Be there to share precious moments with Logitech high quality video calling.

The QuickCam Pro 9000 can help—the webcam that makes high-quality video calls remarkably easy, so you can just focus on being in the conversation. Go ahead. Blow a kiss to the birthday girl. Give two anniversary thumbs up to your favorite couple. Show off that A+ college paper to the folks back home.

Key Features

AutoFocus with Carl Zeiss lens system for sharper, smoother picture quality

QuickCam Pro 9000 features Carl Zeiss optics, the king of high-precision camera lenses. Capture your live video conversations in razor-sharp detail.

High Quality Autofocus
Lean in for an extreme close up, step back for a long shot or get the whole family in a wide shot—your image won't lose focus. The lens automatically adjusts to the slightest movement for much smoother video chats without fuzzy images, stutters and distractions.

True 2-megapixel videos and 8-megapixel photos-see everything

When it comes to seeing the true color of their eyes and the little details that form their smile, picture resolution means everything. That's why the QuickCam Pro 9000 gives you a breathtaking 50% higher video resolution than standard 1.3-megapixel webcams. Video calling never looked more real. The same goes for photos. Capture and email stunning snapshots, up to 8-megapixels, at the touch of a button.

Intelligent Face Tracking keeps you and yours center-screen

Feel free to show off, sit up, sit back, rock out, make funny faces and talk with your hands. Just do what comes naturally. You won't have to change the webcam's position or angle. Intelligent Face Tracking always keeps your face in the center of the video frame. And with the ultra-wide field of view, your whole family can take center-screen with you.

RightLight2 Technology for the ideal image-even in dim light

Say you're making a late-night video call to a caffeinated friend in another hemisphere. The only light on is a desk lamp, leaving your face in the dark. No problem. Logitech RightLight2 Technology instantly detects and corrects poor lighting—even tricky back- and side-lighting that would otherwise hide your face in shadows. It's like having your own lighting technician who instantly adjusts and balances the brightness on you, the foreground and background. Now, looking great on camera is so easy, it's brilliant.

Built-in microphone with RightSound Technology for crystal-clear conversations without a headset

With some webcams, your "voice, voice, voice" echoes back during a video call. Logitech RightSound Technology automatically cancels distracting echoes and background noise. So video calls sound as clear and natural as talking in the same room. Want your video calls to be more private? It's as simple as adding a headset.

Logitech Video Effects: video calls go Hollywood

Feel like a queen? Be one on your next video call. It's easy, thanks to included Logitech Video Effects software. Personalize your appearance with hundreds of realistic effects, only from Logitech. Transform yourself into animated avatar characters who mirror your movements in real time. Talk and your avatar talks. Smile and your avatar smiles. Also add fun Face Accessories to your live-action image. Quirky glasses. Crazy hats. A royal crown. It's your choice. Or use Fun Filters to turn your image artsy, neon or creepy as a ghost.

Works with all instant messaging programs for hassle-free calling

All you need to start video calling is the webcam, a high-speed Internet connection and any instant messaging software. We recommend Logitech Vid video calling software. You can also download other IM programs online. Unlike some brands, QuickCam Pro 9000 works with all popular instant messaging programs—yours and whomever you call, so getting connected is hassle-free. Designed with a universal mounting clip, the webcam is easy to attach to any desktop or notebook PC display.
