Anker, the brand known for its phone accessories and audio products such as power banks, chargers, cables, earphones, and speakers, has announced a new webcam and speaker for work under its AnkerWork line.
AnkerWork PowerConf C300 Webcam
The Anker PowerConf C300 is a 1080p webcam with three fields of view. The default is 78° for closeups but can also switch to 90° for a wider view of the person or to 115° when there is more than one person or you are going to be presenting with a whiteboard.
Anker says that the webcam has a built-in AI chipset that keeps you or others in frame (front and center). It also has an autofocus mode that kicks in in just 0.35 seconds. There are two noise-canceling microphones that remove background noise and low-light correction that allows you to be seen clearly in the dark or backlit conditions. Anker has also added a privacy shutter.
The PowerConf C300 is priced at $129.99 in the US, €129.99 in Europe, and £119.00 in the UK. Interested buyers can grab it on Anker’s own site or on Amazon where it will be available on April 24.
AnkerWork PowerConf S500 Conference Speaker
Anker is known for its quality Bluetooth speakers, so its professional speakers for work should have the same quality. The PowerConf S500 is its third professional speaker and it brings a new design and new features.
The new speaker has four upgraded noise-reducing microphones and 360° voice pickup. It has a 1.75-inch 10-watt custom-designed speaker that makes it ideal for conference calls. There is a companion app that allows you to customize the usage scenarios. Anker says you can also pair two speakers together for larger conference rooms. The built-in 6700mAh battery provides 16 hours of talk time.
The price and availability of the speaker will be revealed at a later date.
