Making Small-Group Audio and Video Meetings Easy and Affordable

Your boss just challenged you to solve a tough problem by the end of the day, and you need to call a quick meeting between colleagues in three different locations, including two in your own office. A face-to-face meeting would help you collaborate quickly, but unfortunately all the video conference rooms are booked. There’s a webcam plugged into your PC, but it’s not really a great experience when three people huddle around your laptop.  So what do you do?

Enter the Logitech BCC950 ConferenceCam for PC-based audio and video calls, which Logitech for Business is introducing today. The ConferenceCam is the first all-in-one pan, tilt and zoom full HD webcam to combine with a full-duplex omni-directional speakerphone, offering plug-and-play simplicity across almost all videoconferencing applications. The ConferenceCam comes with function keys on the device and on the included remote control for easily controlling a one-on-one or small-group meeting from across the desk or across the room.

Priced at $249.99 in the United States, the ConferenceCam is an affordable solution for quickly and easily starting a meeting anywhere a PC can be hooked up – a private office, a small conference room or even a cafeteria table. With video quality up to 1080p at 30 frames per second, autofocus and a wide field of view – plus a high-quality speakerphone quality with a range of eight feet in all directions – you’re guaranteed a great meeting experience.

Logitech for Business created the ConferenceCam because we see a need created by the rapid adoption of videoconferencing in the workplace. Enterprise videoconferencing grew by 21 percent in 2011 alone, according to IDC, as more businesses reap the benefits of the high-quality face-to-face experience now available with today’s technologies. However, most videoconferencing solutions are either designed for the individual desktop or for large meeting rooms.  The ConferenceCam is intended to fill the gap around small meetings and works with virtually all PC-based unified communications, web conferencing and other software video conferencing technologies.
