It's well-suited for daily/weekly meetings with the teams, and to explain the detailed design of the projects. Also, to host various remote training sessions for new hires. To record the prototype design working model in the laboratory.

Great devices if you need to hold small conferences. If there is a need to hold a conference for several dozen people, I would recommend using older models.

Alternatives Considered
Don't get me wrong we have purchased less expensive webcams for employees, but I asked for the Cisco Desk Camera for myself as the options and features it has are far better than the others. I just wish they were a bit lower cost so we could get more of them installed.
