Now a days everyone is working from home and attending lots of meetings from home. There are online classes for students. For this we need a good camera so that we look good in the videos. Not any old camera will do. To experience cloud-based video meetings in a meaningful way, you need vivid colour, clear detail and the ability to detect sometimes subtle, non verbal cues, such as body language and facial expressions. When people can see each other, they feel more emotionally connected and engaged. This results in reduced meeting fatigue and enhanced decision-making abilities.
Poly has come up with EagleEye Mini Usb camera for this purpose. Poly is a company which is based around communication, so it should come as no surprise that the EagleEye Mini is optimized for teleconferencing. This is a professional camera intended for conferencing with good quality video. One of the plus point of this camera is that we can mount it any where.
