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 Business & Distance Learning

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.

Muy útil para las conferencias

buen producto

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.

La cámara pasando pocos minutos de caliente demasiado, incluso quema al tocar y poco tiempo después se apaga. La tuvimos que devolver.
