The current pandemic has spurred a revolution in the way we work. The new work from home arrangements may not ever go away instead many experts predict a significant part of the workforce will continue to work from home; or rather anywhere. Video conferences and virtual meetings may be the new norm in the workplace. With that in mind, Dell is introducing their new UltraSharp Webcam.
Dell is looking to give users the best front of screen experience with their first 4K UltraSharp Webcam. The company has poured its R&D into developing an external webcam imbued with nine patent-pending technologies and AI. The company drew inspiration from DSLR cameras aspiring to bring the same quality to a webcam.
To achieve that quality, the company started with the lens and equipped the Dell UltraSharp Webcam with a large 4K Sony STARVIS CMOS sensor complemented with a multi-element lens. This allows the camera to capture more light and detail. With the main hardware covered, they worked on imbuing the camera with software that would help draw out the best video quality. The Dell UltraSharp Webcam comes with Digital Overlap HDR which assists it to capture and reproduce true-to-life images – even in low light.
They also include a variety of AI-assisted technologies that help make sure you’re always the focus. The highlight of which is the auto-framing feature. The feature keeps you in focus and centred all the time. It shifts the frame slowly to ensure that people viewing the video feed don’t feel disoriented by the camera movement. The webcam also comes with software that allows users to choose from 65°, 78° and 90° fields of view to suit their environment and up to 5x digital zoom.
The Dell UltraSharp Webcam also integrates seamlessly with software. The IR sensor embedded in the camera allows it to work with Windows Hello to allow seamless logins. It also comes with Dell’s ExpressSign-in technology to work in concert with Dell PCs. With ExpressSign-in, Dell PCs automatically log users out when they step away from the computer by using the proximity sensors in the webcam. Keeping privacy at the core, the webcam also comes with a magnetic cover to make sure the camera isn’t seeing anything.
All of these technologies come in a sleek, cylindrical body made of aluminium. It also comes with a magnetic mount and tripod that allow users to transition seamlessly between mounting it on their monitors or a tripod.
