By comparing sound from multiple microphones, systems can get a cleaner sound from people in different places in the room. Even all-in-one devices can use an array of internal microphones to identify where to point their camera. Do note, that some conference webcams expect you to use a separate microphone and speaker unit. This all-in-one unit serves as a replacement for a traditional conference room setup involving a device, a camera, and a screen. Instead of everyone looking at a screen at one end of the meeting table and ignoring each other, the two tiltable monitors on either side of the main speaker keep everything central.

You can keep your apps up-to-date via 802.11ac wi-fi or Ethernet and even attach peripherals via USB. The Meeting Pro will act as speaker and microphone, and sports echo and noise cancellation to keep your call clear.This meeting camera has a built-in operating system based on Android, which can be very useful in simplifying the meeting process. It’s possible your colleagues might find the knowledge that there is 64Gb onboard recording space a little unsettling, but the ‘stop’ button is easy to find. The machine’s eight microphones help it do a good job of identifying the active speaker for the 1080p video output. The camera crunches through 8K worth of input from both cameras, which helps people look their best, with less distortion correction than many other conference room webcams. Depending on the kind of meeting you're planning, you need to decide how wide a field of view you want your camera to have. Something with a 180-degree perspective, such as the Panacast (number 3 on our list), is similar to placing a laptop at the end of a table. A 360-degree device like the Meeting Owl or Coolpo AI, however, can sit in the middle of a huddle, and let the remote guest feel like a part of the action. Microphone Type: digital MEMS microphones with 72 dB SNR and 130 dB AOP, dirt and water resistant to IP57 spec

Beamforming Elements: 7 omnidirectional digital MEMS microphones forming six adaptive acoustic endfire beamsNot every conference takes place in a huge conference room. If you're in a smaller space, Logitech’s BCC950 provides a good quality webcam and speakerphone base with the option to position the electronic eye that bit higher, if needed, by inserting the included extension pole. Audio quality is indisputable, and comfortably in excess of the standard many experiences from laptop speakers and microphones during impromptu conferences. It’s nice to know an extra microphone can be added, but we don’t imagine it's needed often. A patent-pending suspension system decouples the speaker module within the external enclosure, virtually eliminating the vibrations that can travel through walls, stands, and tables. This improves the echo cancelling performance of Rally Mic Pods, while ensuring that video images remain clear and steady, even at high volume levels and when zoomed in.
