We hold our condo board meetings as hybrid, in person and online. Easy plug and play plus a good app if you want to play around with it some more. The board sit at a round table and this camera sits in the middle and catches everyone perfectly and makes it look as though they are sitting in line. It is very easy to change the picture to different display options such as one frame showing everyone in line and another frame focused just on the speaker. Some reviews have criticized picture quality but firstly, it is just fine for meetings etc and secondly, for the price it’s really good. Put it this way, the picture quality is better than the built in camera in my laptop. This was a great buy for us.

With other 360° webcams running over $1000, this is a brilliant package for just $200. Not the best picture quality but good enough. Bear in mind that the position of the 360° camera means that you’ll see more ceiling than waist.

Deze webcam werkt beter dan verwacht. Daadwerkelijk volledig beeld rondom en scherp beeld. Usb kabel er in en direct werken. Daar hou ik van.

This is really the only budget 360 degree camera on the market right now. This one is under $100, next option is I think $500. The Owl is “the one” and the latest model is $1000+. So given the cost, I did get an actual, functional 360 degree camera with several different modes. It didn’t quite work for me but I’d recommend trying it out.
The Goods.
It’s plug and play. No special drivers or any BS. Plug it in and go.
The mic seemed to be on par with the logitech that I normally use, others told me the sound was good. I’m happy with the mic.
I liked the modes. You can do a full wrap around or two 180’s. There is a mode that focuses on the presenter and shows a wrap around, and another for two presenters, and it’s very easy to select where your presenters are sitting. And you can set it as a forward facing camera.
The bads.
Camera isn’t good. It looks like 720p. I don’t consider myself to be picky, but it’s sub par enough that it’s not really professional.
I would have overlooked that but it just didn’t quite fit my application. I think this would work well for a group sitting around a single table. I used it for a 16 person group sitting at tables in a large U shape with the camera on a table in the middle. It picked up the people at the “front” just great. However, the people on the side were just heads, the angle goofy enough that we chose to not use the 360 modes, which was the whole reason I bought it.
Watch the price. It’s $100 right now. I bought bit for $80 days ago. I feel like I’ve seen it for $60 something.
I’ll be returning it, but I’d recommend giving it a go.

Habe einige Webcams getestet. Und wer an einem Tisch mit Personen ringsherum eine Konferenz übertragen möchte ist mit dieser einfach zu bedienenden 360° Cam sehr gut dabei.
Leider konnte ich nicht alles behalten, ansonsten hätte ich es getan.
Eine Funktion hätte ich mir noch gewünscht. Auf 180° umschalten zu können. Wenn ihr das noch schaft, dann wär diese Cam noch flexibler im Einsatz. Bisher geht 360° oder einzel und zweier Ansicht.
Zur Verarbeitung muss ich sagen: sehr gut und robust im Eindruck und in der Hand.
Einen Verbesserungsvorschlag hätte ich noch: einen etwas in der Höhe verstellbarer Fuß wäre wirklich hilfreich. Auch als Zubehör denkbar.

We normally use an Owl which is around $1000. While this isn’t on the same league, it’s come really close to the Owl. The resolution isn’t the same but it does a decent job for the money with the 360 view and the side by side views of the speaker. Note, the rating reflects value for money. Not a head on comparison with the Owl.

Great — I have used the Meeting Owl and this probably doesn’t have quite the video quality but its no slouch either. Good white balance. I tried this thing outside to test the video quality because it was dark in my house, and apparently the noise canceling technology was muting me in certain places around the 360 degree circle. I hooked up my Blue Yeti mic and this too was canceling some audio but remains an option if ever I run into the situation where there is so much background noise in the surroundings that it will not record well. But indoors the audio is great! It seems to have a pattern of pickup of the microphone that is elongated, perfect for a meeting table. But even the weaker axis of the mic you can be heard 15 feet away if you speak up. Arrange your conference table with the louder people at the ends of the table and face the camera with the mic toward the long ends of the table. (Microphone seems to pick up better at the sides than directly facing it) As far as how it compares to the Meeting Owl (which costs 10X as much!) for features, it does not have a speaker. Big deal bring your own speaker along and plug it into your laptop! The cord is 10′ long so your laptop can be out of the way BTW. And this camera does not have a feature that automatically locates and “zooms” in to the person speaking around the table. You can however use the locator bar on top — just tap it to get the camera to crop to that person you “aim” it to, and the response is instantaneous (whereas the Meeting Owl takes a few seconds to travel over to the person speaking). A feature that is QUITE awesome that the Meeting Owl does not have is the ability to choose your mode. You can actually use this as a regular old webcam and choose between a 90 and a 120 degree angle of view. Love this.
Overall I am quite pleased with this thing. I am recommending it to our staff as we are all now involved in hybrid meetings of in-person and overseas participants. Without this device we won’t be keeping the overseas people involved…people have zoom fatigue and they are not going to put up with no decent video and poor sound quality. I can see how the feature with the Meeting Owl of not needing a computer being rather appealing but the 10 foot cord that comes with this addresses that if you don’t want your laptop on the table.
I mounted this on a tripod. there is a metal tripod mount machined out of chromed steel! Pretty impressive. With that feature you could use this in a circle of chairs. I expect this is going to be very useful for face to face meetings where you want it more personal / less formal to get discussion rolling etc.
I hope this review helps. This camera might not give quite the impression a Meeting Owl will if you are doing a business proposal for a job with lots of capitol at stake. But its more than adequate for adding an in person touch to zoom meetings.
ADDED COMMENT 5/10/2021 this camera is probably best in a brightly lit small to midsized room with people at a 2-4 foot distance from the camera, if you want faces to be a decent recognizable size on the Zoom app. At 6 feet away individuals get to be rather smaller. Mic pickup is decent I think no matter

Excellent webcam. The 360 degree mode works very well. Can’t fault it. Just plug it in and go.

I was really excited about the 360 view, but when I saw what we looked like on the TV, I was extremely disappointed. The camera looks like an older model cellphone. The sound quality is decent. Is this the best camera for a conference room? Probably not. Is the the most frugal camera for a conference room that will get the job done? Yes.

I like the idea of this camera but the is execution poor. Camera quality for the 360 camera is terrible. Very blurry picture for everyone except the host. Some of the other functions (ie switch camera views) was a little challenging to navigate. Overall very disappointed.

Brilliant item. Makes office meetings so much easier
