360° 4K Video Conference Camera, AI Speaker Tracking, Noise Cancellation, Teams, Zoom, PANA 5ft USB Cable

Great Value and Performance for Remote Teams As the lead of a technology team that mostly engages with our clients remotely, I set out to find a dependable tool to allow our team to connect more naturally. After doing tons of research, I came across the COOLPO 360-degree webcam. It was considerably cheaper than the main brands I had spent most of my time on but I'm happy to report that this device has exceeded my expectations in terms of its quality and value! This webcam offers performance on all platforms. Be it Teams, Zoom, or Google Meet, it seamlessly integrates with them all. Transitioning between my Windows desktop and MacBook Pro is effortless, with quality and performance on both systems. The 360-degree camera, speaker, and microphone work in sync to create an experience that almost feels like being in the room during virtual meetings. It's user-friendly, and intuitive, and has significantly improved our communication. The camera has a built-in microphone and speaker, and both are top quality. The mic picks up conversations with clarity and the speaker has a full-range sound that projects vocals or media perfectly. For those looking to ramp up their conference room tech, this device delivers.

A couple of years ago, as the pandemic wound down, the Quaker church I work for wanted to explore hybrid meeting options so that the remote and in-person communities could worship together. Unlike a "normal" church, in a Quaker meeting, anyone in the room may stand up and speak, so a simple unidirectional camera wouldn't work. During our testing, one of our members happened to have another popular 360-degree camera (you know the one), so we got to test this one alongside its main competitor. Let me tell you: the Coolpo Pana outperformed its more expensive competitor in every way that matters. While the onscreen presentation is not quite as slick and it doesn't make that endearing startup noise, here are all the things it does better: 1) It's faster to pick up and focus on a new audio source 2) It's capable of picking up audio sources further away -- in our large meeting house, even someone speaking in the back of the balcony was picked up and focused on (this is particularly impressive seeing as the balcony is not only distant but on a second story) 3) The color and image was more true-to-life out of the box (and the software makes it easily adjustable for changing light situations) 4) It tolerates our use of external microphones, but still uses its internal mic for visual tracking 5) It's about 2/3 the price In the end, we liked it so much we bought two so we could use one in smaller spaces as well. So if you're perhaps thinking about a 360 camera and your use case is not just a standard office boardroom, this is well worth your time and money (and if your use case _is_ a standard office boardroom, it's also well worth it).

I bought one of these roughly 4 years ago for my HOA management business to use for hybrid meetings. A community manager takes it with them, plugs in the power cord and the USB into their laptop and it works. It hasn't been taken care of as well as it should be, as people just throw it on a car seat or whatever, without it being in a dedicated bag or case, yet it still works great! As some other have noted, sometimes it takes a second or two for it to recognize a person is talking and focusing on them, but most of the time it works flawlessly. We have even used it in large annual meetings with 50+ people in the room, and while it doesn't necessarily zoom in on a person on the 5th row, it does pick up their audio pretty well.

Build quality seems nice. But, plenty room for user experience improvement. One crazy fish-eye camera creates video "hot spots" around our table where people appear exaduratedly bigger or smaller based on proximity. So a rectangle table like we have creates a bit of visual oddity. Multiple cameras would do a better job minimizing this phenomenon. It uses that weird super microUSB from like 2012 that never caught on. Not an issue, but dates the technology a bit. Type-C using Thunderbolt would be more future proof... We also found the software to adjust the CoolPo difficult to download. Won't even run on any Mac lower than Catalina, or some versions of Windows, but we got over that hurdle. Once in conference, it seems the camera's logic software could use work! We have 7 people in the room around a long rectangular table and 4 online. The camera seems to snap-pan between speakers in the room WAY too often, leaving our online people with that seasick feeling! But they got used to it after a while and didn't mind it by the end of our meeting. The mic seems a bit too sensitive as it also would snap-pan to non-speakers occasionally, probably responding to an echo in the room. I wish the software would video face identify people in the room, and then just produce or dismiss speaker 'video bubbles' in the camera stream, rather than panning so frequently to wherever noise is coming from. Bottom line, $600 is still a lot to spend on something that our users found to be a bit of an acquired taste, but I still beleive its the best option right now, especially if CoolPo improves the cameras logic! Also at 50-60% the price of an Owl, it's a pretty compelling price point. I just wonder if the Owl really is $400 better... Hope our experience helps.

This works well and is fairly easy to use. Its only 1080p so the video is poor on large tvs and I could not find how to turn off pano view or manipulate the camera views in any way. The connect was easy though and I did not have any issues with video streaming. It tracked different people well and had good sound quality
