EMEETMeeting Capsule (Gen 2), 360° 4K Capture, 1080p AI Video Conference Camera, AI Voice/Face/Figure Tracking, 8 Noise-Cancelling Mics, 10W Hi-Fi Speaker, Plug & Play, for up to 10 People

I got this for use with my home owners board and a few social groups. California law allows remote attendance at meeting if everyone can speak and be heard. The Capsule make this happen easily. The Capsule will allow increased participation in meetings.The Capsule lets us continue with the best of the remote meetings we endured the last two years. It has built in privacy modes that allow use without camera and mic, or just no camera with the mic on. Camera is clear in room lighting. Comes with tilt, zoom and screen adjustments get best video images.Its well-built, heavy enough for stability, light enough for transport. AC and USB cables sturdy and long. Too bad the shipping box didn’t come with handles. Maybe they’ll market a carrying case.The Capsule functions as a webcam. So any participant can use it. Nice to be able to assign it to a deputy. Using the Remote allows Host to set up 2nd computer for full room view. The Status lights on the front are informative and point to primary video direction.Speaker is loud and clear enough for a 20x60 foot room Mics tested well at 8 feet.Remote allows full control of Capsule. Video modes, volume and all. Great having ability to mute mic or turn off mic and camera. Controls on the Capsule body are useful when its nearby but the remote provides more freedom.Video modes. Camera follows voices to highlight speakers in Collaboration and Speech modes. Zoom works well in Classic view. Spotlight view is a nice homage to old style cameras.Looking forward to learning all of Capsule’s abilities. I suspect hidden powers in the multiple video modes. The differences in collaborative and speech mode are subtle. Very fast to adjust to change of speakers.I use it with an MacBookPro. Requires pc or laptop. Zoom easily recognized Capsule as media device option. I mainly use Zoom thus t-shirt of the day. I am not employed by or speak for Zoom. Looking forward to trying the Capsule with other conferencing apps.Pictures show a collaborative view with two other people speaking, one person below table and room. Room pic shows board table with Capsule in the middle of directors table and audience area that will hear the Capsule.

I use the EMEET Capsule weekly for a hybrid small group discussion I host. The sound quality is excellent, which is more important than the video. The video is okay. I like the different modes (180, 360, zoom) and I can adjust them according to my need. The sounds works best in the center of the conversation, so many times I have to choose 360 instead of 180, which I prefer for video. The sound has challenges in a larger room/meeting. I got the extension speaker with the daisy chain 5-meter cable, but I only tried it once and it didn't work great. I have to use it a bit more. This device is definitely better than the competition and a more economical. It's easy to use as it connects and works without having to download software or apps.

I do a lot of conference calls, about 70% of the time. So I need a very good device. I decided to give this a try. I used eMeet webcams before and was pleased with it. It has been several days I have been using this new device heavily. Here's my review:Physical - It's cylinder shaped device, similar to tall Alexa devices. The height is about the same as smartwater bottle but slightly wider. The camera is on top. It is motorized, so depending on the button you press on the side, the camera will rotate. Overall quality is good, feels solid on hand and looks very nice. It is standard grayish, so it blends in nicely. On the back, there's the USB-C connector and power. In front there are light indicators. When muted, they turn red. The camera can be front facing, or 360 degree view.Speaker / Mic - Since this is a conference device, these are obviously important. First, it is a conference device after all. It is not a replacement speaker. Therefore the volume is good enough for conference purposes and light music listening. It won't shake your room! The mics are sensitive and pretty good. Other participants could hear me loud and clear.Camera - The camera is also fluid, no stuttering. After playing with few modes of operations, I'm sticking to front view so others can see me clearly. You can also use the 360 degree view but I was not a big fan of that. Then again it's good to have options to try. Make sure to use the button on the side to adjust camera rather than forcing it. You might damage the motor.Final thoughts - I used very good webcams in the past but struggled with microphone. So I had to get another good quality microphone separately. So this new A-I-O device is a nice replacement that removes clutter. So far so good, very happy. I'd highly recommend if you're shopping for a great quality conference device. Remember to use eMeet software and upgrade the firmware.
