Third-party options

Refer to Appendix A: Third-party referrals on page 69 for a list of companies that sell this type of
equipment.

Room cameras

SMART products support USB cameras, both with and without an integrated microphone to enable
video and sound recording with the same component.
NOTE
Cameras with integrated microphones are not recommended for recording audio in large rooms.
Separate microphones are better suited to such settings. See Microphones on page 36 for more
information.
Both the SMART Room System for Skype for Business and the SMART Room System with
SMART Meeting Pro software come with a USB camera (CAM301). Third-party USB cameras can
also be used with room systems. SMART does not offer separate cameras other than those used in
its room systems. You can use a third-party camera if you want to use a SMART product for
videoconferencing.
NOTE
A computer typically supports only one USB camera connection, even with the use of a USB hub.
