At NEWROCKIT, we’re always on the lookout for technologies that can enhance our service offerings and improve the way our clients communicate. This week marks an exciting step in that direction as we embark on the installation of an Owl Labs video conference system. In this blog post, we’ll explore why we chose Owl Labs, the process of installation, and how this technology will benefit our customers.
Why Owl Labs?
- 360-Degree Coverage: Owl Labs’ solutions, like the Meeting Owl, provide a full 360-degree view of the room, ensuring that everyone is visible, whether in-person or remote, fostering a more inclusive meeting environment.
- Ease of Use: Known for their plug-and-play simplicity, Owl Labs’ systems reduce the technical hurdles often associated with video conferencing setups, allowing for quick integration into any meeting space.
- Quality Audio-Visual Experience: The promise of high-definition video and superior audio quality with noise cancellation technology ensures crystal-clear communication, which is crucial for effective remote collaboration.
Installation Process
- Site Assessment: Before the installation, our team conducted a thorough assessment of the conference room to determine the optimal placement for the Owl Labs equipment. This involved checking for power sources, ensuring adequate lighting for video clarity, and planning for the best audio capture.
- Setup:
- Hardware Installation: The Meeting Owl was mounted at the center of the conference table, with its base connected to power and plugged into the room’s network port for connectivity.
- Software Configuration: We ensured that the Owl Labs software was installed and configured on our clients’ systems, setting up accounts and testing connectivity to guarantee seamless integration with popular video conferencing platforms like Zoom or Microsoft Teams.
- Testing and Calibration: Post-installation, we ran several test meetings to calibrate audio levels, adjust camera settings, and confirm that the system works flawlessly both within the local network and with external participants.
Benefits for Our Customers
- Enhanced Remote Work Capabilities: With remote work becoming a staple, our Owl Labs system allows clients to conduct meetings where remote participants feel as if they are in the room, thanks to the panoramic view and intelligent speaker tracking.
- Increased Productivity: By reducing the time spent troubleshooting tech issues, meetings start on time, and participants can focus on content rather than connectivity. The 2023 State of Remote Work Report highlighted that technical difficulties often lead to lost productivity, an issue we aim to mitigate.
- Cost and Time Efficiency: Video conferencing significantly cuts down on travel expenses and time, allowing for more frequent and spontaneous communication between teams spread across different locations. This can be particularly beneficial for our clients in training sessions, client meetings, or large-scale corporate events.
- Improved Collaboration: Features like shared whiteboards and real-time document collaboration enhance the interactive nature of meetings, making brainstorming sessions and decision-making processes more dynamic and effective.
Conclusion
The installation of the Owl Labs video conference system is not just about introducing new technology at NEWROCKIT; it’s about redefining how our clients communicate and collaborate. This system promises to bridge the gap between physical and virtual meetings, making every interaction more productive and engaging. As we continue to explore innovations in IT solutions, we’re excited to see how this system will transform the meeting culture for our clients, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in remote and hybrid work environments.

We’re eager to gather feedback from our client’s post-installation and look forward to sharing their experiences and our learnings in future posts.
