Where separate camera and audio earns its cost
At four to six people the table is long enough that a single bar either frames the near end well and loses the far end, or pulls back so far that nobody reads clearly at the other end of the call.
Separating the camera from the microphones solves both. The camera is placed for the room shape, and the microphones are placed for where voices actually are.
What goes in
- Display sized to the furthest seat rather than the wall
- Camera positioned for the room shape and seating
- Microphone coverage across the whole table, not just the middle
- Speakers placed so the far end is intelligible from every seat
- One touch join and a wired option for guests
- Room scheduling panel at the door
Booking is part of the room
A panel at the door showing whether a room is free removes most of the friction people have with meeting rooms, and it is cheap to add while the cabling is open.
Display size is set by the far seat
The person furthest from the screen decides how big it needs to be. Text on a shared document has to be readable from that chair, which is usually a larger display than the room budget first assumed.
The measurements that make it work
Display size from the farthest viewer, camera field of view from the seating plan, microphone pickup from the table dimensions: three measurements decide whether this room works, and we take all three before specifying anything.
Cable paths, mounts and power are planned so the room looks intentional, because visible improvisation undermines every meeting held in it.
Common questions
What AV equipment suits a four to six person meeting room?
A display sized to the furthest seat, a separate camera positioned for the room shape, and microphone coverage across the whole table. This is the size where a single bar starts to struggle.
How big should a meeting room display be?
Sized to the furthest seat, not the wall. Whoever sits at the far end has to read a shared spreadsheet comfortably; that measurement drives the size.
Where should the camera go in a meeting room?
Where it frames every seat at eye level, decided by the room shape and seating rather than by where cable is easy. That is a survey decision.
Can we book the room from the calendar and see availability at the door?
Yes. One touch join from the scheduled meeting plus a panel at the door showing status is the standard we fit.
Can our existing room be upgraded rather than replaced?
Usually. Displays and furniture often stay; the camera, audio and joining experience are what get brought up to standard.
One team from design through commissioning
We cover the full project rather than turning up to install somebody else's design. That is what makes the result somebody's responsibility.
Design
We walk the building, work out what it needs to do and produce a design you can actually price against.
Procurement
We source the equipment and stand behind what we specify, so there is one party accountable for it.
Installation
Our own crews on site for cabling, mounting, terminations and containment.
Commissioning
Everything configured, tested and handed over with the records, credentials and documentation.
