VC400
Yealink VC400 Room Video Conferencing System (Discontinued)
The Yealink VC400 is a discontinued room video conferencing system built around an 18x optical PTZ camera and 1080P full-HD video. It supports H.323 and SIP, includes a VCP40 phone with 360-degree voice pickup, and can drive dual displays. Yealink has announced its end of life, so support ends after the EOL date. Organisations in Qatar that already run it, or are comparing it with newer systems, can request a quote for a current equivalent or compatible replacement.
What the Yealink VC400 is and why it is discontinued
The Yealink VC400 is a room-based video conferencing system designed for medium-sized meeting rooms. Yealink has discontinued this model and announced an end-of-life schedule, after which support and services for the product are terminated. If your organisation already owns a VC400, or you are weighing it against newer systems, this page sets out what the unit offers and what to plan for.
Camera, picture quality and multipoint calling
The package centres on an 18x optical PTZ camera that delivers 1920 x 1080 video, with a pan range of ±100° and a tilt range of ±30°. Up to 10 preset positions can be stored, so a meeting host can return to a set framing in seconds. The embedded multipoint control unit handles four-party calls at 1080P, and with a multipoint licence it supports eight-party calls at 720P in an asymmetric configuration. Dual 1080P30 streaming lets people and shared content appear side by side.
Audio, connectivity and interoperability
The VCP40 phone has several built-in microphone arrays and supports 360-degree voice pickup. An optional expansion microphone kit extends pickup to 5 metres, which helps when a room has a long table. The system supports H.323 and SIP, the H.239/BFCP dual-stream protocol for SIP calls, H.264 High Profile, and compatibility with several cloud platforms including Zoom and Pexip. Ports include two HDMI, one DVI and one VGA, a 10/100/1000M Ethernet port, two USB 2.0 ports, and 3.5mm line-in and line-out connections. Recordings and screenshots can be saved to a USB flash drive.
Where it fits in Qatar
- Government offices in Msheireb with a meeting room that connects Doha with overseas teams during the Sunday to Thursday working week.
- A training centre in Education City equipping a seminar room where a presenter and a small audience need clear pickup and a second screen for slides.
- A private school in Al Rayyan setting up a staff meeting room with a shared directory and LDAP phonebook support.
What to plan before installation
The external adapter accepts 100 to 240V input and outputs DC 19V. Normal operating power is 24W, with a maximum of 30W and idle draw below 2.8W. The codec measures 330 mm x 183 mm x 40 mm, and the camera measures 282 mm x 152 mm x 159 mm, so confirm mounting space and sightlines before ordering. A wall-mounted shelf with screws is included. The data gives a storage temperature of -10 to 50°C and an operating humidity range of 10 to 95%, but not an operating temperature, so confirm the room conditions with the SmartRooms Qatar team, especially in rooms with direct sun or weak air conditioning.
Replacement and requesting a quote
Because the VC400 is no longer sold by Yealink, most buyers should compare a current equivalent or compatible replacement. SmartRooms Qatar supplies, delivers to all 8 municipalities of Qatar, installs, and offers free site surveys. Quotations are usually issued within one working day. Purchase orders (LPOs) and government tenders, including Monaqasat, are accepted, with payment by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. Request a quote and share your room size, existing systems and call volume, and we will recommend a current option.
