Overview

The ViewSonic VB-CAM-201 is an all-in-one 4K UHD conference camera with a 121° wide-angle lens, 5x digital zoom and voice tracking that keeps the speaker in frame. A four-array microphone with echo and noise cancellation and a built-in stereo speaker handle audio in the same unit. It is Zoom Rooms certified and suits boardrooms, training rooms and hybrid meetings in Doha, Lusail and Education City.

What the VB-CAM-201 adds to a meeting room

The VB-CAM-201 puts a camera, a microphone array and a stereo speaker into one unit, so a meeting room needs one device on the wall or table instead of several separate parts. Its 1/2.5-inch CMOS sensor records 8.51 megapixels and delivers 4K UHD video. The 121° diagonal field of view, or 110° horizontal, captures people seated along a long table without moving the unit.

Framing and sound that follow the conversation

Voice tracking moves the frame toward whoever is speaking, and the 5x digital zoom tightens the shot on a presenter at the front of the room. The camera offers pan and tilt of ±15° and five white balance settings, including automatic, indoor, outdoor, one-push and manual. Backlight compensation and 2D and 3D digital noise reduction help when a bright window sits behind the participants.

On the audio side, a beamforming microphone picks up voices at distances up to 6 metres. The four-array microphone applies AEC, ANS and AGC processing, which handles echo cancellation, noise reduction and gain control, so remote participants hear speech clearly rather than room noise. A stereo speaker is built in for the far end of the call.

Where it fits in Qatar

A ministry boardroom in Msheireb: department heads in Doha join a session with colleagues abroad, and the wide view covers the whole table.
A lecture room in Education City: the lecturer stays in frame during hybrid sessions, and the 5x zoom brings the presenter closer when needed.
A company office in Lusail: teams run hybrid meetings across the Sunday to Thursday working week, with one camera setup for each room.

What to plan before installation

With its bracket fitted, the unit measures 600 x 115 x 135 mm and weighs 2.2 kg. The box includes the bracket, six bracket screws, six wall anchors, a remote control that needs two AAA batteries, a power adapter and a USB Type-C cable. Before drilling, check the mounting height, the distance to the furthest seat and the sightline from the table. A free site survey from SmartRooms Qatar covers all of this.

The manufacturer data we hold does not list an operating temperature range. If the camera will sit near a window or in a space that is not air-conditioned, ask the SmartRooms Qatar team to confirm the conditions before installation, particularly when summer temperatures pass 45°C.

Questions about VB-CAM-201

What is the ViewSonic VB-CAM-201 designed for?

It is an all-in-one conference camera that combines a 4K UHD camera, a four-array microphone and a stereo speaker in one unit. It suits boardrooms and meeting rooms where participants join video calls with colleagues in Doha and abroad, such as a ministry boardroom in Msheireb or a company meeting room in West Bay. The room needs one main unit for video and audio pickup.

How wide is the field of view, and does it frame everyone at the table?

The lens offers a 121° diagonal field of view (110° horizontal), which captures participants seated across a long table. Voice tracking then adjusts the framing toward whoever is speaking. The data does not state a maximum headcount, so ask the SmartRooms Qatar team to check your seating plan during a site survey before you order.

What video resolutions and frame rates does it support?

The maximum is 4K at 30 fps, and the camera also supports 1080p and 720p at 30 fps. The listed video formats are H.264, MJPEG and YUY2. Windows 7 is supported only at 1080p and below, so a 4K setup needs a newer operating system. Check your computer specification before you buy.

How do voice tracking and the 5x digital zoom work in a lecture room?

Voice tracking moves the frame toward the active speaker, and the 5x digital zoom crops closer on a lecturer at the front. In an Education City lecture room with hybrid students, the lecturer stays in frame when moving between the board and the seats. Because the zoom is digital, it works within the 4K image rather than moving a lens.

How far away can the microphone pick up a voice?

The beamforming microphone picks up voices up to 6 metres away. In a large boardroom where the far end of the table is beyond that distance, a second setup or a different position may be needed. A site survey lets the SmartRooms Qatar team measure the distance from the unit to the furthest chair and advise accordingly.

Which computers and operating systems are supported?

It supports Windows 10 or higher, macOS 10.10 or higher, Google Chromebook (version 29.0.1547.70 or higher) and Linux with UVC support. Windows 7 is limited to 1080p and below. The recommended computer is a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or better with 2 GB of memory. Confirm that your conferencing application runs on these systems before ordering.

Is it Zoom Rooms certified, and what about other conferencing platforms?

Yes, the manufacturer lists it as a Zoom Rooms certified camera. For other platforms, send the platform name with your request, and the SmartRooms Qatar team will check compatibility with you before you order. This is useful for organisations in Qatar that run one platform for internal meetings and another for calls with partners abroad.

What ports and connections does the camera have?

It has one USB 3.0 Type-C port, one USB 2.0 Type-A port and one HDMI output. A USB Type-C cable is included in the box. Plan the cable route to your computer and display during the site survey so the unit can be placed without long cable runs.

What is included in the box, and what should I check about the power adapter?

The box includes the camera, documentation, a remote control (two AAA batteries required), a power adapter, a bracket, a USB Type-C cable, six bracket screws and six wall anchors. The data we hold does not list the adapter's input rating, so ask the team to confirm it against Qatar's 240 V, 50 Hz supply before you order.

Can it be wall-mounted, and how much space does it need?

The unit measures 600 x 115 x 135 mm with its bracket included and weighs 2.2 kg. The bracket, screws and wall anchors come in the box. Before drilling, confirm the mounting height, the wall construction and the sightline from the table. SmartRooms Qatar offers a free site survey, which is worth booking before any wall fixing.

Can the camera be installed near a window or in a hot space?

The operating temperature range is not in the manufacturer data we hold, so we cannot confirm performance in hot conditions. Summer temperatures in Qatar often exceed 45°C, and dust storms are common. Ask the SmartRooms Qatar team to review the room before installation, especially if the camera would face direct sunlight from a window.

Can a school or public body buy several units with an LPO or tender?

Yes. SmartRooms Qatar accepts purchase orders (LPOs) and government tenders, including Monaqasat, and delivers to all eight municipalities of Qatar. A school fitting out several classrooms or meeting rooms can send the quantity and room list together, and the team issues one quotation covering each unit, with installation planned after a site survey.
