This is an external HD webcam and a whole lot more. Let's check it out
0:13
Dave Taylor here and I'm checking out this. This is so cool. This is a Neuroam conference webcam
0:18
and it basically is an HD webcam and an array of four microphones and a wraparound speaker
0:27
So plug this thing in and whatever kind of webcam setup you have on your computer
0:32
you've suddenly got a huge upgrade. But I don't want to just talk about it. Let me demo it and
0:38
then I'll switch back to being on this camera so we can look at and talk about the features
0:43
But let's just jump over. So we're live on the unit and you're getting the video and the audio
0:51
directly from that. And I'm just recording it in QuickTime on my Macintosh. And you can see
0:56
it's a really bright, vivid picture. And you're getting a slightly different angle than you
1:01
usually do because you can see my computer instead of it being the camera on the top of
1:06
the computer screen that I'm using for, for example, Microsoft Meet or Google Hangout or
1:13
something like that. Now, what I want to show you is I also want to spin it around. The reason I
1:18
came outside is so you can see the crystal clarity of the camera. And I'm going to spin it around so
1:24
you can see my street. And there's nothing to complain about. And notice that my audio still
1:33
sounds just fine. All right. Well, with that, let's go ahead and switch back to me being on the other
1:39
camera inside so I can show you all the different features of this unit. Isn't that cool? Like I
1:46
said, I'm a real big fan. Now, let me tell you some specs about this unit. First off, you'll
1:51
notice on the top that there is a ring and the ring gives you status, which is very helpful. If
1:56
I mute, for example, it turns red. But on the top, there are also four buttons. There's a mute button
2:04
There's a turn off the camera button and there are volume up and down. And then the four little
2:10
holes that you can see in this inset, those four little holes are the four microphones. So this
2:16
means that it's going to pick up audio regardless of where you are around it, which is great. And
2:23
because there's multiple speakers, it's going to sound really good, too. Now, obviously, there's the
2:29
one webcam and it doesn't magically turn to face you or anything. Some of those units are coming
2:34
but they're going to be super expensive. So let me tell you about the microphones. It's a four
2:39
element mic array with AI noise cancellation. You can be up to 13 feet away from this unit and it's
2:47
still going to pick up your voice. And it's 360 degree coverage. That's what the four little
2:52
speaker or four little microphones do. And it is built in AI echo cancellation. So you don't get
2:58
that annoying echo, which is great. Speaker, same thing, 360 degree coverage. And the webcam itself
3:05
that you can see here, that's an HD 1080P webcam. That is a lot better than the webcam on your
3:12
computer. It's also a wide angle, 100 degrees. So it takes a little getting used to, as you saw in
3:19
that footage, is that it's a sort of a bigger panorama, which is great if you're in a conference
3:24
room or you want to get the kids to be on camera or something. It takes a little getting used to
3:30
Now it does come with a cable and notice light went off. So there's USB-C on the bottom. And then
3:38
it has this cable that I would estimate is a six foot cable and it has USB-3 on the other end. Now
3:45
I wish they either shipped with two cables or had some adapter with it because I had to supply my
3:50
own USB-3 to USB-C adapter so I could use it with my Mac. But here's the good news. This is entirely
4:00
plug and play. No drivers needed to download or anything. It works with Windows, with Mac
4:05
with Chrome. They say it works with some Android devices. I haven't tried that out, but that's
4:10
really another really pretty darn exciting idea that you get of this and maybe a tablet or a phone
4:16
that you tilt up against it. Well, probably you'd want the camera facing you, but tilt up against it
4:22
And it's a whole new way to do Zoom or Skype or any of those web and video conferencing systems
4:28
And of course, this is great for video conferencing. So I have tried this on a number of Zoom calls
4:34
and people are highly impressed. Not only that, but in programs like Zoom, you can switch cameras
4:40
So you could have this hooked up and have it further away showing your entire environment
4:46
and then use your webcam when you want to look like everyone else. And then you switch to the
4:51
other camera and get a bigger panorama of what you're doing. You can imagine for teachers how
4:56
incredibly valuable this could be. This could be set up right next to a whiteboard and then you
5:02
stand up, you switch cameras, you go to the whiteboard and you literally do exactly what you
5:07
would do in class. Then you come back to your computer and sit down and switch the cameras back
5:13
and you're just good to go. And it's just a fantastic feature. So not much else to talk
5:19
about. I am a huge fan. This is really cool. It's really nice to be able to have multiple cameras
5:25
on your computer. And honestly, I teach online and I will tell you that my students often have
5:31
problems with their cameras or have their cameras break down. This is a super great solution that's
5:37
going to work with them both educationally and professionally. And of course, it's going to be
5:42
great fun with your friends. You could even play a board game and just have this sitting at the end
5:47
of the table and it'll give them a nice big panorama. And if the person at the other end of
5:51
that video conference happens to be playing it on their TV, you've got a pretty solid experience
5:57
going right there. So this leads to the last and perhaps most important question. How much does
6:05
this thing cost? Well, I'll tell you the price. But before we get there, can I ask if you could
6:10
subscribe to my channel, please? Just a click or a tap on that little red subscribe button and
6:15
we're connected. Great. This is the Neuroam conference webcam and it is $159 at amazon.com
6:25
But right now I noticed they're running a $20 coupon, which drops it down to $139. And the
6:31
company is sending me a discount code that I'll put in the description for this video that should
6:36
give you an even greater discount. So definitely check out my description and use that discount
6:41
code to get one of these for the least possible price. And honestly, get one of these. These are
6:47
really cool. This is a really nice upgrade to something that we're all doing a lot right now
6:52
which is web conferencing. And that's not going to go away. People are going to say
6:56
you know what, let's stick with Zoom. This is a really great way to talk to grandma
7:01
really great way to talk to the boss or to interview someone without them getting on an
7:05
airplane. So upgrading your video world, smart idea. Definitely worth checking out. And with
7:12
that, I'll catch you in my next video. Transcribed by https://otter.ai
