Product Review

Effective communication requires the ability to see and hear each other clearly. With today’s distributed workforce trends, new technologies and devices are needed to deliver the high-quality audio and video that workers are accustomed to in their in-person meetings. Grandstream has made great strides in rolling out innovative endpoints to make remote communications not only of higher quality, but more comfortable, as well.

In this article, we review Grandstream’s exciting GUV3100 HD webcam, which is part of the GUV series of personal collaboration endpoints.

A webcam built for an optimal audio and video experience

Focusing on the senses of sight and sound, the GUV3100 lets those you are communicating with see and hear you clearly. Delivering 1080p HD video and high-quality audio captured by two built-in microphones, this camera is perfect for any remote employee, collaborator, teacher, professor, medical professional, family member, or friend to transmit crystal-clear audio and video.

Grandstream CEO David Li has this to say about the webcam: “The GUV3100 exemplifies our continued commitment to offering competitive personal collaboration devices that enhance remote communications. Our GUV series was designed to meet the growing remote collaboration needs of any organization with a portfolio of powerful and easy-to-use USB headsets and a webcam. The newly released GUV3100 adds a 1080p HD webcam and pairs with the GUV3000/3005 HD USB headsets to cover all audio and video collaboration needs while being compatible with all major platforms and apps. We are excited to work with our partners to bring the GUV series to customers around the world.”
