Overview
The Microsoft Surface Hub Smart Camera is built for Surface Hub 2S and Surface Hub 3 displays. It mounts magnetically on the top bezel and uses automatic framing to keep people in view as they move. With a field of view above 136 degrees, it suits boardrooms and meeting rooms in Doha where remote colleagues need to see everyone at the table. Included with some Surface Hub bundles; also sold separately.
What the Surface Hub Smart Camera does in a meeting
The Microsoft Surface Hub Smart Camera is the camera module designed for Surface Hub 2S and Surface Hub 3 displays. It gives remote participants a life-size picture of the room, including people standing at the screen to write, draw or open files. Instead of holding one fixed shot, the camera re-frames the picture when people enter or leave the room, or when someone interacts with the content on the display, so the far end keeps seeing whoever is speaking.
It comes with a privacy cover, a Quick Start Guide, and safety and warranty documents. The camera is included with some Surface Hub 3 50-inch and 85-inch bundles and the Surface Hub 2S 85-inch, and it is also sold separately, so check your order before you request a quote.
Image quality and framing specifications
The lens is a fixed-focus design with 11 glass elements and a horizontal field of view greater than 136 degrees. Digital pan-tilt-zoom adjusts the picture without moving the camera. The working distance is 1.0 to 7.4 metres, which defines how deep a room the camera can cover from the display. Tilt is limited to 20 degrees above or below horizontal, and de-warp processing corrects the image as the angle changes so faces look natural across the frame.
Image optimisation covers auto exposure, auto white balance and anti-flicker, which matters in rooms that mix daylight with ceiling lighting. Video runs in 16:9 at 360p, 720p, 1080p and 1440p. Inside the casing sits an Intel Myriad X 2085 image signal processor and neural network chip, with 1 GB DRAM and 8 GB eMMC storage that is not user accessible. Firmware is updated through Windows Update, with software updates protected by a signature security process.
Where it fits in Qatar
A boardroom in West Bay or Msheireb with an 85-inch Surface Hub is a typical case. Executives in Doha and colleagues abroad see the full table, and the frame changes as people take their seats or walk to the screen. In a training room at a university in Education City, a lecturer can annotate on the display while remote students follow both the speaker and the content. A ministry team in Doha reviewing files with colleagues in other cities can use the same setup, and industrial training rooms in Mesaieed or Ras Laffan can connect specialists who join from head office.
What to plan before you order
- Host display: confirm you have a Surface Hub 2S or Surface Hub 3, since mounting is listed only for these models.
- Room depth: measure the distance from the display to the furthest seat and check it falls within the 1.0 to 7.4 metre working distance.
- Bundle check: see whether your hub already includes the camera before buying a separate unit.
- Software: IntelliFrame on Microsoft Teams Rooms needs a separately sold licence, and automatic framing needs a supported Windows edition.
- Environment: the source data gives no operating temperature range, so confirm room conditions with the team before installation.

2 files from the manufacturerQuestions about Surface Hub Smart Camera
What is the Surface Hub Smart Camera and which displays does it work with?
It is the camera accessory for Microsoft Surface Hub displays. It mounts on the top of the Surface Hub 2S and Surface Hub 3 50-inch and 85-inch models and sends a life-size picture of the room to remote participants during calls. Microsoft originally called it the Surface Hub 2 Smart Camera. In a Doha meeting room, it lets colleagues abroad see both the people at the table and the content on the screen.
Is the camera included with a Surface Hub or sold separately?
It depends on the bundle. The camera is included with the Surface Hub 3 50-inch and 85-inch and the Surface Hub 2S 85-inch, and it is also sold separately. If your hub is a different configuration, or you are adding a camera to an existing display, request a quote for the standalone unit. SmartRooms Qatar can confirm the model and compatibility before you order.
How wide is the field of view and what working distance does it cover?
The horizontal field of view is greater than 136 degrees, and the working distance is 1.0 to 7.4 metres. The lens is fixed focus with 11 glass elements, and digital pan-tilt-zoom adjusts the picture without moving the camera. Before ordering, measure from the display to the furthest seat. Seats beyond 7.4 metres fall outside the stated working range.
How does automatic framing work during a meeting?
Automatic framing detects people in the field of view and re-frames the video when someone leaves, when more people come in, or when a person interacts with content on the display. Remote participants see the people at the screen and those seated at the table without a camera operator. Image optimisation adjusts auto exposure, auto white balance and anti-flicker to keep the picture steady under mixed room lighting.
Will it work in a boardroom in West Bay with an 85-inch display?
Yes, a boardroom with an 85-inch Surface Hub is one of the strongest uses. Executives joining from Doha and from abroad can see the whole table, and the frame changes as people take their seats or move to the display. The field of view above 136 degrees covers a wide table. Check the table depth against the 7.4-metre working range before fixing the display position on the wall.
Can a university lecture room in Education City use it for hybrid teaching?
A lecture room in Education City can use the camera when a lecturer presents on the Surface Hub while students or guest speakers join remotely. Auto framing re-frames when the lecturer steps to the display to annotate, so the remote audience sees both the speaker and the content. Plan seating so the front rows fall within the 1.0 to 7.4 metre working distance, and review room lighting during the free site survey.
How could a government ministry in Doha use the camera for meetings with other cities?
A ministry team in Doha reviewing files with colleagues in other cities can use the camera with a Surface Hub 3 85-inch to show the whole room, including officials who stand at the display to present data. Purchase orders and government tenders are supported, so the request can follow the ministry's procurement process. Share the model, room size and any existing hub details so the quotation covers the right unit.
Is it suitable for a training room at an industrial site such as Mesaieed or Ras Laffan?
It can suit a training room where specialists at the site join sessions run by head office. The camera re-frames as trainees move between seats and the display, which helps remote trainers see who is asking questions. The source data gives no operating temperature range or dust rating, so confirm the room conditions with the SmartRooms Qatar team during the site survey before installation.
How is the camera attached, and can it move between displays?
The camera attaches to the top bezel of the display with a USB-C connector that uses a magnetic break-away attach, so it detaches instead of pulling on the hub if knocked. The connector is a customised USB-C interface, and reversible USB-C connection is not supported. Mounting is listed only for Surface Hub 2S and Surface Hub 3 models, so confirm your model before planning installation. SmartRooms Qatar offers professional installation.
What is the privacy cover for and where is it stored?
The privacy cover magnetically attaches to the front of the camera for privacy when a meeting needs it. When not in use, it magnetically attaches to the back of the camera for convenient storage, so it stays with the unit. The camera has no physical buttons and one white LED status indicator that is only visible when the camera is on. It weighs 180 g with the privacy cover.
Do I need a Microsoft Teams Rooms licence to use it?
Not for automatic framing, which works on supported Windows editions: Windows 10 Team Edition or Windows 10 or 11 Pro or Enterprise. IntelliFrame support on Microsoft Teams Rooms requires a software licence that is sold separately. Confirm which meeting platform and Windows edition your hub runs before ordering, and share those details so the quotation reflects your setup.
Can it be used in a hot or dusty space in Qatar?
The available data gives no operating temperature range or dust rating, so do not assume it suits hot or dusty areas. It is a meeting room accessory with an anodised aluminium casing, so plan for an air-conditioned room. Confirm the environment with the SmartRooms Qatar team before installation. The manufacturer's one-year limited hardware warranty applies to the camera.
