Video Conference Camera And System Selection Requirements

Video conference camera and system selection requirements

Videoconferencing is now familiar to many companies. The widespread use of videoconferencing systems is a reflection of the importance of videoconferencing applications in enterprises. Although many companies choose to use videoconferencing software to hold video conferences, for many enterprise organizations that need to choose videoconferencing systems, how to select a good videoconferencing system is not a good idea for an expert. difficult. Xiao Bian explains to you the seven points of choosing a video conference camera:

(1) The network bandwidth must reach 1M or more during video conference work

SME users must confirm that their network bandwidth is sufficient to run video conference communications before selecting a model. Under normal circumstances, if the SMEs want to use the video conference system, the network bandwidth must reach the exclusive bandwidth of 1M or more.

(2) User experiment in real network environment

In general, the solution provider will demonstrate the technology to enterprise users in a specific environment. Almost all vendors have the ability to make their video products behave in a special environment. So users must verify product performance in their own real network environment.

(3) Enterprise users understand the technical maturity of the solution

At present, the mainstream in the market is based on the H.320 standard solution and H.323 standard solution. From a time point of view, based on the H.320 standard solution technology is relatively mature, a wider range of applications, the conference function is more complete, but its one-time investment is larger.

Compared with the H.320 solution, the H.323 solution has a smaller investment and can easily transition to a broadband network or other more convenient and faster communication network.

Therefore, the cost-sensitive small and medium-sized enterprises should be able to choose the products that support the H.320/H.323 duplex mode when choosing a solution. This will allow both the existing infrastructure and the future development to be taken into account. Protect the established investments.

(4) Business users choose to operate as simple as possible

The network environment of SMEs is generally not too complicated. Therefore, choosing a video conference with simple operation and friendly interface can basically meet the needs of users. And this can also minimize the cost of training companies to use video conferencing equipment.

(5) Videoconferencing users should pay attention to the practicality of the equipment

Most vendors claim that their videoconferencing endpoints can synchronously open dozens or even hundreds of video images, but in fact this feature is not practical. Users cannot listen to multiple people at the same time in a conference. Therefore, it is entirely possible to use the video switching mode of a spokesperson to achieve video interaction with different people. Opening multiple video frames is actually a waste of bandwidth.

(6) Videoconferencing users should pay attention to the pros and cons of the scheme

For SMEs, the video conferencing system is a long-term investment, so consider the scalability when choosing a solution. Videoconferencing systems independently developed by vendors are generally based entirely on software implementation, and can be easily made into components or middleware products for secondary development and porting. However, hardware products can be expanded to a much smaller extent once they are put into use. Enterprises need to determine the program according to their needs.

(7) Videoconferencing users should seek assistance from third parties

For SME informatization construction, it is difficult for the enterprise's own decision makers to ensure that they make correct decisions. Therefore, seeking out the brain is a good way to solve the problem.
