Logitech GROUP Videoconferencing System - 960-001054

Product Overview

The Logitech GROUP Videoconferencing System (960-001054) 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 combines a motorized PTZ camera offering Full HD 1080p, a 90-degree field of view, and 10x lossless zoom with a full-duplex speakerphone that covers a 6-meter pickup diameter. As a UVC-compliant system, GROUP works with most unified communications and video conferencing applications and connects to a PC or Mac with no additional software. The conversation area can be expanded later with optional expansion microphones.

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 participants can converse within a 6-meter diameter around the base. A central powered hub connects the camera and speakerphone over 5 m cables, allowing up to a 9.8 m span between components, and Bluetooth and NFC support audio calls from a paired mobile device.
