00:00:07,399 --> 00:00:14,599
welcome to my unboxing and first look at the Logitech for business bcc950

2
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:20,480
conference cam now it comes in a very plain brown box because this is not all

3
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:25,720
about the uh you know the Fancy Pants packaging that a that a retail oriented

4
00:00:23,119 --> 00:00:29,400
skew would would be focused on but this is all about the functionality enabled

5
00:00:27,679 --> 00:00:33,559
by this device and some of the really cool soft applications that it can be

6
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:38,800
integrated with so they say right on the package that it's optimized for

7
00:00:35,559 --> 00:00:40,800
Microsoft link Microsoft link is more

8
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:46,800
than just sort of a regular consumer chat client it is a like an Enterprise

9
00:00:44,719 --> 00:00:51,440
grade chat client so it allows you to use things like instant messaging so

10
00:00:49,239 --> 00:00:55,480
this we're used to things like just sort of personto person messaging this we're

11
00:00:53,199 --> 00:00:59,280
used to conference video messaging this we're used to but it also integrates

12
00:00:57,359 --> 00:01:04,000
with entire room video conference systems all the way down to the webcam

13
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:08,520
built into your notebook it also has a lot of collaborative sharing stuff so it's integrated with things like one

14
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:13,759
note so you can collaborate on that as you go while you're giving presentations

15
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:16,680
in Microsoft link you can um you know

16
00:01:13,759 --> 00:01:21,000
play a PowerPoint with sound and it'll work and so it works with I think it's I

17
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:24,680
think link does up to 720p but this particular webcam is 1080p so if you

18
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:29,640
wanted to use it with a different client then that would be fine due to the

19
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:33,640
recent acquisition of Skype uh Microsoft link is also fully integrated with that

20
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:38,159
so there's a lot of really really neat stuff you can do but what is the actual

21
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:41,799
usage case for something like this and why is video collaboration so important

22
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:46,880
I guess are the real questions that you may or may not be asking yourself so as

23
00:01:44,799 --> 00:01:51,439
companies I don't know Outsource to different places or as they you know

24
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:56,320
spread out and have larger campuses as they grow you need to still find ways to

25
00:01:53,960 --> 00:02:00,439
collaborate that don't involve getting in a plane and traveling somewhere cuz

26
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:05,079
it's extremely expensive and very inefficient the amount of time that gets

27
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:11,920
wasted sitting on planes is absolutely ridiculous so it's not that easy to take

28
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:14,519
something like a notebook which has you

29
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:17,840
know a very narrow angle lens on its webcam and it's usually not the highest

30
00:02:16,519 --> 00:02:22,959
quality thing in the world although I'm not specifically picking on this notebook it was just the nearest one

31
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:27,160
sitting here so crowding people around it to give a presentation or whatever

32
00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:31,920
else isn't isn't necessarily practical so this aims to bridge the gap between

33
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:36,599
something like a full room conference system and something like the the cheesy

34
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:41,280
webcam that's built into your notebook so I'm just going to show you guys how

35
00:02:38,519 --> 00:02:45,000
it assembles and why it comes with a remote I think the remote is actually

36
00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:47,920
one of the coolest things about it so we go ahead there's a little stick that

37
00:02:46,319 --> 00:02:51,680
goes right here oh yeah it has a fully built-in speaker phone so that's that's

38
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:56,280
neat as well because it's sort of a one piece thing that fits in the middle of a

39
00:02:53,840 --> 00:03:00,319
conference room and then you don't actually have to have anything else

40
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:07,200
sitting there I mean it looks sort of Space Age and cool and then um

41
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:11,120
like the conference room at the at a place where I used to work there's like

42
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:15,200
a speaker phone and then there's like sort of a random notebook there and then

43
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:19,280
there's uh like another device and then and we're not even set up for for video

44
00:03:17,239 --> 00:03:22,640
conferencing yet so this guy right here replaces all of that stuff and then you

45
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:27,840
can even use you don't have to use Link cuz it's just a standard webcam it uses

46
00:03:24,519 --> 00:03:29,280
h264 encoding for video so it'll work

47
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:33,680
just you can use it with anything whether it's FaceTime uh works with

48
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:37,480
Apple and Windows whether it's uh Skype itself whether it is something more

49
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:42,879
advanced like Microsoft link or Cisco's sharing software uh let's go ahead and

50
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:47,480
plug it in just for LOLs okay so let's do a quick product tour here there's

51
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:51,640
volume up and down mute hang up uh start call that's for the speaker phone

52
00:03:48,959 --> 00:03:55,760
functionality here's zoom in zoom out as well as rotational functionality and

53
00:03:53,959 --> 00:04:00,720
then what you'll notice here is on the remote all that is built in as well so

54
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:05,920
you can answer and turn terminate calls zoom in zoom out move it around control

55
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:10,959
volume and mute things so the remote is sort of the magical part because being

56
00:04:07,799 --> 00:04:12,760
able to move the camera from one person

57
00:04:10,959 --> 00:04:17,160
to another or from one angle to another allows you to basically be sitting in

58
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:20,440
front of it going okay you know blah blah blah blah blah blah blah but then

59
00:04:18,919 --> 00:04:24,360
I've also got this thing on the wall over there that I'd like you to look at

60
00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:27,520
so go ahead and look at that zoom in you got your computer sitting next to you

61
00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:33,240
anyway so you're monitoring what they can see cuz pretty much any that client

62
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:35,840
ever supports that and that's the

63
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:40,520
scenario so basically it's a highquality webcam that's mounted to an ARM that

64
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:44,479
turns around goes up and down Zooms in and out and has an integrated

65
00:04:41,759 --> 00:04:47,840
highquality speaker phone I think that if you don't see the application of this

66
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:51,120
then you're probably not one of the people who could benefit from it but

67
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:54,960
something like this can be easily deployed and something like uh I mean

68
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:58,720
you know smaller organizations don't necessarily have eight different

69
00:04:56,840 --> 00:05:03,400
full-size conference rooms with full video conference buil-in you know

70
00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:09,240
$500,000 thing so this allows you to take any small little office put a desk

71
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:11,240
in it put you know a couple wiring Jacks

72
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:14,080
into it and turn it into a video conference room because you just put

73
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:17,080
like a whiteboard on the wall you have one of these on the desk you have like

74
00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:21,240
sort of three or four people sitting around it and it's usable that way so I

75
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:25,880
hope that pretty much covers everything you'd like to know about it there's also a headphone jack just in case you wanted

76
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:31,479
to use that the whole thing plugs in via USB so there's nothing sort of

77
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:33,639
unexpected there and and uh Slick's sort

78
00:05:31,479 --> 00:05:36,520
of telling me something oh it looks like you don't have to use the stick maybe

79
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:40,240
that's what he's telling me so if you don't want the height adjust and you're

80
00:05:38,840 --> 00:05:45,280
just going to use it on your desk and you just want something that's sort of a fully integrated speakerphone webcam

81
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:50,560
thing then that's an option as well I didn't even I didn't even notice that oh

82
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:54,520
okay it still moves side to side oh oh it probably yeah it probably still moves

83
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:58,919
up and down in side to side that's very cool well there you go don't forget to

84
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:02,680
subscribe Fest Tech tips for more unboxings reviews and other computer

85
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:07,000
videos it kind of reminds me of the guy from uh Star Wars in New Hope that the

86
00:06:05,479 --> 00:06:12,759
the thing that comes out of the the swamp when they get pushed into the garbage compactor and it's like and then

87
00:06:10,280 --> 00:06:12,759
it just goes

88
00:06:16,840 --> 00:06:19,840
down
