Jabra PanaCast – Intelligent 180° Panoramic-4K Huddle Room Video Camera – Inclusive Video Conferencing Camera with Full Room Coverage, Easy to Set-Up Wide Angle Webcam for Streaming

Love the auto centering feature and quality of its microphone

Great voice and video quality.May need some tweaking on the set-up APP but overall it works well with some work.We purchased two and really like both. Will add more in the near future.

This is the mother of all conference room cameras. If you are trying to avoid the “pinhead“ problem with teleconferences where you got a wide angle conference and camera to fit everyone in but can’t see any of their faces, this is the camera for you. It is “plug and play“ with most common teleconferencing apps and was recognized immediately as an external USB camera on my iMac. It defaults to “panorama mode“ where the input from each of the three cameras on the front of the device are seamlessly find it together to give you a uninterrupted view of the room in front. This works best when it is placed on a small tripod at face level for all of the participants.The camera quality is good enough that you can clearly make out a facial features/expressions of all of those participating, a welcome change from most webcams in this conference room setting. I was also unable to get the iMac to recognize the Jabra as an external microphone, but again, this was not a real negative as I already had an external microphone and was mainly looking for the camera features of this device.Using the Jabra app gives you several additional options such as “zooming in“ to narrow the field of view a little bit. I did not have much luck with the “intelligent zoom“ feature which supposedly will focusing on the face of the person speaking. My issue with this was that it was human, but with such a delay that it would often miss the person speaking. Despite the fact that this feature does not work so well, the high-resolution panoramic view that you can get from this camera is really second to none for teleconferencing and I highly recommend it.

As described.

The picture quality of this product is great and there are other options available as well instead of just video capabilities.This product does get very hot while you have it plugged into a USB port. Not sure if that is normal or not as I have not reached out to the manufacturer yet. Overall it was a good purchase

The camera is an adequate solution for a very wide angle. We have a long narrow conference room with a large display in the middle of the room. The camera placed under the display is able to get the entire table. No other camera worked. However, the picture quality is not very good and the camera picture intermittently freezes requiring unplugging the camera. We continue to use the camera because it works and we can live with the poor quality and the hassle of having to unplug and replug the camera in the middle of a Zoom meeting. Also we were unable to get the microphone to work in Windows 10. Tried a dozen other webcams and never had issues with the mic. By the way it takes 10 minutes to enable or disable the microphone because the camera has to download and reinstall the firmware.UPDATE: The freezing issue has gotten much worse and unplugging the camera doesn't always fix it right away. The camera is only a few months old and gets very little use.UPDATE2: I replaced the USB-C cable with a higher quality version and the camera does not crash as frequently. I noticed the camera tends to run very hot considering it is in a dark air-conditioned room and it is secured to a tripod away from anything that gives off heat.

This is a very compact rugged camera that is easy to set up and use. It requires a mini tripod or stand for desktops or a standard tripod depending upon use and placement. The auto zoom detection picks up people from the overall 180 degree view and is really nice vs the typical laptop camera that a small group has to crowd around.The resolution does not stay 4K as you zoom in with a single camera element so a farther shot from the camera to the subject becomes less sharp as the camera zooms in. Resolution is great on all three cameras, very good with two and just average on a single camera.Unit runs very warm to the touch and the microphone is quite good.

It is small and barely noticeable. I have one on the little stand made for it in our Board Room so we can live stream Board Meetings straight out of FB Live. I set it to a fixed 140 degree panoramic view that covers the entire Board and the podium. While the built-in microphone works well, I do not use it. I have the audio feed from the pa system plugging into the live feed so I get really good sound. Everyone than needs to be on the audio has a microphone, so that works well. I used it about 1 year and then it went out. I ordered another and checked online at the Jabra support page. They honored a replacement under warranty, so now I have a spare.
