hi, i hav 3 question:) 1.id use the c500 occasionally for "surveillance", recording car traffic in front of our house. i understand that its fixed focus is optimized for close objects. how bad would it blur out farther objects? like 20-30 metres, in daylight(!!). is this only a faint effect, or it is well noticable, like having a lower quality, plastic lens webcam? 2. what is the highest resolution in 30fps? 3. is there resolution steps between 640x480 and 1280x720? thx for advice :)

@kbuss10 hi there, the highest res in 30fps I believe is 640x480, and yes there are a few res between 640x480 and 1280x720.

You can do 768x 480, 800x450, 800x500,800x600, 864x480,960x720. Two of the common ones are usually 800x600(4:3) and 864x480 (16:9) . Thanks.

@geoisonfire Hi Geo :) and how many fps are the last 2 resolutions you stated? Thx :)

[geoisonfire]

@kbuss10 It shows the fps at the up left corner of this video. Thanks.

hey i have a s5500 and i can only run 15fps with the default software can you please tell me the software you use for 30fps thanks :)

@fatjerkyz check out my channel for the video "how to record HD video using your hd webcam" if your webcam isn't capable of using 30fps @ higher resolution, you can only reduce resolution in order to record @ 30fps.

I don't like it... I don't think you will like it.

There is a problem for me that i couldn't solve this far with the C500.

Whenever I start its software, there is only 360p available. The dropdown-menu contains just 320x180 & 360p... I would like to record at 720p.

Drivers and software are up to date and I'm running Win7 64 Bit.

Do you have an idea what went wrong?

edit: googled it, and it can be taken apart farly easily, and the focus is adjustable in the housing. it has a traditional focus ring. the c500, c270-310 also. u lose warranty of course. obviously logitech locked the focus to promote their auto focus cams... the other 2 question still apply :)
