Would this be a good camera to put on top of a TV in a conference room to do calls on skype in a group?

I installed one of these in the main conference room of my previous workplace. The lens was suitable to capture the entire room well, and the built in microphone did a fantastic job of picking up all the voices, including those furthest in the back. In fact, the built-in mic did a much better job than the specialized conference calling unit that sat on the conference table. If you wish to install in in a video conferencing scenario in either a business or a classroom it will not disappoint.

I am using this camera in three of my conference rooms. Placed at the long end of the room, it clearly picks up the 20 people sitting at the table. This camera is much better than the previous MS HD camera I had in the room.

I say yes! The field of view is larger than my built-in cam on my desktop computer and the resolution is higher.

We currently use this camera in our boardroom for skype calls and it serves the purpose perfectly.

I am sure, It will. I use the camera exactly in this manner and It is significantly better, that my previous one, from the main competitor.

I think it will fit your needs. In fact, we bought this camera to take picture of our home, it came out well. Even the pictures in low light turned out good. I am not an experienced photographer as well, so you can use this like a point and shoot

This camera will work for that exact reason and has the built in microphone. I have had no issues with it's use.

It is for stage photo application.So it should be fine for motion taking video.Regards,kimoutlet

This camera does not have a flash, so you will have to make sure there is plenty of light in the room. But other than that it you should have no problem recording a presentation. It will save digitally onto the SD card and then you will have to do the transfer process on your computer.

It depends what you want to use it for. For recording when you're not in the room, maybe?

my guess is yes, it is just a cam and mic that i like a lot, but i use mine with my desktop which has skype.

I'm not 100% sure, but if it will accept a video input with a BNC connector, then yes it should work. I have also bought a BNC-to-RCA adapter and ran this camera directly into a DVD recorder to videotape a meeting. It worked just fine for that.

If all the people will be on front of the mic, it will work great. This mic records from one direction only, if you'll be interviewing from the back of it, that might be a problem.

yes. in fact i use two of these cameras at the same time, one with my skype desktop and one for my skype app. i use them for home surveillance.

Yes it works well for Skype, but has no rear facing camera, so it's only good for face to face video calls.

This camera serves its purpose as a video chat camera at only 720p. As far as pictures, they're ok. A 4x6 pic with this camera will look ok, nothing spectacular.

If your requirements are not too demanding it may work for you. I have used mine to record/stream conferences from as much as 70' with an external microphone. The results compare with a commercial grade conference cam. You don't have as much zoom or exposure/lighting control as you might with a high end unit with large optical zoom or a professional camcorder, and the motions controls aren't as smooth. Consequently, the quality is much more dependent on room lighting and your ability to block camera shots is more limited.

The camera works quite well with Vista and Skype. Friends and family that I have talked to on it are very complimentary about the quality of my video feed.

Yes it worked well for that, however, when I used it for Skype the microphone was not sensitive enough to be heard.Have you used it for Skype and if so, how did it work?

I would say no. The interface for using skype to connect to the cameras is inefficient and cumbersome. It is a fantastic baby monitor if you are onsite, not a good choice for distant monitoring in my opinion.
