Meeting Owl Pro US Edition - 360 Degree, 1080p Smart Video Conference Camera, Microphone, and Speaker (Automatic Speaker Focus & Smart Meeting Room Enabled)

Product Information

The video, too, is well presented (we like the white edges and curved corners in the conference modes), though it has to be said we’d have preferred more detail in faces from the 360˚ mode. Sadly physics seems not to be a friend when the camera is pointing up, though the software does a decent job and the AI kept the right people on camera with a latency of only a second or so. The study found that the device could accurately capture small gestures and interactions among participants, allowing for a better understanding of the conversation and enabling productive discussions. Owl Bar also pairs with other Owl Labs products, including Whiteboard Owl and expansion microphones.

No longer will there be hours-long meetings with time wasted on miscommunication or people not being heard – smart zooming is here to stay! Noise Equalizing Degree Camera System: The Owl Video Conferencing System comes with a 360-degree camera that allows you to see every participant in the meeting room. The camera provides a panoramic view, which is ideal for large meetings, presentations, and brainstorming sessions. The camera has a wide-angle lens that captures the entire room, and digital zoom enables you to zoom in on specific participants. With its 4K ultra HD camera, AI-enabled zooming feature, dynamic noise cancellation, and advanced analytics, the Owl 3 is an excellent choice for anyone looking for an effective way to stay connected with their team.The meeting analytics function should prove useful for IT managers wanting to monitor the usage of meeting rooms -- so long as people don't move the Owls between rooms too much. Hopefully this data will be available via the Android app as well on iPhones and iPads before too long. Next, connect the camera to the power source using the power adapter and USB cable provided. Once the camera is connected, it should turn on automatically. Support for various platforms: Meeting OWL 3 is compatible with various media, enabling you to host meetings on your chosen venue- Skype, Zoom, or Webex.

Owl Labs also launched Owl Connect, which uses a built-in Wi-Fi radio to enable users to pair multiple devices to support hybrid meetings in larger rooms by better capturing people in the room and extending microphone and speaker coverage, Makeev said. This improves the hybrid employee experience as remote employees can better see and hear in-room participants, he said. The Owl Camera is produced by Owl Labs, a company that is dedicated to improving remote work and virtual meetings. The company has gained a reputation for producing innovative and high-quality video collaboration products that make remote work and virtual meetings more productive and efficient. This ensures each person’s video feed is seen equally, giving everyone a sense of equal inclusion. Furthermore, Smart Zooming allows meeting participants to collaborate naturally in an efficient and organized setting. When you’re choosing the best conference room webcam, many seem to capture relatively high resolutions. This is because they have several cameras or unusual lenses with large image sensors, but the image is cropped to fit a standard video shape. So it's best to think of the output resolution: what people will actually see. 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.

Conclusions

In short, the Meeting OWL 3 is worth it if you’re looking for an advanced device to improve your remote meetings. The Owl has an eight-microphone array to capture 360-degree wideband audio within a 3.6m (12 foot) range with acoustic echo cancellation. The 360-degree speaker outputs at 90 dB SPL. Operation and user experience The Owl Intelligence System does a fantastic job of instantly changing focus from one speaker to the next. It will even automatically make minor adjustments to camera angle if one person is taller than the other. Like Zoom, it will switch from speaker to speaker, but the Owl Pro does so in a much more user-friendly way as it will frame the new speaker separately from the rest of the group. It will make you wonder how many cameras are there inside the unit. The Meeting Owl Pro individually frames out different speakers and even provides a 360-degree panoramic view of the entire room and individuals participating in the meeting. It is a fantastic feature that makes video conferencing more inclusive. Bottom Line

The dynamic zooming feature also allowed us to see each other more clearly, leading to improved collaboration and productive discussions. Meeting OWL 3 has been a fantastic addition to the virtual meeting world. I recently had the chance to use this device for a remote meeting, and I was pleasantly surprised with the results. 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. Not to mention, clear surround sound from its built-in speaker allows for great audio accompaniment! The Owl Camera is designed to be used in a variety of settings, from small huddle rooms to large conference rooms. It is an excellent tool for remote teams who want to communicate effectively and efficiently, without sacrificing the benefits of face-to-face interactions.

Features

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. The camera’s ability to zoom in on who is speaking also helped reduce distractions from remote workers outside of the main field of view. Improved audio quality and optional extension microphones equip Logitech's latest ConferenceCam to handle large meeting rooms. The study also found that users experienced improved collaboration due to the device’s dynamic zooming feature, which allowed participants to see each other better.

Get the most out of your virtual conference room with this next-generation technological development.
