considered as an all-in-one conferencing bar. The Best Buy page lists a six-foot USB extension, cleaning cloth, and manual for its exact 960-000665 record. Those package details do not prove the contents of the frozen Amazon ASIN or any other seller's used or refurbished unit. Check the actual offer for the extension and accessories, and do not assume that the camera can work without its Revue host.

Keep it separate from TV Cam HD

This product is Logitech TV Cam for Revue part 960-000665. Logitech TV Cam HD part 960-000923 is a different model. Similar names are not a part-number crosswalk, so no resolution, lens, package, or software facts from the HD version have been copied here. Logitech's current support family page has no downloads, documents, or FAQs at the time checked. That is a limit on what the page supplies, not proof that every old unit is unusable. The historical Amazon row's B0040QE98Y is not independently mapped to 960-000665, so the product uses a tagged exact-part search. Confirm the label and Revue-oriented package on a seller result before purchasing.

Compare for your needs

For a current general-purpose USB webcam, select a product with current maker host requirements and a model-specific UVC mode table. For a small room with one-box speaker and microphone hardware, compare Amcrest ACC4. The Revue TV Cam makes sense only when the original platform is part of the plan.

Before you buy

Can I plug it into any modern computer as a USB webcam?

That is not established. Logitech describes a USB connection to Revue and Vid HD, not generic modern UVC support.

What is the documented video ceiling?

Logitech says up to 720p through Revue/Vid HD; the checked sources do not provide a frame-rate table.

Does RightLight 2 mean it has a built-in ring light?

No. It is described as low-light image adjustment, not a face-illuminating lamp.

Is this the same product as TV Cam HD 960-000923?

No. This record is TV Cam for Revue part 960-000665; the HD part is separate.

Is B0040QE98Y proven to be this model?

No. Use the tagged search for 960-000665 and verify the seller's model label and package.

Where can I check the current price?
