The Logitech ConferenceCam CC3000e is the SmallBizWindows Collaboration Product of the Year 2015.

It wins this easily, despite going against a sister device that we are very sweet on as well, the Logitech ConferenceCam BCC950.

Then it comes to conferencing devices, the CC3000e is peerless.

Videoconferencing takes center stage

Technology has shrunk the world.

However, that shrunken world requires folks all over the globe to engage with, and collaborate.

In the past that meant traveling back and forth to the far flung reaches of your distributed environment for face-to-face meetings.

Video conferencing solved that.

Then came the need for video collaboration.

However, in order to both conference, and collaborate better video told were needed.

In the recent past, that meant establishing a “Halo Room”, that award-winning dedicated twin room solution costing

For under $1,000 you can have the Logitech ConferenceCam CC3000e which offers full HD resolution, is foolproof easy to install and setup, is portable enough to be put into an average padded case and transported, works out-of-the-box with Microsoft Skype for Business (formerly Microsoft Lync), Skype, and Cisco WebEx. It is also supposedly compatible with other new-fangled unified communications platforms. Funny enough, I don’t know if it is compatible with or certified for Logitech’s own LifeSize US offerings.

It works out of the box, needing nothing, and the 280-degree pan, tilt, and zoom camera, coupled with the integral microphone array, make using the CC3000e a cakewalk.

Based on the feature list, the ease of use, and the extremely low cost, our panel found it quite easy selecting the Logitech ConferenceCam CC3000e as out SmallBizWindows Collaboration Product of the Year 2015.

Runners Up

• Logitech ConferenceCam BCC950
