Poly Studio P5 with Voyager 4220 UC - Kit with professional webcam and wireless stereo headset - for small rooms

Came to stay, you could call the current work situation: Home office, online video conferences and webinars are part of everyday life. To ensure that you are perfectly equipped, Poly offers the Poly Studio P5 Kit, a complete set consisting of the professional video camera Poly Studio P5 and the Voyager 4220 UC Bluetooth headset. This bundle is ideal for stand-alone applications, such as in the home office. With the Bluetooth stereo headset, you not only get excellent sound, but also flexibility. Both in mobile use and when used directly at your workplace, the Poly webcam is a video conferencing system with which you can make a convincing impression on your counterpart. The Poly Studio P5 full HD webcam is plug-and-play compatible and can also be managed by your IT at any time via Poly Lens. The Voyager 4220 UC headset has noise-cancelling and two microphones that block out noise in your surroundings. If you want to be able to move freely during video conferences and customer meetings, this is the bundle for you! This Poly Studio P5 Kit provides you with lasting support.

The high-quality camera optics of the P5 webcam have a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and also offer a 4x digital zoom, which automatically aligns itself with you. Thanks to automatic compensation, you appear in the best light even in poor lighting conditions, guaranteeing a high-quality video conference. The integrated directional microphone picks up your voice at all times so that you can always be clearly understood. Disturbing background noise is reliably suppressed and faded out.

The viewing angle of the P5 video conference camera is 80 degrees. This means that you are always perfectly in the limelight, provided you mount the camera directly in front of you on a monitor or screen. Even mounting on a tripod would be possible without any problems. As already communicated at the beginning: The Poly Studio P5 is a webcam for single-user applications and this is exactly where it shows its full strength. Whether you use the camera in your home office, in the field or at your workplace, with the P5 your video conference will be a complete success.

Online communication in the working world takes place via certain apps. The Poly Studio P5 is compatible with any video application for this purpose. Simply connect the camera to your MAC or Windows PC via USB 2.0 cable and start a video conferencing tool of your choice. Whether it's Microsoft Teams, Skype for Business, Zoom, GoToMeeting or other tools, you can use the P5 with any system as long as it supports the USB/UVC standard.

The Poly Studio P5 video camera has another practical feature: it has an integrated lens cover. This so-called privacy shutter gives you control over when you can be seen in front of the camera and when you prefer to be invisible. Especially in the home office, this can sometimes be a blessing and save you from unnecessarily embarrassing scenes. Who hasn't experienced it: sometimes a child jumps into the picture, sometimes the master of the house runs through the room lightly dressed after a night shift or the cat jumps around in the background. With the lens cover, you have more control over what others can see.

And now here's the advantage of this kit: you can pair the Poly P5 with the Voyager 4220 UC Bluetooth headset for even more comfort in longer video conferences. The USB port required for this is hidden in the housing, so you can integrate a wireless USB dongle invisibly into the camera. If you don't have a USB-C port available, there is the optional USB-C to USB-A adapter from Poly. On the one hand, you can plug the headset into your PC and connect it via the Bluetooth adapter included in the scope of delivery. On the other hand, you can switch on the Bluetooth function on mobile devices and press the Bluetooth pairing button on the headset to pair the smartphone or similar with your headphones. You can pair up to 8 devices, but only maintain 2 connections at a time.

What makes the Voyager 4220 UC stereo headset special is its freedom and flexibility. The fact that you can easily connect the headset to your devices via Bluetooth gives you the freedom to move around the room. This is not only practical if, for example, you want to fetch something from the other room without having to interrupt your phone call, but also if you are a "phone call runner". Many people like to talk on the phone while walking around and can also concentrate better while doing so. The Voyager 4220 UC is perfect for this. You have a radius of up to 30 metres.

On the subject of flexibility: the headset is Alexa-enabled, which means you can ask for directions, call friends, access Alexa Skills and more. The Voyager 4220 UC is especially useful if you have multiple devices in use, as you simply connect seamlessly with your PC, smartphone and desk phone via the Bluetooth function. This way, you can make internal company calls via the desk phone, external customers via your smartphone, for example, and do your work on the PC at the same time. Perfect basis for more productivity in everyday work.

The Voyager 4220 UC stereo headset provides an excellent sound experience that is ideal for voice, music and multimedia. It offers you noise cancelling as well as two microphones, with which disturbing background noises are suppressed and your counterpart understands you clearly and distinctly. The headset also convinces with its design, which supports long wearing throughout the day. It is equipped with a soft headband and cushion-like ear pads. For optimal microphone positioning, you can flexibly adjust the microphone boom, depending on whether you want the microphone on the left or right. The ease of use is particularly convincing. With the free Plantronics Hub software, you can select language and function and keep your current firmware up to date. You have two options for charging the headset: On the one hand, you can charge it via the included micro USB cable and on the other hand, you can also simply plug it into the charging station.
