My organization has been slowly rolling out the use of Cisco Desk Pros which are hardware endpoints that connect to Webex but are in a practical sense essentially monitors with very nice camera modules and microphone arrays built into the bezel. Laptops connected to the monitor with USB C can use the camera/mic. These cost like $4000 though.

I find the video flattering (camera angle/focal length?)




You certainly can buy good high end webcams. But their market profile here is clearly still B2B and Telepresence, no Prosumer or Individual Professionals yet.

Cisco had some impressive cameras in their older Telepresence products: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/collaboration-endpoint...

But the Cisco TelePresence Precision 60 Camera CTS-P60-K9 ist Ethernet Only and needs prohibitivily expensive hardware to work with.

Next up is probably the Logitech PTZ Pro 2 or Rally
