EMEETMeeting Capsule (Gen 2), 360° 4K Capture, 1080p AI Video Conference Camera, AI Voice/Face/Figure Tracking, 8 Noise-Cancelling Mics, 10W Hi-Fi Speaker, Plug & Play, for up to 10 People

I got this for use with my home owners board and a few social groups. California law allows remote attendance at meeting if everyone can speak and be heard. The Capsule make this happen easily. The Capsule will allow increased participation in meetings.The Capsule lets us continue with the best of the remote meetings we endured the last two years. It has built in privacy modes that allow use without camera and mic, or just no camera with the mic on. Camera is clear in room lighting. Comes with tilt, zoom and screen adjustments get best video images.Its well-built, heavy enough for stability, light enough for transport. AC and USB cables sturdy and long. Too bad the shipping box didn’t come with handles. Maybe they’ll market a carrying case.The Capsule functions as a webcam. So any participant can use it. Nice to be able to assign it to a deputy. Using the Remote allows Host to set up 2nd computer for full room view. The Status lights on the front are informative and point to primary video direction.Speaker is loud and clear enough for a 20x60 foot room Mics tested well at 8 feet.Remote allows full control of Capsule. Video modes, volume and all. Great having ability to mute mic or turn off mic and camera. Controls on the Capsule body are useful when its nearby but the remote provides more freedom.Video modes. Camera follows voices to highlight speakers in Collaboration and Speech modes. Zoom works well in Classic view. Spotlight view is a nice homage to old style cameras.Looking forward to learning all of Capsule’s abilities. I suspect hidden powers in the multiple video modes. The differences in collaborative and speech mode are subtle. Very fast to adjust to change of speakers.I use it with an MacBookPro. Requires pc or laptop. Zoom easily recognized Capsule as media device option. I mainly use Zoom thus t-shirt of the day. I am not employed by or speak for Zoom. Looking forward to trying the Capsule with other conferencing apps.Pictures show a collaborative view with two other people speaking, one person below table and room. Room pic shows board table with Capsule in the middle of directors table and audience area that will hear the Capsule.

I use the EMEET Capsule weekly for a hybrid small group discussion I host. The sound quality is excellent, which is more important than the video. The video is okay. I like the different modes (180, 360, zoom) and I can adjust them according to my need. The sounds works best in the center of the conversation, so many times I have to choose 360 instead of 180, which I prefer for video. The sound has challenges in a larger room/meeting. I got the extension speaker with the daisy chain 5-meter cable, but I only tried it once and it didn't work great. I have to use it a bit more. This device is definitely better than the competition and a more economical. It's easy to use as it connects and works without having to download software or apps.

I am currently evaluating conference room audio/video devices to accomodate hybrid meetings and I just ran across this newly released Emeet "Meeting Capsule". Being a customer of many Emeet products including conference phones and desktop cameras, I was very happy to see an entry into this market segment. It does not disappoint!It's a tracking-by-audio camera with shape recognition to zoom in on active speaker. The camera is selectable 60, 180, 360 degree panoramic fish-eye view. For conference table work, this is a superior solution, as the camera head does not distractingly move. The tradeoff with the fish-eye picture is not an issue.Where this device really shines is the audio. It is loud and clear - perfect for a mid-sized classroom. Mic gain is good to about 15 feet and falls off to fair by 20 feet. The camera does track while walking at the front of a classroom, and also has the panoramic view.This has both a hand-held remote and PC/Mac control program, so no trying to juggle OSD controls. The on-device buttons are for AV mute and scene choice as well.This is a well-designed and engineered package, typical of Emeet. LEDs give device status, the camera physically flips to indicate scene choice, works flawlessly with multiple video conference programs and other camera/audio programs. They even include a USB-C to USB adapter for newer laptops. My only recommendation so far is that the power block is large, and may need a power strip to plug into a tabletop AV box outlet, the same as many laptops.I'm including pictures of the device on a classroom podium, and also two pictures of large scale projectors, roughly 2m x 3m.
