Kensington Professional Video Conferencing Solution Enables Powerful, Professional, and Personal Connections

Cohesive Software, Business-Class Webcams, and Diverse Array of Accessories Work Seamlessly Together to Provide a Unified Video Conferencing Experience in the Office or Home

Kensington®, a worldwide leader of desktop computing and mobility solutions for IT, business, and home office professionals and The Professionals’ Choice, today announced the expansion of its broad portfolio of productivity-enhancing computing solutions for homes and businesses with the launch of the Kensington Professional Video Conferencing solution.

Kensington Professional Video Conferencing delivers a unified, plug-and-play video conferencing experience that enables users to customize and optimize their video presence so they can Communicate Like a Pro from wherever they work. Powered by the feature-rich Kensington Konnect™ software, the Professional Video Conferencing portfolio includes a variety of business-class, high-resolution webcams, a bi-color ring light optimized for video conferencing applications, and several mounting options that make it easy to establish a professional video presence from any home or office environment.

Powerful Software Simplifies the Video Conferencing Experience and Helps Users Look Their Best

Kensington Konnect Software 2.0 empowers the video conferencing experience and works seamlessly with most popular video conferencing applications including Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet. Compatible with macOS and Windows, Konnect enhances user productivity by simplifying the video connections and enabling users to configure how they want to be seen on camera.

Konnect allows users to create and save multiple video configurations that optimize the look of their video presence based on their environment or lighting. In addition to providing focus, zoom, and pan/tilt controls, Konnect enables users to apply filters that adjust the warmth and contrast of the video, and further adjust video settings (brightness, contrast, saturation, lowlight, backlight, white balance, exposure, sharpness, and gamma). Applying these settings in a user’s preferred video conferencing application is as simple as selecting the Kensington camera within the camera settings.

Professional and Cost-Effective Webcams Deliver High-Quality Video Experience

The new Kensington W1050 1080p Fixed Focus Wide Angle Webcam (K80250WW) is a professional and cost-effective webcam delivering high-quality video (1080p @ 30fps), omnidirectional microphones, and unique features for privacy, camera placement, and improved low-light imaging. The features and benefits of the W1050 include:

  • Optimized Video Technology – Delivers vibrant 1080p video and features a large sensor for improved low-light imaging.
  • Fixed Focus with Versatile Positioning – Fixed focus glass lens ensures sharp focus even in low-light or high-contrast environments. Manually adjusts up to 37 degrees vertically and 360 degrees horizontally to ensure the best camera angles.
  • Wide Video Frame with Privacy Cover – 95-degree diagonal field of view is ideal for small team meetings, teaching lessons, or presenting products. The integrated lens cover allows you to control when you are seen.
  • Simple and Powerful Software – Works seamlessly with Konnect software to simplify video settings with the click of a button. Electronic pan, tilt, and 2x zoom (ePTZ) simplifies focal point changes between the user, their team, and the background.
  • Omnidirectional Stereo Microphones – Two microphones with noise-reduction technology ensure clean, professional sound in every meeting and presentation.
  • Kensington Ecosystem Compatible – Combine with Konnect and Kensington Professional Video Conferencing ring light, stands, and accessories to create a tailored professional video conferencing setup based on the user’s environment and budget.
  • Wipe Down Protection – Meets MIL-STD-810H Method 504.3 Contamination by Fluids testing for resistance to breakdown when exposed to cleaning and disinfecting solvents such as alcohol and bleach for at least 24 hours.
  • Industry-Leading Warranty – The W1050 is backed by a two-year limited warranty.

All Kensington webcams feature electronic pan, tilt and 2x zoom, and include integrated lens covers.

Professional Video Conferencing Accessories Provide Cohesive Experience, Professional Look

The L1000 Bicolor Ring Light with Webcam Mount (K87653WW) provides up to 930 Lumens to perfectly augment the lighting and eliminate harsh face shadows in most office environments. Powered by any USB-A port, the L1000 features bicolor LEDs that offer a wide temperature range (cool, natural, or warm) so users can select the best light with the touch of a button. Kensington webcams are easily mounted in the center of the L1000 ring to ensure consistently perfect light distribution.

To ensure ideal placement of webcams, microphones, and lighting systems, Kensington Professional Video Conferencing includes a portfolio of professional mounts including the A1000 Telescoping C-Clamp (K87654WW), A1010 Telescoping Desk Stand (K87651WW), and A1020 Boom Arm (K87652WW).
