Logitech 960-001060 GROUP Video Conferencing System with Expansion Mics

Product Overview

The Logitech GROUP Video Conferencing System with Expansion Mics (960-001060) is a USB plug-and-play camera and speakerphone solution for mid to large conference rooms, sized for groups of roughly 14 to 20 people. It pairs a motorized PTZ camera offering Full HD 1080p, a 90-degree field of view, and 10x lossless zoom with a full-duplex speakerphone and a pair of expansion microphones. The included Expansion Mics extend the conversational pickup area from 6 meters to 8.5 meters in diameter for larger rooms. As a UVC-compliant system, GROUP works with most unified communications and video conferencing applications.

Product Description

GROUP brings life-like Full HD 1080p video at 30 frames per second to mid-to-large meeting spaces, with a ZEISS-certified lens, autofocus, and a 90-degree field of view that frames everyone at the table. The motorized camera offers 260-degree pan, 130-degree tilt, and 10x lossless HD zoom for close-ups of objects and whiteboard content, plus five camera presets and far-end camera control of compatible Logitech ConferenceCam products. The cast-metal speakerphone delivers full-duplex audio with acoustic echo cancellation and noise reduction, and this configuration adds two expansion microphones that widen the pickup area from a 6-meter to an 8.5-meter diameter. A central powered hub connects the camera and speakerphone over 5 m cables, allowing up to a 9.8 m span between components, and the system connects to a PC or Mac over USB with Bluetooth and NFC available for mobile audio calls.
