Let’s start with an overview of the cameras. We’ve also compared them to two other types of devices that are commonly used for video conferencing - smartphones and laptops.

In this article, we are examining the video image quality of a range of video conferencing cameras, to see what the current generation of this kind of camera is capable of, to check what use cases they are most suitable for, and to find out about their respective strengths and weaknesses. We’ve looked in depth at the technological challenges of video conferencing in a previous article. Good image and sound quality of the devices we use for video calls are therefore key ingredients for a smooth and effective communication. During these calls, the tone of our voices and gestures are just as important for communicating as the actual words. With the Covid pandemic forcing many people around the globe to work from home during the past two years, we are now relying on video calls to communicate with colleagues, clients, family and friends more than ever before.
