Very convenient but not worth the price to set up a whole corporate surveillance nightmare.

Certainly with the Cisco system, not worth the money they charge for the hardware! Every room has a few $25 wholesale price Ikea grade chairs, a table, and then a $100k conference phone.

The units we got were like TV sound bar format, with a camera in the middle. About $10-15k each.

They are priced high enough that companies doing this are already hip deep in Cisco's world. They probably already have the corporate surveillance thing going.
