The Neat Bar BYOD Video Collaboration Bar brings professional video meeting capability to small and medium meeting spaces in a single, ceiling or wall-mountable bar. A 12MP camera with 120-degree horizontal field of view and optional 8x digital zoom captures every participant, while Neat Symmetry auto-framing keeps remote attendees in view regardless of where people sit or stand. Five microphones in an end-fire array with hardware-accelerated beamforming, echo cancellation, and noise suppression ensure clear audio across the full room. In BYOD (Neat Select) mode, a laptop connects via HDMI and USB-C, giving any user immediate access to their preferred video conferencing application without a dedicated room computer.

Key Features

12MP Wide-Angle Camera: A 12MP sensor with 4056 x 3040 capture resolution and 120-degree horizontal field of view ensures the full width of a small to medium room is captured. Optional 8x digital zoom brings remote participants closer to individual speakers.
Neat Symmetry Automatic Framing: Patented Neat Symmetry uses machine learning to detect and frame all in-room participants equally, adjusting the video crop in real time as people move, stand, or join from different points in the room.
5-Microphone End-Fire Array: Five angled microphones in an end-fire configuration provide 360-degree room pickup, with hardware-accelerated beamforming steering towards active speakers and suppressing off-axis noise.
Hardware-Accelerated Audio Processing: Dedicated audio processing hardware delivers echo cancellation, noise suppression, automatic gain control, and dereverberation in real time, ensuring consistent call clarity regardless of room acoustics.
Opposing Drivers and Ultrasonic Tweeter: The speakerbox design uses opposing drivers to cancel mechanical vibration, paired with a dedicated wide-angle ultrasonic tweeter for detailed high-frequency reproduction across the full meeting room.
BYOD Deployment via Neat Select: In Neat Select mode, any laptop connects via HDMI and USB-C to use the Neat Bar as camera, microphone, and speaker on any video platform, with no additional room PC required.
Environmental Sensors: Built-in sensors monitor temperature, humidity, CO2, and VOC levels, providing real-time air quality data via the Neat Pulse management platform for room health and occupancy insights.
Secure Boot and Kensington Lock: Hardware secure boot protects the device from firmware tampering, and a Kensington-compatible security lock slot supports physical security in shared or public-access environments.
Neat Pulse Cloud Management: All Neat Bar devices are managed through Neat Pulse, providing remote configuration, software update control, real-time room utilisation data, and API integrations for enterprise IT management at scale.
Flexible Mounting: Mounts above or below a display, on a table stand, or on a wall bracket, adapting to the layout and furniture of any small to medium meeting space.
