Best Practices for Effective Camera Tracking

Follow these best practices to ensure that your Polycom CX5500 system effectively tracks active speakers and participants during conference calls.

●Make sure no items are placed between your mouth and the microphones. For example, position your laptop so that it does not block you when you speak.

●Face the CX5500 system, not the whiteboard or the wall, when you stand at the front of a small conference room to speak. Facing the wall can cause echoes that interfere with the active speaker tracking.

●Avoid standing close to the conference table when speaking. Instead, sit at the table or move away from the table so the camera can clearly track your movements.
