My only wish is that they would make a version of it with expansion microphones. Some of our more...err... image conscious users wish for a stand so that the camera didn't look up at them, but whatever.
These are great for meeting in smaller rooms for upto 12 or so people. It actually holds up better than expected in larger conference rooms, but sound and picture quality degrade. It's all about the placement of people around the OWL and their proximity to the OWL. The larger the room, the further people will be spaced from the OWL, so naturally you'd have diminishing returns. I think optimally people should be maybe 8-10ft max from the OWL.
I love that this is a self contained unit that does all the thinking - no special drivers needed. So far it has been truly plug and play. Plug it in and not only does the system automatically recognize it, but Zoom will usually select it automatically as the default for cam/mic/speaker. We've only had to enter into the system settings once or twice to force it to recognized and used as the default.
Folks at the remote end love that this tracks the speaker. They can see who is talking as well a panorama of the entire group - at the same time.
CONS:
Cost: at $800 it was not an easy decision to make the first time around. After working with one for a while I am sold on how well it works, but still steep at $800.
Mics: Not really a CON but more of a wish-list item. For larger rooms it is the speaker and mics that degrade faster than the cam. It would be great if this could work with external mics and speakers. I could then set up my wireless conference mics/speakers around the room and let the OWL handle the cam. The cam still holds up pretty well in larger spaces - better than the single POV cams. Folks really like being able to see everyone in the room with the inside-the-circle 360 view. However, as it is the OWL is dependent on the internal mics to track the direction of the current speaker. I haven't actually tested external mics/speakers with the OWL, but I suspect that it would work just fine, but just not be able to track the speaker. Worst case scenario might be that the CAM would bounce around trying to figure out who to focus on. I'll get a chance to test this out at some point.
Item Reviewed: Meeting Owl 360 Degree Video Conference Camera
Just as a FYI we use this with ZOOM and they integrate together with no problems.
The audio quality is fair enough to listen to people during the meeting but we were expecting very good recording quality for speech recognition. This is not the case.
Top reviews from other countries
The panoramic view is a really neat idea and makes the viewer feel like they're in the room.
We tried it in the middle of the table and also at one end of a long table and both reportedly had good sound and visual, so all-in-all, great product, probably a good price, head-ache free (finally!), and simple, cool tech.
Let me explain what makes it so significant. For one million years or so, humans have met by sitting round something in a circle. It might be a fire or it might be a boardroom or restaurant table. But a circle is the natural format for a meeting. Sitting in rows as though you are on a bus is hence not a natural format for any meeting, which explains why videoconferencing often feels kind of weird.
The owl, by contrast, by sitting in the *middle* of the table, allows any number of people at remote locations to attend a meeting as though they were present in person - without disrupting the normal format of the meeting as most v/c equipment does. Its party trick is that, using an array of direction microphones, it automatically zooms in on whoever is speaking at the time: it does this pretty quickly. Cleverer still, if two or three people around the table are engaged in rapid dialogue, it creates a split screen image (like an early episode of 24) to show all of them - ingeniously splitting the picture into two (see image) or three.
It works best for groups between two and eight - though ten would work at a pinch. Attending such a meeting remotely (via Zoom, Bluejeans, etc) is about 80% as good as attending in person. By contrast, my previous efforts have ranged between 50% and utter disaster.
It pretty much works straight out of the box. Moreover you won't need to call someone from IT to make it work. Anyone with a laptop can get it working in a couple of minutes. So far everyone who has either attended an Owl meeting - or, more important, joined an Owl meeting from elsewhere - has been dumbstruck by how good it is.
Is it expensive. Yes. But compared to what? Compared to a transatlantic air ticket,not really.
A seemingly trivial but vital point. Its cute appearance and quirky name mean that it is memorable, distinctive and fun. For any IT equipment buyers watching, this means that normally conservative end-users will remember to use it without being bullied. You can imagine staff asking to use an owl much more readily than they would request a Procomm 407b or whatever.
* If you want a carrying case, just buy a SAFROTTO Lens Case Lens Pouch for TAMRON 150-600mm Lens . It's a case for a paparazzo's camera lens, but it fits the owl very well.
