Remote work just got a quality upgrade. Logitech's Brio 500 webcam - the variant of Wired's favorite webcam - is now $35 off at Best Buy, dropping to $95. The timing couldn't be better as companies finalize 2025 remote work policies and professionals invest in home office upgrades.
Logitech just made professional video calls more affordable. The company's Brio 500 webcam, which earned top marks from Wired's webcam roundup, is now available for $95 at Best Buy - a $35 discount that brings premium video quality within reach of more remote workers.
The sale comes as companies across tech hubs finalize their 2025 remote work policies, with many professionals looking to upgrade home office setups that have been running on laptop cameras for years. The Brio 500's 4-megapixel sensor delivers noticeably sharper image quality than standard webcams, capturing 1080p video at 30 frames per second or dropping to 720p for smoother 60fps performance.
What sets this webcam apart from budget alternatives is its intelligent framing technology. Logitech's RightSight feature automatically centers users in the frame and adjusts zoom levels - crucial for professionals who move around during presentations or need to demonstrate products. The adjustable field of view offers three settings (90, 78, and 65 degrees), letting users fine-tune their on-screen presence.
The stereo microphone system extends pickup range to four feet, meaning users can step back from their desk without losing audio quality. According to Wired's review, the mount system proves surprisingly durable, with adhesive backing that "stayed nice and sticky even when moving it frequently."
Logitech's G Hub software bundle adds professional-grade controls typically found in much more expensive setups. Auto-focus and white balance adjustments happen automatically, while the webcam can tilt downward for desk demonstrations - a feature that's proven popular among product managers and technical presenters.
The deal highlights an interesting market shift in webcam positioning. The Brio 500 targets consumers with a one-year warranty, while its nearly identical sibling, the Brio 505, focuses on business customers with a three-year warranty. The specifications remain essentially the same, making the consumer version an attractive option for professionals buying their own equipment.
