Video Conference Solutions for the Home Office

Whether you are a work-from-home parent, or a partial commuter, working from home can present a “Team Environment” challenge. Bring back the collaboration with Video Conferencing for the home office.

What Are My Options?

The three main manufacturers offer three distinct solutions:

How to Choose?

Each of these solutions is budget and space-conscious – perfect for the individual user.

The first thing you need to know is your anticipated in-conference behavior. What does this mean? Well, do you like to get up and walk around on a call? Will you incorporate a whiteboard or a project board? Do you need to show other features in the room on a call?

If you have answered yes to any of these questions, you need a room-based system for the individual. If not, a desktop solution is fine.

From there, you need to know if you will host multiway calls (call more than one place at a time), share data and presentations, and if you need 720p or 1080p resolution.

So, if you like to pace around the room, share data, and need 1080p resolution, opt for the small room-based system with the premium resolution. If, however, you only need to be an occasional participant in a conference and do not plan to share data, go for a software-based desktop client.
