Vidi 150

What the Vidi 150 Is and Who It Suits

The Biamp Vidi 150 is a 4K camera built to work with conferencing systems in compact rooms. It suits huddle spaces and smaller meeting rooms where a small group needs to be seen and heard clearly without a full boardroom installation. A team room in West Bay joining calls with colleagues abroad, or a staff meeting room at a school in Al Rayyan, are typical examples of where it earns its place.

Field of View, Picture Quality and Camera Control

The 120° wide field-of-view is the feature that matters most in a small room. A narrow lens forces people to sit in one spot to stay in frame, whereas the Vidi 150 takes in the whole table and the seats at either end without distortion. The 4K video quality gives remote participants a sharp picture of faces and whiteboards alike.

Electronic pan, tilt and zoom let the room host frame the group or tighten the view on a presenter, and the included remote controls those adjustments. Auto framing keeps participants in shot as people move, and it is enabled from the same remote. The camera also supports wide dynamic range and low light conditions, which helps where a window or a dimmed presentation changes the lighting across the room.

Microphone Array and Noise Cancellation

Audio matters as much as the picture in a meeting. The Vidi 150 has a built-in microphone array with two omni-directional microphones, and on-board signal processing applies noise cancellation to reduce background sound. The intent is that people speaking from either end of a table, or standing at a whiteboard, are picked up wherever they are in the room. In a room with a large floor area or many hard surfaces, a site survey helps confirm whether the built-in audio is enough for your needs.

Where It Fits in Qatar

• Government and authority offices: a small meeting room in Msheireb where a team joins video calls with overseas partners and needs a clear view of everyone at the table.
• Schools and training centres: a staff or training room in Education City or Al Wakrah where one camera covers a small group of participants.
• Hotels and serviced apartments: a business suite near Hamad International Airport where guests join calls from a compact meeting room.

What to Plan Before Installation

The Vidi 150 can be table-mounted or attached to the room's display, so placement is the first decision. Table mounting suits a room with a central table where the camera should face the group, while display mounting suits a room where the screen sits at the head of the table. A free site survey from SmartRooms Qatar checks sightlines, seating positions, cable routes and window light before anything is fixed in place.

Because the camera is USB powered, confirm with your IT team which host device will connect to it and where its USB port sits. The source data does not state an operating temperature range, so if the camera will sit near a window or in a space that is not air-conditioned, confirm the environment with the SmartRooms Qatar team before installation. Summer temperatures in Qatar can exceed 45°C.

The Vidi 150 carries a 5-year warranty from the manufacturer. Quotations are usually issued within one working day, and SmartRooms Qatar delivers to all eight municipalities of Qatar, with professional installation available. Organisations can pay by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order, and government buyers can order through an LPO or tender.

To check whether the Vidi 150 fits your room, request a quote from SmartRooms Qatar with the room size, seating layout and display position, and the team will prepare a quotation for your site.
