CAWish we bought this sooner We've always had a few people working remotely. At every company meeting, or large gathering it always felt to them that they weren't fully part of that experience. Our Owl immediately changed that. The audio quality improved 10x from our external mic, and having the ability to see everyone made a huge impact to everyone involved. The same can be said for our regular zoom meetings with partners and customers. They really enjoy being able to see everyone. Highly recommend adding this to your stack. Super easy to set up and get started.

GBWireless camera pairing feature is a gamechanger. We purchased our first Owl Professional on March 2020. It died after the first month; Owl Lab's replaced it promptly. It is now October and we purchased four more units. A single unit works well for small to medium rooms. With physical distancing, the rooms cannot house as many people as they used to. For meetings involving 10 or more people with 6' physical distancing made the microphones a little weak. Then, Owl released firmware that allows unwired (WiFi direct) pairing of two cameras. This is a game changer for this system. One unit covers small to medium rooms; two units paired can now cover medium-large meeting rooms.

GBBeautiful Design, Horrible Product. We used an OWL 3 and HQ at an offsite meeting and loved it, so we purchased our own. But the technical requirements for set-up reminded me of setting up a network in 1999! Absolutely horrible! Thank goodness we bought a test one first because we wanted to role out 100 company-wide! Owl needs to make the process easier, and not require Admin level knowledge! Plus - if you don't have Microsoft of Google Admin's - you're completely out of luck!

GBGreat Idea, Poor Execution We bought two Owls for our conferences between offices. They were great to start, but we quickly found that the audio quality was almost unusable. Lots of pieces of conversations were dropped and we surmised it was due to some overzealous attempt at blocking out background noise. Great idea and the hardware seems good, but the software is not there yet.

GBJust plain awesome all around. Our office went through dozens of microphone and camera options and all were pretty awful. We even tried studio rated microphones and expensive cameras and none of them were what you would call good especially for a tech company. We unpacked the owl and called a bunch of our remote employees and every one of their first responses was "WOW! This is way better than anything else you have tried we should get more of these". Would recommend everyone get one.
