Camera for use with Cisco Unified Video advantage?

[NPT_2]

Cisco is EOLing the Cisco Unified video advantage product that we thought would be a good fit for us to integrate video with some of our IP Phones.  I can still order the Video Advantage software until later in the year from Cisco but they have discontinued the Cisco VT Camera III that was previously used with this product. 

They list the Logitech C920-C web cam as a replacement for this product, but it seems to be difficult to locate.  The realease notes say you can use a 3rd party camera but Cisco does not officially support it. 

Has anyone used any third party cameras with Cisco Unified Video advantage and if so which would you recomend.  I was hoping to use the Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 (the generic non Cisco version) but wasn't sure if it would work ok? 

What do you think?  This will be using Unified Video Advantage 2.3.

Hi,

We have been using Video advantage v 2.1.2 with 7940 series phone since long, it works fine with almost all 3rd party camera`s and even with the inbuilt laptop cameras.

v 2.3 is an enhanced version as compared the one which we are using. So i would suggest you to go ahead and try it with any good qaulity webcameras available in market.

Further to add there are certain PC requirements which needs to be met, the same can be found in the below link.
