Standalone mode – all-in-one device

The Kandao Meeting S conference camera is the only device you need to efficiently organise a remote team meeting. The built-in system, with its own memory and a wide range of connectors, allows you to hold video conferences without needing a computer. Simply connect the camera to a power source and a monitor, connect it to the network, and you can immediately start working on your favourite platform. This is a huge simplification for companies that frequently use the same rooms – instead of struggling with cables and settings every time, you simply switch on the Kandao Meeting S and start the meeting. It works well in both permanent conference rooms and co-working spaces, where different teams take turns using the same equipment.

180° ultra-wide field of view

Forget about situations where some people have to move closer to the camera just to be seen at all. The Kandao Meeting S uses a 195° lens and processes the image to produce a natural 180° view that covers the entire room. This means participants can sit comfortably at the table, and you can be sure that no one ‘disappears’ out of the frame. The camera is ideal for small and medium-sized rooms. Instead of rearranging the furniture, simply place the device at one of the shorter sides of the table. Additional light and colour optimisation ensures that faces remain clear even in less favourable lighting conditions.

Smart framing using AI

When conducting online meetings, it is important that the right person is in the centre of attention. Otherwise, communication becomes chaotic. Kandao Meeting S uses the Kandao Meeting AI 3.0 algorithm, which analyses voice and movement and then automatically frames the active speaker. The camera recognises different scenarios – a presentation led by one person, a dialogue between two participants or a larger group discussion – and selects the appropriate image layout:

• single-speaker view – ideal for presentations and training;
• two-person view – convenient for negotiations or one-to-one conversations with an observer;
• multi-participant view – for dynamic team meetings;
• the ability to manually lock the frame and use the zoom when you want to focus attention on a single point.

2-way audio transmission and 8 microphones

During hybrid meetings, it’s not just the picture that counts, but also the sound quality. Kandao Meeting S uses a full-duplex audio system, which means participants can speak simultaneously without cutting each other off or experiencing unnatural pauses. Eight built-in microphones, combined with intelligent algorithms, focus on the speakers’ voices whilst reducing background noise. A range of up to approximately 5 metres allows people sitting in different parts of the room to speak freely, without having to move closer to the device.

The following features ensure clear and natural sound:

• full-duplex – conversation without artificial pauses;
• AEC, or effective echo cancellation;
• VAD, or voice activity detection in the room;
• advanced background noise reduction, minimising office noise.

Clear Hi-Fi sound throughout the room

In addition to advanced microphones, the Kandao Meeting S conference camera features a built-in 5 W Hi-Fi speaker, designed for small and medium-sized conference rooms. The sound from the people we are talking to is clear, distortion-free and distributed evenly throughout the room. This is particularly important when there are several people sitting around the table – no one needs to lean over a laptop to understand what the other party is saying. The integrated speaker also simplifies installation: there is no need to connect an additional audio system, which reduces the number of cables and saves space.

Extensive range of connectors

The Kandao Meeting S offers a comprehensive range of connectors, allowing it to fit seamlessly into your existing office infrastructure. You have access to:

• an HDMI output for a monitor or TV in the room;
• an Ethernet (RJ45) port providing stable wired internet connectivity;
• USB-C and USB-A ports for connecting a computer and accessories;
• Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity.

Compatibility with your favourite platforms

The Kandao Meeting S conference camera is designed to work seamlessly with the most popular video conferencing platforms. The device can operate as a standalone system or as a USB camera connected to a computer, allowing you to use the tools your team is already familiar with on a daily basis.

Supported scenarios and platforms:

• compatibility with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Slack, GoToMeeting, etc.;
• use as a USB camera with a work or personal computer;
• convenient hosting of hybrid meetings, webinars and online presentations;
• easy integration into existing processes without changing tools.

Wireless screen sharing

During hybrid meetings, presentations and documents often come from various sources – sometimes from a laptop, other times from a tablet or smartphone. Kandao Meeting S has a built-in wireless screen sharing feature that utilises AirPlay and Miracast standards. This allows you to easily stream content from a Windows or macOS computer, or an Android or iOS device, without the need for additional transmitters, switches or cables. Switching presenters takes literally a moment, which significantly speeds up meetings, training sessions and workshops.

Privacy and data security

The Kandao Meeting S conference camera has been designed for companies that take information security seriously. Its high level of security includes, amongst other things:

• local AI processing, without sending data to external servers;
• no storage of IP addresses or location information;
• no open API, limiting the risk of unauthorised integrations;
• a quick and simple mechanism for logging out of the system.

Portable form factor and elegant design

The slim, column-style housing means the Kandao Meeting S looks great in both a modern conference room and a home office. It takes up little space on a table, and the standard 1/4” thread allows it to be mounted on a tripod or bracket if you need a different setup. The set also includes a carrying case, which makes it easy to move the device between rooms or offices. The remote control allows you to comfortably switch modes, adjust the volume and manage the meeting without having to approach the device. All this makes the Kandao Meeting S not only a functional but also an aesthetic addition to your workspace.
