TONGVEO 4K 4X Zoomable Webcam for Conference TV Room System with Dual Mics and Speaker, Computer ePTZ Camera with Remote, Wide Angle AI Auto Framing, for Laptop Mac, Video Call, Zoom, Skype

After seeing some truly horrifying prices of well known brands conferencing equipment I opted to give this a try. For reference I have mounted this on top of a 65" display in a boardroom that can seat up to 15 people. I am really impressed with this solution. The microphones are fantastic, they can pick up someone muttering on one of the far seats. To the point I've had to warn participants about trying to have discrete conversations as they will be picked up! The camera quality is great too. It is wide angle so picks up decent angles at either side of it. It can also be zoomed in and panned around so smaller meetings can be captured without having loads of empty space. Setup was very easy, we use Microsoft teams primarily and it was plug and play. Definitely worth a shot, compared to the price of the alternatives!

Will be returning unit, after testing for several reasons. 1 the supplied cable which has a retaining screw is not deep enough to make contact with the pins inside. Simply put it doesn't work. I have substituted with my own cable and it works. This is possibly a manufacturing 1 off but as i was testing this to potentially purchase 400 for a project I'm now very dubious how much this fault repeats. There is a clicking noise on the audio played through the device. Does not occur on my normal speakers I've checked. Tried on another device and same clicking happens. Again, seems to be a number of faults with this unit. There are no batteries for the remote. Its a little thing i agree but as i was considering 400 of these for a project that's 800 additional batteries id have to purchase. Also don't like the fact the unit cant remember the remote settings between video calls that's just poor. Pros are the video is good and the zoom and tracking are sufficient for what i was expecting. Mic pickup is good and clear but there niggling issues are pretty much a deal breaker I'm afraid.

I expected the zoom to be alot better to be honest. Quality is OK but the zoom is very limited.

Only tested at home. Easy to set up connection to TV and laptop for Teams. I intend to use it in a hybrid work meeting and will test it more thoroughly. Update. Now used in office meeting, face to face and virtual. The video was sharp and mic picked up all the voices clearly. Plug and play with smart tv in the room using hdmi.

I got this to replace another unknown make for our meeting room. I had 2 of the previosu one but one of them failed. In fact it had been a little flakey for a while, not being recognised by the mini PC. This provides a really sharp image, even better than the previous one which was pretty good. You can set it to focus on a single person or those in the room if there is more, however, whilst this feature is really cool and it zooms and pans automatically, it does move about if it’s own accord (mostly when the people in the room move slightly), so it can be a bit odd for the other people watching the meeting. Overall, excellent for the price and don’t really know why you would spend hundreds on a known make.

This had several key flaws that make it unusable for me:- 1) when not in use the camera have a bright green light, that can't be turned off. 2) the camera stops the monitor from going into power saver mode (took a long time to realise this. been getting very annoyed at my PC for ignoring the settings. unplugged it and it all started working again. 3) auto frame doesn't really work. still far too zoomed out.

Now that we're finally in the age of virtual/video neetings, this camera is a great upgrade from the all-too-often dreadful built-in webcams in laptops or other devices, improving on essentially every single video, photo and audio feature of built-in solutions. The webcam captures/records at up to 2160p at 30fps, with 105° FOV (field of view/wide viewing angle), and built-in, dual, noise cancelling microphones are a huge improvement over most laptops' built-in microphones, and makes your voice crisp and clear during conference calls and video chatting. The auto framing is good if you have a specific office/workspace/group space where those on camera will typically always be in roughly the same space and distance from the camera, but move about a little bit, as the tracking/framing follows your face around relatively effectively. If you have a low-light environment, you'll want to get some additional light source, and if you cant, then with some tinkering in app-specific settings and lighting arrangements, you can manage a lot of the issues of low/excess light.

It was not quite clear from the product description that this would require some form of CPU and I could not auto install it with a smart TV. I understand it might work with some models - but it was not clear in the description. I have been able to use it by linking to a pc / work around but not quite what I had envisaged. That said, it is now doing what I intended. Picture and Sound are reasonably good for a modest size room.
