UVC40-BYOD

What the UVC40-BYOD offers in a small room

The Yealink UVC40-BYOD is a meeting kit for huddle rooms and small conference spaces. It combines the UVC40 all-in-one USB video bar with a BYOD box, so a laptop can join video calls on most video conferencing platforms through one Type-C connection, with an HDMI output for a screen. Yealink has discontinued this model and no longer accepts new orders after 31 August 2024, so this page serves existing owners who need support, buyers comparing it with newer kits, and anyone looking for a replacement.

Camera, audio and AI features that matter

The camera uses a 20MP SONY 1-inch CMOS sensor with 4K UHD video, a 133° diagonal field of view (120° horizontal and 80° vertical), 8x e-PTZ and camera presets. An electric lens cap opens when a call starts and closes when it ends, which protects privacy when the room is not in use. Auto Framing adjusts the shot to the number and position of people, Speaker Tracking zooms toward the active speaker, and AI Face Enhancement improves brightness in dim or backlit conditions.

Audio comes from an 8-microphone MEMS array with beamforming, echo cancellation and full-duplex operation, which keeps two-way conversation natural when people talk over each other. The built-in 5W speaker has a rated power of 5W and a maximum of 8W, and the unit supports an extension microphone for larger tables. The listed frequency response is 105-20kHz at a 48kHz sampling rate.

Connections and how the BYOD box works

The UVC40 bar provides a USB 3.0 Type-B port, a USB 2.0 Type-A port, a Yealink microphone port (RJ-45), a 3.5mm line-in, a power port, a security lock slot, a reset slot, built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2. The BYOD box adds two USB 3.0 Type-A ports, one HDMI output, a 1.5 m Type-C cable that connects to the laptop and can charge it, and a Type-C port for its power adapter. Built-in Wi-Fi allows remote device management, configuration, diagnosis and upgrades.

Where it fits in Qatar

A six-person meeting room in a West Bay office is a typical fit: a manager can join a call with a team in Lusail or abroad without installing a full conference system. A private school in Al Wakrah could place one in a department head's office, where staff meetings and calls with parents happen across the week. A real estate sales suite in Lusail with a glass frontage is another case, where the team needs clear video and sound at a reception table, provided the room is fully air-conditioned.

What to plan before ordering

Check the operating range before installation. The UVC40 is rated for 0 to 40°C and 10 to 95% humidity. Qatar summers regularly push outdoor temperatures above 45°C, so the room must be properly air-conditioned and the bar kept out of direct sun through windows. The bar measures 600 mm x 68 mm x 82 mm and weighs 2.56 kg, and its wall bracket measures 127.5 mm x 143 mm x 82 mm. The external adapter accepts 100-240V AC and outputs 48V DC at 0.7A. A site survey confirms mounting height and cable routes before drilling, and several rooms can be ordered together on one purchase order.

Support after discontinuation

Under Yealink's end-of-life policy, the first year after end-of-sale includes hardware and software technical support, bug fixes and security fixes. From the second to the fifth year, Yealink attempts software bug fixes but offers no new features, and hardware spares depend on local distributors and inventory. If you need a model with a longer development path, request a quote for a current equivalent. Send your room sizes and planned video platform with your request, and we will prepare a matched kit list.
