Description
The Neat Bar BYOD brings professional video and audio to small and medium meeting rooms without locking you into one platform. Connect your laptop with a USB-C and HDMI cable (or a single USB-C cable if your display has a hub) and run Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, or any other app you already use. It is built for rooms up to about 16 feet deep and focuses on making every meeting clearer and simpler for the people in the room and the people on the call.
The Telecom Spot Take
This is a smart choice for teams that want high-quality room video without buying a full dedicated room system. The 12MP camera with 120° field of view and Neat Symmetry framing keeps everyone in view naturally. The 5-microphone array and opposing-driver speakers cut through typical office noise so voices stay clear. IT and facilities teams gain easy mounting options and central management through Neat Pulse, while users just plug in their laptop and start. Best for huddle rooms, focus rooms, and smaller conference spaces where flexibility matters more than a fixed platform.
Key Features
- 12MP camera with 120° wide field of view and 4x digital zoom (optional expansion to 8x) – Captures the whole room clearly so remote participants see everyone without constant camera adjustments.
- Neat Symmetry adaptive group and individual framing – Automatically frames people in the room so the shot stays natural and balanced as people move or join.
- Neat Boundary – Lets you set the meeting space limits so the camera ignores people walking past outside the intended area.
- 5-microphone end-fire array with beamforming and 3 sensor mics – Picks up voices clearly across the table while reducing background noise from fans, HVAC, or hallway traffic.
- Opposing drivers and wide-angle ultrasonic tweeter – Delivers balanced audio with less vibration and distortion so speech stays natural and easy to understand.
- Neat Audio processing – Enhances human voices and actively filters common room distractions for cleaner sound on both ends of the call.
- Simple BYOD connection – Use HDMI + USB-C cables, or a single USB-C cable when your monitor has a built-in hub. Works with the video platforms already on your laptop.
- Sensors for light, orientation, temperature, humidity, CO₂ and VOC – Helps the device adapt to room conditions and gives facilities teams useful environmental data through Neat Pulse.
- Flexible mounting with hardware included – Mount above or below the screen (auto-realigns the view), on the wall, or on a table. Everything needed for screen mounting is in the box.
- Neat Pulse cloud management – Configure settings, control software updates, and view room data across one or many units from a central dashboard.
- Wi-Fi support and single 4K screen output – Keeps the setup clean for typical small and medium rooms.
