Logitech C525HD 720p Webcam USB Autofocus Mic Zoom Teams PC Mac · New in Box

Logitech C525 HD Webcam — New in Box

A brand new, factory-sealed Logitech C525 HD webcam. Records and streams 720p HD video through a genuine autofocus lens with a 69° diagonal field of view, and carries a built-in noise-reducing mono microphone. Connects over plain USB 2.0 with no drivers required, and folds flat for travel. Supplied with a 12-month warranty from Reboot IT.

Key Benefits

• True autofocus — the lens tracks and re-focuses as you move or hold something up to the camera, rather than locking to a single fixed distance like most budget webcams.
• 720p HD video — streams and records at 1280 × 720 in 16:9, a clear step up from the 480p sensors still fitted to many entry-level laptops.
• Fold-and-go design — the body folds flat against its clip, so it drops into a laptop bag without a case and without snagging.
• Built-in noise-reducing microphone — a mono mic with Logitech's RightSound processing, so a separate headset is optional rather than mandatory.
• Genuinely plug-and-play — a UVC-class USB 2.0 device. Windows, macOS and Chrome OS all recognise it natively, with no driver install and nothing to configure.
• Universal adjustable clip — opens to 48.94 mm, gripping a thin laptop lid, a desktop monitor bezel or sitting flat on a desk.

Performance in Use

The C525 is aimed squarely at everyday video calling, and that is where it earns its keep. Plug it into any free USB port and it is recognised immediately as a standard camera and microphone — Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Skype and browser-based calling all pick it up from the device list with no setup. For staff working from home, hot-desking, or any machine with a poor built-in camera, it is close to a zero-effort upgrade.

The autofocus is the feature that separates it from cheaper fixed-focus cameras. If you lean in, sit back, or hold up a document, a whiteboard sketch or a part number, the lens re-focuses and the detail stays readable. The 69° diagonal field of view is deliberately conservative — it frames one person at a desk cleanly rather than pulling in the whole room behind them, which is usually what you want on a work call.

Physically it is tiny: 88 g and about the size of a matchbox folded, on a 1.5 m cable that comfortably reaches a desktop tower on the floor. Worth setting expectations honestly — this is a 720p camera, not a 1080p or 4K one, and its maximum 30fps rate applies at 640 × 480. For video calls, remote support and everyday conferencing that is entirely sufficient. For content creation, streaming or anything where you want a shallow-depth-of-field look, a 1080p model is the better tool.

Condition

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this new or refurbished?

New. This is unused stock in its original sealed Logitech retail box, not a refurbished or returned unit. It carries a 12-month warranty from Reboot IT.

Will it work on a Mac?

Yes. The C525 is a UVC-class USB device, so macOS recognises it as a standard camera and microphone with no driver installation. The same applies to Windows and Chrome OS.

Does it work with Zoom and Microsoft Teams?

Yes. Because it presents as a standard camera, it appears in the device list of Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Skype and browser-based calling without any additional software.

Is it 1080p?

No — the C525 is a 720p (1280 × 720) camera. It is a clear improvement on a 480p built-in laptop webcam, but if you specifically need 1080p for streaming or recording, choose a higher model.

Does it have a built-in microphone?

Yes, a single built-in mono microphone with noise-reducing processing. It is fine for one person at a normal desk distance; a headset still gives better results in a noisy open-plan office.

Can I mount it on a tripod?

Not directly — the C525 has no tripod thread. It uses a universal folding clip that grips a laptop lid or monitor bezel, or sits flat on a desk.

What is shipping and delivery like?

Shipping costs apply based on size and destination — rates are calculated at checkout. Orders placed before the daily cut-off are typically dispatched the same business day from our Melbourne warehouse.
