Its 8.5-megapixel sensor captures sharp images with accurate colors, even in dynamic lighting, so participants appear naturally lifelike on every screen. This level of quality is ideal for boardroom presentations, remote collaboration, and high-stakes meetings where every facial cue matters.

The expansive field of view helps create a more inclusive meeting experience, ensuring latecomers or distant teammates are still visible, while minimizing awkward framing or crop-outs during discussions.
• Voice-tracking technology powers automatic framing that follows the speaker as they talk, keeping the focus on the person communicating and ensuring critical moments aren’t missed. This intelligent feature is especially valuable in panels, Q&A sessions, and brainstorming gatherings where movement and rapid topic shifts are common, allowing attendees to stay engaged without fiddling with the camera.
• USB 3.0 connectivity enables fast, reliable data transfer to your computer or meeting room system, delivering consistent video and audio performance with broad compatibility. Plug-and-play operation means fewer setup steps and quicker starts for daily stand-ups, client calls, and hybrid meetings across platforms like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Cisco Webex.
