Webcams for Video Calls

The OdessaConnect Resident TV app offers a video call feature. This is a great way to connect with your loved one. Family members can use their OdessaConnect family app to initiate video calls to the resident’s TV.

A webcam is not included as part of a standard OdessaConnect install. To enable this feature, a USB webcam must be purchased and plugged into the USB port on the back of the OdessaConnect box.

Recommended USB webcam: Logitech C270
