Great camera bar
This Poly Studio R30 display camera bar is great. This has a clamp that is included so that you can tilt the camera to the angle needed. This has been great for my meetings for Microsoft teams as it captures everyone in the room. I like that this auto focuses on the person that is talking. Clear display, sound quality and operates smoothly. The microphone picks up excellent. This has usb connections and the cords are included. This also can be mounted on a tripod asp well. Definitely a great product.

A solid video unit.
A very solid video unit. Bigger than expected, built well, speaks to the extraordinary quality. Set up is simple, although it could fit more secure on a monitor. Probably ideal to mount to a wall over a TV. Video and audio quality is exceptional.

The Perfect Webcam for Conference Rooms!
As the product is a little large for home use, as it's designed for small conference room spaces, I brought this fantastic "little" webcam into work so they could test it in an actual small conference room. I am an IT tech for a medium sized hospice care company, and we do tons of video conferences daily via teams.
This device worked amazing in my experience for smaller meetings, as well as larger meetings. I heard great things about the auto tracking, and the quality of the video that was being put out. In my own experience and my co-workers experiences, this thing is fantastic. I especially appreciate the IT side of things with the management software that allows for controlled remote firmware updates, as well as automatic updates.
The camera quality is fantastic, the 4k really shines, and the auto-tracking of people who are talking (which is able to be disabled) is awesome as well. It can do essentially close-ups of anyone who is currently speaking with high zoom and high quality.
The speakers are pretty amazing as well. No complaints at all. Basically is a miniature sound bar for audio.
The microphone is also awesome. It can pick up audio well from any point in a small/medium sized conference room. It has great noise cancellation features as well in-case you are in a more crowded area or have a lot of background noise.
Overall the perfect webcam solution for small to medium sized conference rooms, and I will be recommending we take a look at upgrading our current solutions.

Amazing camera, Microsoft Teams Certified!
First off I decided to get this for my work station to produce a better camera picture on my meetings and calls. The auto adjusting camera with 120 FOV and 4k picture was what sets this camera apart, my peers shared how crystal clear my video was, how when I moved it kept me center. The audio and passive, looks like a sub woofer made their audio loud and clear.
It came with an optional mount to sit on top of any monitor or tv, works easy and simple to attach. Before I go into my only con of the R30, I would like to add how amazing the packaging is and how simple it was the connect and my PC to configure. It was a cake walk.
If I had to say one thing I would change to this camera would be to add black cables and power supply to match and blend in easier with existing cables/set ups. The tan cables are very early 2000’s
Overall, I would recommend the R30 for any set up you are looking to add the best possible video and audio quality in a room.

Turn Any Small Room Into A Conference Room
I really do love the Poly Studio R30 and it's tremendous capabilities, but I'm going to start with the few small quirks and possible room for improvement. The first thing that you notice during unboxing is that this thing is quite large compared to any standard webcam. Granted, it needs to be big in order to produce room-filling sound with decent quality (and it most assuredly does so). The size also means that it does have some mass, although not as much as you might think to look at it. As a consequence, it can cause some amount of tilt or movement when place atop monitors mounted on arms. It's easy to compensate for this, but it's still something to be aware of. Another size-related issue is the included display mount. It is quite wide and has a deep overhang that will encroach on the image of any newer monitors with tiny bezels. If you're planning to use this a lot, chances are that you're best off either mounting it on a tripod or purchasing the optional wall mount.
In terms of function, the Studio R30 really delivers. The 4K image quality is excellent and the PolyDirectorAI smart camera works extremely well to ensure that the camera remains focused on who/what is most relevant for the folks on the other end. Even when zoomed in on a particular subject, the image is crisp and clear. The Poly Lens desktop app allows for a good amount of customization of the camera behavior and in all cases, it did it's job even better than expected. One little hitch up front is that the Poly Lens app asks for a device password and you have to find the default password in the user guide, which must be downloaded (you'll set a new password during the setup process, so this is a one-time issue). But once you have it rolling, it's like having your own camera person always working to get the right shot, even if you move around while speaking or have multiple speakers.
In terms of audio quality, the microphone array is highly effective in picking up the sounds you want and filtering out the ones you don't (something one would expect from Poly products). I made test calls to other users on multiple different platforms and in all cases, the audio passed with flying colors. I even tried calls with deliberately created background noise and still had no issues. It can also be paired via Bluetooth with a mobile device, which allows you to use it as a speakerphone or to play media content. And I will say that the music actually sounds pretty good on this thing (certainly better than the built-in speakers on any mobile device). When being used as a speakerphone, people on the other end had no complaints about audio quality and were able to understand me quite well.
Overall, this is a very impressive device for any small conference room and offers a lot of bang for the buck.

Huddle unit works well, but needs software polish
The hardware setup instructions were extremely easy to follow, and it took less than 2 minutes to have everything connected and on.
Since I already have the Poly Lens software installed, I launched it to take advantage of any software/firmware updates that might be available.
It immediately recognized the unit and it had an update waiting. I clicked on it, and came across my first “snag”.
It was requesting a password before going any further.
I rechecked all the accompanying paperwork, and saw no reference to a password.
If you’re familiar with Poly/Polycom products, then you know that the password was usually the serial number, and in the past couple years, just the last 6 characters of the serial.
That is not the case here. I had to do a search online for it, and luckily found it. But if I hadn’t been able to find it, then what? No updates for sure, and no control.
Yes, I could still use the unit, but have no way of accessing the settings to make possible adjustments. Leaving this out of the documentation is a bad call.
Got logged in and finished the setup (including connecting it to WiFi- which I don’t understand why, since the unit is not a stand alone unit and requires a PC connection to operate)
So, more password frustration. I had to set a new password, which requires 15 characters that include 2 upper case, 2 lower case, 2 numbers, and 2 special characters.
I set the password during setup, and it accepted it, but when I attempt to access the admin tools, it says the very password I setup is invalid. I have reset the device 3 times now, just to start from scratch and setup a new password. The password requirements are a little over the top- unless there is some vulnerability that necessitates such complexity.
I have tried a final time to access the admin settings, and I continue to get invalid password, regardless of what I set it to.
I reached out to Poly Support and reached someone in Live Chat, who told me I needed to contact them Monday - Friday during regular business hours. (It was Sunday when I used the live chat and reached a live person- made zero sense)
On the following Tuesday, I attempted again to access the Admin tools, and used the default password I found online, and it worked! Which makes me wonder why I had to set a password that I’ve never had to use since creating.
This unit features performance that you can find in larger room style units. Basically camera tracking and zoom for the person speaking. Very handy when you have a small group in a huddle room or stationed around a work area. However, in my particular situation of working from home, I do not need the focus to shift from me, so I turned those features off.
The video sports a crisp 4K resolution and looks great, but is so clear, you might notice your facial flaws and blemishes much easier than ever before. Always try to look your best for video calls.
The audio was also crisp and clear, and on par with the Poly Sync 10, if not just a little bit better, but only by the slightest degree. It does pick up my voice from a little further away than the Sync 10, but I think that’s more to do with the R30 facing me and the Sync 10 facing up.
Overall, I definitely would recommend this as a great addition for any huddle room situation, even though the setup was a bit of a hassle. It’s minor in the longer view, as I haven’t had to deal with it since I completed the last setup.
The default password needs to be either published, or follow the normal format of the last 6 of the serial number, and the password in general - once changed- should not fall back to the default password. This made the software setup a painful procedure, and a waste of time.
Also want to note that while mentioned, it is not promoted that the Poly Lens software is MANDATORY for setup and control.
One last little side note. The unit also has Bluetooth, and can be used as an external speaker for a mobile device. On the Overview page in the Lens application, click on the blue circle with the 3 dots at the bottom right corner of the screen to activate pairing.
However after my first pairing, I was unable to connect with it again, even though my phone sees the device.
Overall, Software/application needs polish, but the unit’s hardware is what you expect from Poly.

Does not work with Skype, Microsoft Teams on W10
Camera build quality is solid. It is much bigger than I expected it is almost same size and conference room grade Meetup camera so it is targeted at high end office Meetings setup. Long USB and Power cables allow or lots of flexibility in placement. The sound quality is great, solid well-balanced audio and great microphone pickup. Camera did not work with Microsoft Teams - just frozen picture, no video. Picture quality is great but it would be nice if video worked. I was also surprised to have the same issue with good old Skype - selecting Poly R30 camera give me snapshot of picture, no video.
Nice camera, hope frozen video issue will be resolved when device certified for Microsoft Teams
