You can use the Polycom unit if you purchase a Video to USB adaptor for your
computer. Then you have a full Pan/Tilt/Zoom camera with a good boundary
microphone. Just connect the video out that would go to the TV to the USB
adaptor. Probably overkill for most, but if you still have your unit
Just to clarify, it was a board meeting, but it was only the 9 people at the
table, no others in the room. The audio was very good considering it is
probably 25 feet to the far side of the table where the board president was
sitting.

Logitech Quickcam 9000. We just worked with one in the boardroom last night.
It worked great right up until he lost connection in Des Moines...

Chad-
West Des Moines talked about using the Lumens Flex Cams (the
red ladybug as our District now knows them by) as a Skype camera. Can't
vouch for it, and don't know about the microphone idea either. But, it
is on my list of things to check out.

Chad, check out the Philips cameras. They make a few that have external
mics, which you could place for the best reception.
