How to choose video conferencing kit

Start with the room size

Huddle and small rooms often need only an all-in-one USB video bar such as the Logitech MeetUp or Poly Studio R30. Medium and large rooms usually need a room kit with a separate camera, more microphones and a touch controller.

Check the camera's field of view

A wider field of view keeps everyone in shot at a short table. The Meeting Owl 3 sits in the centre and gives a 360-degree view. Auto-tracking cameras such as the Poly Studio E70 frame the people speaking in larger rooms.

USB device or room system

USB cameras and video bars plug into a laptop or room computer and use its meeting app. Room systems such as the Cisco Room Kit Mini, Lenovo ThinkSmart Core or Poly MTR PC run the meeting in the room and are controlled from a touch panel.

Match the meeting platform

Many products come in a version certified for Microsoft Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms or both. Check the product title, for example the Poly Trio C60 Teams, and confirm which platform the room will use before you choose.

Extend microphone pickup

Long tables may need expansion microphones. This range includes the Owl Labs Expansion Mic for the Meeting Owl 3, Cisco table microphones and Logitech Rally Mic Pod mounts. Check that the microphone is made for your camera or room kit.

Questions

Is this video conferencing kit new or used?

Everything in this range is new. If you need used or refurbished systems, such as Polycom HDX, Tandberg or Cisco TelePresence units, see our used video conferencing equipment. That page also covers spare parts for older systems.

What do I need for a Microsoft Teams or Zoom meeting room?

You need a camera, microphones, speakers, a display and a device that runs the meeting app. In a small room this can be a USB video bar connected to a laptop. Larger rooms usually use a room kit with its own computer, such as the Lenovo ThinkSmart Core or a Poly MTR PC, plus a touch controller.

What is the difference between a USB video bar and a room kit?

A USB video bar such as the Poly Studio R30 runs from a computer, and a room kit includes its own computer or codec. Video bars suit huddle and small rooms. Room kits suit medium and large rooms that need a separate camera, more microphones and a touch controller.

Can I add microphones to a meeting room camera?

Yes, on systems that support expansion microphones. The Meeting Owl 3 accepts the Owl Labs Expansion Mic, and Cisco table microphones connect to supported Cisco room kits such as the Room Kit Plus. If you are unsure, ask through our quote request page.
