Buyer's FAQ

Product Related Meeting Owl Comparison

Traditional 360° meeting cameras often rely on the blurry edge areas of a single lens to capture participants, which can result in image distortion, delays, and missed facial details. The 360 Alien video conferencing camera solves this by using four 120° lenses that seamlessly cover the full 360° range. This design ensures each participant is captured with maximum clarity and precision—no blind spots, no stitching lines, just smooth and natural interaction.

You can connect up to 2 expansion mic AM01. The 360 Alien’s built-in microphones cover a 5.5-meter radius, while each expansion mic adds an additional 3-meter radius. With both expansion mics, you can cover an area of approximately 16m × 5m, ensuring every participant is heard clearly.

A 30° automatic exclusion zone prevents the camera from capturing displays or walls behind it, keeping participants in focus and eliminating distractions from the background.

The wireless dongle eliminates the need for costly cable installation and the safety hazards of tangled wires in the meeting room. Simply plug it in, and you can start your meeting within seconds—secure, seamless, and hassle-free.

The Nearity 360 Alien offers three distinct modes tailored for various video conference scenarios:
Discussion mode: All four lenses work together with voice and face detection to automatically frame up to four active speakers—seamlessly, without any blind spots or stitching lines. Ideal for roundtable or panel discussions.
Global mode: Keeps a steady 120° wide-angle view from a selected main lens. Switch the main view anytime via the remote to focus on a new speaker. Perfect for presentations requiring a stable, distraction-free view.
Presentation mode: Dynamically tracks and zooms in on the current speaker, adjusting the frame in real-time based on voice and movement—ideal for interactive sessions or team collaboration.

When connected via USB cable or wireless dongle, it outputs at 4K HD with a smooth frame rate of 30 fps, while HDMI output is 1080P@60fps

Yes, Nearity 360 Alien supports full-duplex communication, allowing multiple speakers to be heard clearly and simultaneously.

The effective pickup distance for the microphone in the Nearity 360 Alien is up to 5 meters radius (approximately 16 feet), which can capture clear audio from all directions within a meeting room.

It works with nearly all web-based video conferencing software, including Zoom, Google Meet, Skype for business, Microsoft Teams, Webex, etc.

Plug the power adapter into an outlet. Then, plug the USB/wireless dongle into your computer, open up your video conferencing software of choice, and select the Nearity 360 Alien as your mic, camera, speaker. There are no drivers required to download, it just works.

Yes, you can adjust the camera angle and zoom during a meeting with the Nearity 360 Alien. This video conference camera is equipped with a remote control that allows you to easily zoom in and out, as well as reposition the camera to focus on different participants or content being shared.
