What the HMC1AE is and why it is discontinued

The HMC1AE is a plug-in USB camera made for Hisense interactive displays. Fitted to the panel's USB slot, it gives a meeting room a camera without a separate laptop webcam or a standalone conferencing unit. Hisense has discontinued this model and lists it among its end-of-life products. This page is written for organisations that already own one, for buyers comparing it with newer models, and for anyone searching for a replacement.

Where it fits in Qatar

In a ministry meeting room in Msheireb, staff often join calls with colleagues in other cities, and a Hisense panel serves as the room's main screen. A camera on that panel lets the far side see the room without anyone moving a laptop. An international school in Al Rayyan could use the same setup in a staff room for remote parent-teacher meetings. In larger rooms, the 80.2-degree horizontal view works best with a small group seated near the panel.

What to plan before ordering

The data does not list a microphone for this camera, so plan audio pickup separately and confirm the arrangement with the SmartRooms Qatar team. The data also gives no operating temperature range, so confirm the installation environment before fitting the camera near windows or in rooms without air conditioning, where Doha summer temperatures can exceed 45°C. Ask for a free site survey to check the USB cable route, the seating area inside the camera's view and the mounting position. Products are covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

Replacement options and next step

Because the HMC1AE is discontinued, most buyers now need a current equivalent or a compatible replacement. Send your Hisense display model, the room size and the number of people who usually sit in front of the camera. SmartRooms Qatar will quote for a current camera that suits your panel, with quotations usually sent within one working day. Request a quote now, and include your LPO or tender reference if you are buying for a government body.

Questions about HMC1AE

Is the Hisense HMC1AE still available from SmartRooms Qatar?

Hisense has discontinued the HMC1AE and lists it among its end-of-life products, so ordering this exact model may not be possible. SmartRooms Qatar can quote for a current equivalent or a compatible replacement. To help us match it, send your Hisense display model, the room where the camera will sit and how many people usually attend meetings there.

Which displays does the HMC1AE connect to?

The camera is designed for the USB slot on Hisense interactive displays and connects over USB 2.0. Before ordering, check that your panel has a free USB port and confirm the exact display model with the SmartRooms Qatar team, because the source data does not list every compatible model.

What resolution and frame rates does it record at?

The HMC1AE captures 4K (3840x2160) at 30fps. It also supports 1080P, 1280x720 and 720x480, each at 30fps. The sensor is a Sony IMX415 with a 1/2.8 type size and 8MP pixels. Choose the resolution in your conferencing application and test it on the building network before an important external call.

How wide is the field of view?

The manufacturer lists a viewing angle of 88.2 degrees diagonal, 80.2 degrees horizontal and 51 degrees vertical, with 1% distortion. Some promotional text describes a 120-degree angle, but the measured specification is the one to plan with. Check that every seat you need to capture falls within the 80.2-degree horizontal view, since people seated far to the side may sit outside the frame.

Will the camera work in dim meeting rooms?

The camera has a 4K sensor and a lens with an F/2.7 aperture, and the manufacturer says people remain visible and clear in dim light. Many meeting rooms in Doha are darkened for presentations, so test the camera at the lighting level you will actually use on the day of installation, before relying on it for an important external meeting.

Does the camera have a built-in microphone?

No. The manufacturer data lists the number of built-in microphones as N/A, so the HMC1AE provides no audio pickup of its own. Plan how voices will reach the call, whether through a separate conference microphone or the room's audio setup. The SmartRooms Qatar team can help confirm the audio arrangement before you purchase.

How would a ministry meeting room in Msheireb use this camera?

It suits a meeting room where staff join calls with colleagues in other cities and a Hisense interactive display is the main screen. The camera lets the remote side see the room without anyone moving a laptop. Installation planning starts with a free site survey to check the USB connection, the seating positions and the mounting point before the quotation is finalised.

How could an international school in Al Rayyan use it?

It can be fitted in a staff room or a small training room with a Hisense display, for remote parent meetings or professional development sessions with teachers abroad. The 80.2-degree horizontal view suits a small group seated close to the panel rather than a full lecture hall. Position the camera so the whole group is in frame, and confirm the setup before the new term begins.

Can it be installed near a window during a Qatari summer?

The source data gives no operating temperature range for the HMC1AE, so SmartRooms Qatar cannot confirm it for hot or unventilated spaces. Summer temperatures in Doha can exceed 45°C, and dust carried by wind storms can enter through openings. Keep the camera in an air-conditioned room away from direct sunlight, and ask the team to confirm the environment before installation.

How much space does the camera need, and how should I plan the mounting?

The data lists the body as 104.4 x 60.25 x 69.7 (W x H x D) but does not state the unit, so confirm the dimensions before planning. Measure the position of the USB slot and the cable route from it to the chosen mounting point. Viewing angle and cable routing are the main planning points, and a free site survey from SmartRooms Qatar can check both before installation.

Can we order several cameras for different rooms through a purchase order?

Yes. SmartRooms Qatar accepts purchase orders (LPOs) and supports government tenders, including those published on Monaqasat. Send a list of the Hisense display models and the rooms involved, and the team will quote a current equivalent camera for each site, usually within one working day. Because this model is discontinued, confirm compatibility with each display before issuing the purchase order.
