Choosing the right audio and camera peripherals makes a huge difference to quality

The most common cause of poor experiences for everyone in the meeting is someone using an older web cam or not using either earphones, a headset or an echo cancelling speakerphone.

The information below is for individuals or small groups. Large room audio visual integrations require a separate quotation.

Video

In-built cameras are getting better and the MAC ones work the best but the performance and optics of the new HD (720p) Logitech Webcam (not Quickcam) Pro 9000 web cams makes a huge difference.

The camera must have auto-focus, especially for groups of more than one.

The cameras let you videoconference in high definition* and we strongly recommend using one of these.

Audio

For individuals a combination of earphones and the Logitech camera mic works fine unless it’s a noisy environment in which case a USB headset and in-built mic is the best option.

For small groups (up to 6 people in front of the speaker) the Clear One Chat 50 speakerphone we have found works the best.

For larger groups a single or daisy chained Phoenix Audio Quattro speakerphone is a good solution.

Large conference rooms and auditorium need specifying on a case by case basis.
