4. Kandao Meeting Pro
Equipped with two specially designed lenses, eight microphones, a high-quality HiFi speaker, an integrated Android system and an advanced AI algorithm, it provides a video conferencing experience that fully meets all remote working needs, whether for efficient communication in companies, in schools, in hospitals or elsewhere.
The Kandao Meeting Pro is unique in that, unlike its predecessors, it has an integrated Android system. There is no longer a need for an external computer; conferences can be started simply by connecting to a screen via HDMI. Traditional conferencing software can be launched directly from the Kandao Meeting Pro, and the use of enterprise or custom conferencing software is also made possible by the flexibility of the Android system. Of course, in the traditional way, the Meeting Pro can also be connected to a notebook, tablet, Chromebook, etc. via the USB-C port and used as a powerful webcam. Compared to traditional conference cameras, 360-degree video technology replaces the fixed wide-angle lens in the Kandao Meeting Pro, so every participant is fully displayed. The microphone array and high-quality speaker use advanced technologies such as beamforming and noise reduction to ensure high audio quality, and can reach a range of up to 5.5 meters (twice as far as the first generation).

The updated Meeting AI 2.0 then processes this enormous amount of video and audio data, selecting and combining the most important parts of the scene to create a 1080p output. This 8K-in-1080p-out approach not only provides a massive visual upgrade over the traditional 1080p-in-1080p-out conference camera, but also presents the meeting in an immersive way that was not possible before. The Kandao Meeting Pro also offers multiple conferencing modes for different situations, which can be selected with one button or the remote control.
With multiple access points for a WLAN, Ethernet LAN, USB and HDMI connection, the Kandao Meeting Pro video camera is flexible enough to connect to a variety of conferencing devices.
