Insta360 has officially launched Insta360 Connect, the dual-4K camera AI video bar set to revolutionize video conferencing. Originally unveiled and made available for pre-order at Infocomm 2024, where it received the prestigious “Best of Show 2024” award in the AV Technology category, Connect is now ready to upgrade your hybrid meetings.
The all-in-one video bar features dual-4K cameras, a 14-mic array, and the most advanced tracking functionality of any product on the market. Designed for small to medium-sized meeting rooms, Connect seamlessly blends cutting-edge hardware and AI algorithms to provide an immersive and realistic experience for both in-room and remote participants. The simple plug-and-play design works seamlessly with laptops and all major meeting platforms for smooth, efficient BYOD meetings.
Connect is the perfect solution for businesses and professionals demanding uncompromised video quality and clear communication. It’s designed for anyone who has struggled through a remote meeting with poor audio and visuals, thinking things would have been much smoother face-to-face. Connect is the difference maker, mitigating risks and offering remote interactions that feel like the real thing.
While Connect takes a different shape from Insta360’s previous product lines, it builds on the company’s expertise in imaging and audio technology. Years of innovation in the 360°, VR and action camera space preceded its venture into video conferencing with the Insta360 Link webcam series, released in 2022. Now, Insta360’s first-ever video bar aims to redefine the hybrid meeting experience and deliver a groundbreaking, immersive solution for meeting rooms.
Insta360 Connect is available to order today from the Insta360 Official Store and selected retailers, with an MSRP of US$1999.
Advanced Imaging, Unmatched Visuals
Connect boasts first-class imaging hardware with a dual 4K camera. The setup consists of a wide-angle camera with a 1/1.3″ CMOS sensor and a telephoto gimbal camera. The two work seamlessly together to capture 4K group views and individual close-ups for unparalleled meeting visuals. With a wider angle, 48MP telephoto lens, and integrated gimbal, participants across the room are seen as much as those at the front.
Connect’s imaging is made even better by AI Resolution+, an advanced machine-learning algorithm that delivers true-to-life clarity. AI Resolution+ transforms image quality and detail, showing whoever is speaking in double resolution for enhanced communication.
Exceptional Audio for Clearer Communication
Excelling far beyond its competitors is Connect’s audio, with an industry-leading 14-microphone array and 3A audio algorithm working to offer better-quality audio capture. Typically, in large spaces and meeting rooms, in-room participants will experience issues with voice pickup, unclear audio, and inconsistent volumes, and online participants will experience significant echoing and heavy reverb, making it difficult to follow the discussion.
Connect’s 14 omnidirectional microphones pick up voices from every corner of the room with precision. At the same time, the cutting-edge 3A algorithm eliminates unwanted noise and echoes, picking up voices from a much greater distance than other video bars (up to 33ft away) with balanced volume, supreme clarity, and natural, immersive sound. No matter how close or far participants are sitting from Connect, they’ll be heard loud and clear.
For interruption-free meetings, an adaptive audio system eliminates unwanted sounds and effects. The intelligent noise reduction technology analyzes your real-time acoustic environment to remove background noise and reverb, keeping everyone on track with no distractions. What’s more, it recognizes the real-time acoustic environment in the room and configures noise reduction and de-reverberation parameters accordingly. This dynamic adjustment delivers smooth audio throughout the meeting, no matter what changes might occur inside or outside the room.
Intelligent Features for Seamless Collaboration
In multi-person meetings, colleagues sitting further away are often out of sight and may feel excluded from the conversation. Connect has an intelligent solution for fair and equal meetings every time: customized AI framing. Group Framing automatically adjusts the view to accommodate all participants, keeping everyone in the frame. Offering a natural, inclusive view that presents the whole team together provides a realistic experience for those joining a meeting remotely.
Powered by proprietary AI algorithms, 8K Gallery Mode ensures every participant gets an individual window in industry-leading 8K resolution, with a maximum of eight windows at a time. Even if a person accidentally moves out of frame in Gallery Mode, Connect will locate them within three seconds and display them on screen.
Another key advantage of Connect is its tracking capabilities. Regular cameras use traditional sound localization technology that can only identify the general direction of the speaker, making it hard for remote participants to identify exactly who is speaking. Insta360 Connect addresses this issue with Speaker Tracking, a multimodal speaker tracking algorithm that locates and zooms in on the speaker as they are talking. By using sound location detection, intelligent voiceprint, and face, body, and lip recognition technology, Connect precisely tracks the speaker and keeps them center stage with much greater accuracy. Moreover, Multi-Person Tracking monitors all participants simultaneously, enabling quick and accurate transitions between speakers.
In addition, Connect boasts a series of versatile modes for smoother presentations and easier operation:
Whiteboard Mode: A built-in mode that automatically recognizes, squares off, and enhances a whiteboard, giving participants a clearer view and keeping it visible even if someone blocks the camera.
Speakerphone Mode: The classic conference call, now with pro-level audio. Connect easily via Bluetooth for crystal-clear audio.
Privacy Mode: Conceals the lens, mutes the microphone, and tilts the gimbal camera down for instant privacy whenever it’s needed.
Versatile Mounting Options
Insta360 Connect is ready for any space with three versatile mounting options:
Desk Mount (in-the-box) – Compact and easy to install, the Desk Mount provides good stability right out of the box and can be placed anywhere according to your needs.
Wall Mount – A space-efficient mount for productive meetings. Safely mount Connect on a wall with customizable placement to ensure it’s always at the best possible distance. The smooth, built-in swivel allows a complete range of movement for flexible angle adjustments.
TV Mount – A clean setup that presents the whole team together with full room coverage. The TV Mount is compatible with most TV sizes and features an additional hook for flexible placement above or below the screen. The multifunctional arm and VESA support are compatible with wall and stand-mounted displays up to 100 inches, regardless of aspect ratio. The mount also allows for front-to-back adjustments to ensure perfectly framed meetings every time.

Insta360 Connect is available to order today from the Insta360 Official Store and trusted retailers such as Amazon. The MSRP of the Standard Bundle is US$1999, including an Insta360 Connect, a Desk Stand, two 1.8 Meter HDMI Cables, a 1.8 Meter USB-C Cable, a Power Adapter and a Remote Control.
