Interactive Panel with Camera and Mic: A Buyer Guide for Hybrid Meeting Rooms
Guide to an interactive panel with camera and mic for hybrid meeting rooms: 13 MP or 48 MP camera, 8-array mic, sizes and October 2026 EXW prices by IKAR.
Quick answer
An interactive panel with camera and mic is a touch screen for the meeting room that has the video camera and an 8-array microphone built in, so remote colleagues see and hear the whole room without a separate camera bar, speaker puck or extra cables. On the IKAR October 2026 EXW list (confirm before ordering), the camera and microphone is an add-on of $43 for a 13 MP camera or $50 for a 48 MP camera, priced on top of the panel.
This guide is written for hybrid meeting room buyers: the facility manager, IT lead or integrator who must make one room work for people at the table and people on a laptop at home.

01What an interactive panel with camera and mic does in a hybrid room
A hybrid meeting has two audiences. The people in the room need a big, clear screen they can write on. The people online need to see faces and hear every voice. Most rooms solve this with three separate devices: a display, a camera bar and a speakerphone. Each one has its own cable, power adapter, settings and update routine.
An interactive panel with camera and mic puts the camera and the microphone array in the same body as the touch screen. The camera sits at the front of the room, on the same wall the team looks at. That means remote guests see people facing roughly toward them while they talk to the screen. The 8-array microphone listens from several points at once, so a voice at the far end of the table is not left to a single small speakerphone in the middle.
The same panel also runs the whiteboard and annotation that make a meeting useful. You can sketch on a shared slide while the remote side watches, with no extra device to start.
Back to contents ↑02What hybrid meeting room buyers should check first
Start with the room, not the spec sheet. Measure how deep it is and note where the furthest person sits, because the camera has to see that seat clearly. Find out whether the team uses one video-call platform or several, and ask how the panel connects to yours before you order. Think about who maintains the room: one device is easier for a small IT team than three. Finally, decide whether the panel hangs on a wall or moves around, since that limits the size you can pick and sets the packing you need.
If you buy for many rooms, write these answers once and use them as the order template. Rooms that look alike are easier to install, test and repair.

03Camera choice: 13 MP or 48 MP
IKAR offers two camera options inside the panel: 13 MP and 48 MP. The 13 MP version costs $43 more and suits small and mid-size rooms where people sit close to the screen. The 48 MP version costs $50 more and is the one to ask about for a longer room or a larger table. The difference between the two on the October 2026 EXW list is only $7 (confirm before ordering), so for a room you are unsure about, the higher option is a small step on the full price of the panel.
A higher megapixel number does not fix poor lighting. Place the panel on a wall without a bright window behind the speakers, and the picture will look better with either camera. Our conference room panel with a built-in camera is one model to review if you want to see how a camera-equipped panel is presented.
Back to contents ↑04Microphone: why the 8-array design matters
Poor sound ruins a hybrid meeting faster than a poor picture. Remote guests put up with a soft image, but they stop listening when they cannot hear the speaker. A microphone array uses several small microphones working together, so it can pick up speech from different parts of the room. IKAR builds the 8-array microphone in with the camera as one add-on, so you buy and install one system instead of matching a camera to a separate audio device.
To get the best result, keep the panel away from echo-heavy walls where you can, and avoid placing noisy equipment next to it. Put people in the far seats and test the room before you roll the setup out to the rest of your rooms.

Add $43 for the built-in 13 MP camera and 8-array microphone, or $50 for the 48 MP camera and microphone. A wooden crate is an optional add-on: $23 on the 65, 75, 85 and 86 inch sizes, $30 on the 98 inch size and $52 on the 110 inch size. Prices move with panel costs, and custom functions are quoted separately.
Back to contents ↑06Choosing the screen size for your meeting room
Size follows room depth and the number of seats. A 65 or 75 inch panel fits a small huddle room. The 85 and 86 inch sizes suit a mid-size meeting room, and the 98 and 100 inch sizes suit a long board table where the back row is far from the screen. The 110 inch size is a special case at a much higher price, so it makes sense only for a very large room.
The four-way split-screen multi-screen interaction on these panels is useful in hybrid use: one corner can hold the video call while the rest of the screen shows a shared document. Our 98 inch interactive panel is a good model to review for the largest standard room.
Also check the packed size before you buy. A 98 inch panel ships at 2370 x 230 x 1440 mm and weighs 95 kg net, so measure lifts, doors and corridors before delivery day.
Back to contents ↑07Checklist before you order a panel with camera and mic

09FAQ: interactive panel with camera and mic
Do I still need a separate camera if the panel has one built in?
Usually not. The built-in camera and 8-array microphone cover the room from the front, so a separate camera bar and speakerphone become optional. If your room is unusual, for example very long or split by a pillar, ask IKAR to review the layout before you order. You can also test one pilot room first.
How much does the camera and microphone add to the price?
On the October 2026 EXW list, the built-in camera and 8-array microphone add $43 for a 13 MP camera or $50 for a 48 MP camera. This is per set on top of the panel price, and you should confirm it before ordering because prices move with panel costs. Custom functions are quoted separately from the standard list.
Which panel size is best for a hybrid meeting room?
Choose by room depth and seat count. A 65 or 75 inch panel suits a small room, 85 or 86 inch suits a mid-size room, and 98 or 100 inch suits a long board room. Check the packed size and weight before you order, because the larger panels need wider doors and more people to move.
What are the minimum order, lead time and warranty?
The minimum order is 1 set, so you can pilot one room first. Lead time is 7-9 days and the warranty is 1 year. Payment is T/T, and we quote EXW, FOB, CIF or DDP. We ship by express courier, air freight or sea freight, depending on the size of the panel and the speed you need for delivery.
Can the panel carry our brand and software setup?
Yes, on request. We can add your logo and packaging, and we can set up the software configuration for your team. Size, panel, chipset and memory options are also open to custom quotes. Custom work is priced separately from the standard October 2026 EXW list, so confirm the scope and cost before you order.
