When to Choose Neat Bar Pro
Large conference rooms (14-20 people) in Zoom or Teams environments that prioritize design and AI framing
The Neat Bar Pro combines striking industrial design with powerful AI video capabilities. Neat Symmetry's multi-camera framing is among the best available, and Neat Pulse makes IT management straightforward. The limited platform support (Zoom/Teams only) is the main drawback for organizations using Google Meet or open SIP.
Strengths
- Three wide-angle cameras with Neat Symmetry for intelligent participant framing
- Stunning industrial design with premium materials and minimal footprint
- Neat Pulse cloud management for remote monitoring and updates
- Purpose-built for Zoom and Microsoft Teams with deep native integration
Limitations
- Limited to Zoom and Teams — no open SIP or Google Meet support
- Premium pricing at $5,850 for the bar alone (Neat Pad controller sold separately)
- Older product (2022) though still actively supported with regular firmware updates
When to Choose Meeting Owl 4+
Small-to-medium teams that want a 360-degree view with zero-install setup and broad platform compatibility
The Meeting Owl 4+ remains the most proven 360-degree conference camera on the market. The tabletop form factor is genuinely unique — just plug USB into a laptop and every participant around the table is visible. With the Owl 5 Pro now announced, pricing may become more attractive. A strong choice for hybrid meeting equity.
Strengths
- 360-degree 4K camera with automatic speaker tracking and split-view framing
- USB plug-and-play — works instantly with Zoom, Teams, Meet, and any platform
- Compact tabletop design requires zero installation or mounting
- Owl Labs Nest management platform for fleet monitoring
Limitations
- Audio pickup optimized for ~8 people — struggles in larger rooms
- 360-degree video can feel disorienting for remote participants initially
- Being superseded by Meeting Owl 5 Pro — may see reduced support over time
