 - How to find the right camera for video conferencing
Which video conferencing camera is right for your company?

There are numerous camera types that are suitable for video conferencing. Depending on the application and room size, different models can be considered:

  • Webcams: ideal for small meeting rooms or the workplace. They are easy to install and offer solid image quality.</li
  • PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) cameras: They allow you to pan, tilt and zoom to cover the entire room. Perfect for professional video conferencing in large rooms.
  • 360-degree cameras for video conferencing: These cameras offer an all-round view and are particularly suitable for larger groups.
  • Auto-tracking cameras: These cameras automatically follow the speaker and thus ensure a dynamic image; ideal for meetings with changing speakers.
  • Cameras with integrated microphone: practical for smaller rooms, as they combine both image and sound in one device.
  • Televisions with camera and microphone for video conferencing: provide an all-in-one solution and can be easily connected to laptops and other devices.
What should you look out for when choosing a video conferencing camera?

When choosing the right video conferencing camera, various criteria play an important role in ensuring that your meetings run smoothly and professionally. You should consider the following aspects when making your decision:

Image quality and resolution

A professional camera for video conferencing should offer at least Full HD resolution (1080p) to ensure sharp image transmission. For larger conference rooms or particularly important meetings, we even recommend 4K cameras to ensure excellent quality even for detailed shots.


Audio integration

A good video conferencing camera either has an integrated microphone or can be easily combined with external microphones. For larger rooms, however, a separate audio technology system is usually the better choice to ensure clear intelligibility.


Camera positioning

The correct video conference camera position is crucial for a professional appearance. The camera should ideally be at eye level and aimed directly at the participants to create a natural conversation atmosphere. Avoid backlighting by placing windows behind the camera or using blinds.


Zoom and pan functions

PTZ cameras are particularly useful for professional meetings in large rooms. With their zoom– and pan functions, they can be flexibly controlled and allow the focus to be directed to the respective speaker or presentation.


Compatibility with video conferencing software

Make sure that your video conferencing camera is compatible with the relevant software applications such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Webex . This ensures smooth integration into your existing IT infrastructure.

Which camera is suitable for different room sizes?

The choice of the right video conferencing camera depends largely on the room size. Different room sizes require different camera solutions to ensure optimum image and sound quality.


Small rooms – compact solutions

In small meeting rooms, simple webcams with HD or Full HD resolution are usually sufficient. Models with an integrated microphone are ideal for quick and easy installation.


Large rooms – Professional solutions with PTZ function

In large conference rooms, PTZ cameras are indispensable. They allow you to pan, tilt and zoom and cover the entire room. Models with 4K resolution ensure a razor-sharp image, even when the camera is at a greater distance.

Choosing the right video conferencing camera

The right choice of video conferencing camera depends on the individual requirements of your company. A simple webcam is often sufficient for smaller meetings, while PTZ cameras with an auto-tracking function are ideal for professional presentations and large conferences.


Budget tip:
When choosing a video conferencing camera, you should not only pay attention to the price, but also to the features and quality. A high-quality camera is an investment that pays off in the long term.
