I think there is a vacuum in this market for good products.
The Facebook portal is excellent and has basically no competition anywhere close to its price, but it requires use of Facebook (or Whatsapp).
I just want a decent camera/mic set up to attach to computer that's connected to my TV and all of the options are extremely expensive and thoroughly mediocre . I ended up getting the Logitech Meetup which required the proprietary expansion mic to work well enough in a relatively small room and was over one thousand dollars. The 'right sight' software still doesn't work.
The Zoom product is also a miss to me, I just want a decent room scale mic and camera to attach to a TV and use for videoconferencing. The Portal includes computing hardware and software to make calls, but really that's a bonus. The MeetUp is just a dumb camera/mic that requires a computer (which for me is perfect, I can use any video conferencing application that I want), the non-portal products that include compute hardware are usually around two thousand dollars.
At least this is more reasonable priced.

- fossuser 6y agoThe USB webcams suck though, I want a better quality camera and mic for the entire room.
- dogma1138 6y agoBuy a better webcam, Logitech BCC950 works on my Sony A1, for mic you can use any BT/wireless USB microphone if the one on the webcam doesn’t work well enough in your room. Konftel cameras also work, just limit yourself to 1080p unless your TV has USB 3.0.
