• Any Easy Install Dual Linked Cameras?

  Https://owllabs.com/products/meeting-owl-3 - something like that might be what you’re looking for but it’s a video conferencing solution. I have never seen a multi cam product that comes w a built in hub/automated switching unit. Especially if you’re trying to use external mics. How’s the system to know which area is currently speaking? Source: 5 months ago

• Help. Extra long conference room setup

  Owl Cam. I have a similar table size with 9 very large chairs on the sides and 2 on the ends. Source: about 1 year ago

• Is there an affordable alternative to Google Meet hardware?

  Meeting Owl is pretty cool....does 360 video, and mic/audio.... Source: about 1 year ago

• Technology for Hybrid Meetings for Worship

  What you describe is more likely an internet speed or WiFi issue than an equipment issue. WiFi access point needs to be in the room, and if 50 people have their phones connected to the same WiFi, you’re going to need more bandwidth. From a tech point of view, lots of meetings are buying owls - https://owllabs.com/products/meeting-owl-3. Source: over 1 year ago

• An inexpensive webcam solution for a meeting room

  Since you said 'inexpensive', I'm guessing an Owl is out of the question? Source: over 1 year ago

• Looking for a good Teleconference system

  So, that actually really easy. No software is going to magically make a camera or mic. You are going to need an external mic/camera. We use something called the owl. It can really be anything though. Next, you need software to run it....zoom rooms is the obvious choice that I've been preaching. Source: over 1 year ago

• 'interactive' hybrid teaching

  I went to a meeting with one of these recently and it worked really well for the remote participants. There were some weird moments where it would keep zooming in on whomever finished talking until someone else piped up but those were infrequent. I imagine you could plop one down in the front row on a pile of books and get pretty good performance. You just had to plug it in to a computer and set the camera and mic... Source: over 1 year ago

• Name for Meeting Owl

  Meeting Owl: As some of you know, we are testing out a new technology for hybrid meetings – the Meeting Owl. It sits in the middle of a meeting room such as our board room with a 360-degree camera and microphone, shifting its perspective from one speaker to another to allow virtual attendees much better engagement for a large space. It looks very much like a real owl and if it works out, I’m... Source: almost 2 years ago

• Ask HN: What's your recommended video conference room setup?

  I've tried a lot of different approaches over the years: Mac mini with a wireless keyboard/trackpad connected to a TV, wireless speakerphone (e.g. Jabra), Chromecast... We're currently using smart TVs that has AirPlay support. I'm not a fan. I'm leaning towards reverting back to a "dumb" TV with an Owl [1] and a Mac mini.

  These cameras (built-in mics also) work surprisingly well. https://owllabs.com/products/meeting-owl-pro. Source: over 2 years ago

• Best videoconference hardware for small (6-person) conference rooms?

  Now that my team has given up on using the Meeting Owl for our small, 6-person conference room, I am looking at a more traditional videoconference camera / speaker combination. Is there any consensus on what would be the easiest-to-use, small-room videoconference equipment for Teams & Zoom? (we use both about equally, Teams a little more perhaps). Source: over 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Why doesn’t Apple make a standalone camera?

  A dedicated camera product based on smartphone parts is https://owllabs.com/products/meeting-owl-pro It is based on a fisheye lens, a sensor with an outrageous number of megapixels, and an SoC that can "digital zoom" on individual meeting participants. Circa 2004 I sketched a design for something similar that could image a whole room (and would have used a curved mirror instead of a fisheye lens), but I estimated... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• 5 tips for fostering company culture when some people are in office and some WFH

  These are all great tips. Another tip for "remote first" meetings is to make sure you have good equipment in the meeting rooms - I'm partial to Owls - and to also make sure remote people are given a chance to speak. It's harder to assert yourself over the phone when there are other people in the room. Source: over 2 years ago

• Kandao Meeting Pro vs Owl Meeting Pro for hybrid classroom teaching

  Hello everyone, for my upcoming hybrid teaching (students attending in classroom and virtually via Zoom) I hesitate between the Kandao Meeting Pro (launched more recently, cheaper, more connectivity) and the Owl Meeting Pro (more well documented online on youtube etc). Source: over 2 years ago

• Auto tracking by mic signal

  How big are the city council chambers? I might be under-thinking it a bit, but how about something like the "Meeting Owl Pro"? It sounds like what your end users are thinking of. It was actually above the budget for a conference room build I had worked on, but it might work in your case. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Has anyone had success with hybrid in-person and online tables? What made it work for you?

  For example the meeting owl could be placed in on a table and has a camera that automatically focuses on on who is talking. It also costs a small fortune. You can probably get a used on off ebay from some business that is closing for less than $1,000. Source: almost 3 years ago
