Adapt to Mid-to-large rooms with Scalable Speakerphones
The VC550 provides a premium audiovisual experience. Embedded with daisy-chain technology, the VC550 can be expanded by adding up to four additional microphones or two speakerphones to provide full coverage in mid to large rooms.

Advanced Noise Suppression Achieves Amazing Acoustics
Feeling irritated by background keyboard typing and air conditioning sounds during a conference call? The FONE540 silences the noise and guarantees unmatched audio clarity to free you from distractions.

Flawless Audio for Fluid Communication
Do people on the other side of your audio meeting still have trouble hearing every word you say? With the FONE540 you won’t have to repeat yourself anymore. Equipped with double-talk detection, the FONE540 makes every call feel like a face-to-face conversation.

4K Dual Lens Offers Wide-Angle Clarity for Larger Rooms
Capture a full view of any meeting room with wide-angle functionality. The VC550 equips two 4K lenses, the first of which is a PTZ camera with 12X optical zoom (24X total zoom) which automatically frames participants and the second is an AI lens with 95°FOV, together providing a full and panoramic view of any room.

Dynamic Framing Enhances Meeting Efficiency
The VC550 quickly and precisely focuses on participants and newcomers. When newcomers walk in, the secondary AI lens springs to action to detect them, then the PTZ camera automatically re-frames. Through fully automatic operation, dynamic framing optimizes meetings and eliminates touch for high levels of safety.

Highlight Participants with Smart Gallery
Clearly capture attendees with Smart Gallery, which utilizes AI face and body detection technology to crop participant’s faces and make sure everyone looks great. You can choose between headshot and half body mode to adapt to any situation without compromise.
**This function requires PTZApp2 running in the computer.

STOCK AVAILABILITY

The availability of stock is communicated via the indicator of each product listing page.

    • Available - means that reasonable stock is in our warehouse, ready for immediate shipment.
    • Limited Stock - means that we have only a small number of items in stock.
    • Out of Stock - means this item is currently unavailable for immediate shipment - orders placed for "Out of Stock" items will be fulfilled as soon as replacement stock arrives.
    • Special Order – These products are not generally kept in stock in New Zealand. Lead times vary depending on country of origin, manufacturer stock levels, factory production schedules, and/or incoming shipment transit times. Please contact us for an estimated lead time.
