Disadvantages of hardware video conferencing system
- The price is slightly higher
Hardware video conferencing system uses high-performance DSP processor and dedicated operating system, the technical content is much higher than the software video conferencing system, the product price is also slightly higher.
- Desktop extension requires software support
Although there are currently purely hardware desktop terminals, they are more expensive and require a second information point at the office location. Many hardware video conferencing systems are extended to the desktop through software, which not only facilitates desktop applications, but also saves costs.
3, investment risk is relatively high
Due to the use of dedicated systems, the hardware video conferencing system is completely a one-time investment and cannot be used for other applications like the servers used in the software system. Therefore, users must consider the scalability and upgradability of the system when choosing a hardware video conferencing system, such as support for future higher bandwidth networks and new features. In this respect, the hardware equipment with modular design is better than the integrated hardware equipment.
