Great for working remotely

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how the camera is crystal clear in meetings. You can see every detail :). The microphone is also great. There is an option for NoiseBlock AI which cuts out background noise for both incoming and outgoing audio! No more hearing others air conditioning in the background. The built in speaker is loud and clear. Its quality is above average and others are easy to understand. Finally, the camera field of view is super wide so you can see everything. Overall I would recommend this camera.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We were very Impressed!
on September 22, 2022

from Charlotte, NC
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This camera has become a pride and joy for our meetings with clients every week. The packaging was very nice and instructions were easy to understand. I was surprised at how easy it was to install.
I would call it, " A all in one Camera studio," as the lens follows who is speaking at all times, and the fact we could all be on screen at the same time as a group, and not feel like we are 10 feet away from the camera was amazing. No more panning out to see everyone.
You can set the AI up and also move people around depending on who will be vocal on the call.
I would highly recommend this camera system for any office that has video meetings. Our regional Sales Management team will be getting theirs in the next month.
It has made a world of difference, as we now feel as though we are all in on the conversation and no longer have to deal with boxes with each others names popping into view when we need to express our thoughts and concerns in the meetings.
The AI software worked without a glitch in following the speaker and the noise canceling make our meetings enjoyable.
Lastly the quality of the images are amazing, very crisp and the colors pop a lot more. The camera itself takes video in 4k imaging. We as a company are very happy with this product and I can't wait to see what is coming next for Poly Studio.

More than what I was expecting

from Florida
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Poly Studio R30 is by far more than what I was expecting, starting with the installation that was super easy and the features, the 4K video quality was amazing with the directional smart camera, great quality sound and background noise canceling, it’s a little bit too good for the use I’m giving it but that it’s not stopping me from enjoying all the features
I would recommend this to a friend!

Right solution for any home office!
on September 30, 2022
Posted by: Alen
from North Georgia.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Poly Studio R30 USB video bar for small conference spaces is the right solution for my home office. I am not a tech expert but I don't need to! Is extremely easy to install and use. It has up to 4K resolution and 120-degree field of view and pin-point accurate speaker tracking. Also the downloadable software adds automatic tracking. It's like having a director in the room making sure everyone is seen clearly. My wife love it! Another feature my wife love is the lens cover for privacy!

The Perfect Webcam for Conference Rooms!
on July 21, 2022
Posted by: MiscreationZERO
from Minneapolis, MN
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As the product is a little large for home use, as it's designed for small conference room spaces, I brought this fantastic "little" webcam into work so they could test it in an actual small conference room. I am an IT tech for a medium sized hospice care company, and we do tons of video conferences daily via teams.
This device worked amazing in my experience for smaller meetings, as well as larger meetings. I heard great things about the auto tracking, and the quality of the video that was being put out. In my own experience and my co-workers experiences, this thing is fantastic. I especially appreciate the IT side of things with the management software that allows for controlled remote firmware updates, as well as automatic updates.
The camera quality is fantastic, the 4k really shines, and the auto-tracking of people who are talking (which is able to be disabled) is awesome as well. It can do essentially close-ups of anyone who is currently speaking with high zoom and high quality.
The speakers are pretty amazing as well. No complaints at all. Basically is a miniature sound bar for audio.
The microphone is also awesome. It can pick up audio well from any point in a small/medium sized conference room. It has great noise cancellation features as well in-case you are in a more crowded area or have a lot of background noise.
Overall the perfect webcam solution for small to medium sized conference rooms, and I will be recommending we take a look at upgrading our current solutions.

A solid video unit.

Posted by: foodiggity2
from New Jersey
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A very solid video unit. Bigger than expected, built well, speaks to the extraordinary quality. Set up is simple, although it could fit more secure on a monitor. Probably ideal to mount to a wall over a TV. Video and audio quality is exceptional.

Turn Any Small Room Into A Conference Room
on July 11, 2022
Posted by: JoeMo
from Macomb, MI
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really do love the Poly Studio R30 and it's tremendous capabilities, but I'm going to start with the few small quirks and possible room for improvement. The first thing that you notice during unboxing is that this thing is quite large compared to any standard webcam. Granted, it needs to be big in order to produce room-filling sound with decent quality (and it most assuredly does so). The size also means that it does have some mass, although not as much as you might think to look at it. As a consequence, it can cause some amount of tilt or movement when place atop monitors mounted on arms. It's easy to compensate for this, but it's still something to be aware of. Another size-related issue is the included display mount. It is quite wide and has a deep overhang that will encroach on the image of any newer monitors with tiny bezels. If you're planning to use this a lot, chances are that you're best off either mounting it on a tripod or purchasing the optional wall mount.
In terms of function, the Studio R30 really delivers. The 4K image quality is excellent and the PolyDirectorAI smart camera works extremely well to ensure that the camera remains focused on who/what is most relevant for the folks on the other end. Even when zoomed in on a particular subject, the image is crisp and clear. The Poly Lens desktop app allows for a good amount of customization of the camera behavior and in all cases, it did it's job even better than expected. One little hitch up front is that the Poly Lens app asks for a device password and you have to find the default password in the user guide, which must be downloaded (you'll set a new password during the setup process, so this is a one-time issue). But once you have it rolling, it's like having your own camera person always working to get the right shot, even if you move around while speaking or have multiple speakers.
In terms of audio quality, the microphone array is highly effective in picking up the sounds you want and filtering out the ones you don't (something one would expect from Poly products). I made test calls to other users on multiple different platforms and in all cases, the audio passed with flying colors. I even tried calls with deliberately created background noise and still had no issues. It can also be paired via Bluetooth with a mobile device, which allows you to use it as a speakerphone or to play media content. And I will say that the music actually sounds pretty good on this thing (certainly better than the built-in speakers on any mobile device). When being used as a speakerphone, people on the other end had no complaints about audio quality and were able to understand me quite well.
Overall, this is a very impressive device for any small conference room and offers a lot of bang for the buck.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great camera bar
on July 21, 2022
Posted by: victoria83
from SC
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Poly Studio R30 display camera bar is great. This has a clamp that is included so that you can tilt the camera to the angle needed. This has been great for my meetings for Microsoft teams as it captures everyone in the room. I like that this auto focuses on the person that is talking. Clear display, sound quality and operates smoothly. The microphone picks up excellent. This has usb connections and the cords are included. This also can be mounted on a tripod asp well. Definitely a great product.
I would recommend this to a friend!
