Nearity 360 Alien is a smarter, more scalable alternative to Owl 4+, built for clearer video, wider audio coverage, and easier deployment, and for flexible hybrid meetings beyond small huddle rooms. Its true 4K UHD four-lens camera system delivers sharper, distortion-free views than single-lens 360° cameras, while expansion mics extend voice pickup well beyond small rooms. With ProperClean™ 2.0 AI audio and a plug-and-play wireless dongle, Alien ensures stable, professional meetings—no complex setup, no compromises—making it the smarter choice for modern hybrid teams.

Four True 4K Cameras for Superior Visual Clarity

Instead of relying on a single fisheye lens, 360 Alien uses four true 4K UHD cameras working together to capture every angle with consistent sharpness. This multi-camera design avoids distortion and edge blur, delivering clearer faces, smoother speaker transitions, and a more accurate visual experience—especially in hybrid meetings.

Clear, Scalable Audio with Expansion Mic Support

360 Alien features a 6 omnidirectional microphone array powered by ProperClean™ 2.0 noise, echo, and reverberation cancellation, delivering clear, natural voices across the table. For larger rooms, support for up to two expansion microphones extends audio pickup even further—ensuring everyone is heard clearly, without repetition or disruption.

Better Price, Higher Quality

By selling directly through our DTC model, we eliminate costly multi-layer reseller markups common in traditional conference solutions. This saves customers at least 30% in total cost, while delivering higher hardware quality, transparent pricing, and direct access to personalized support from the manufacturer.

Expert Help at Your Fingertips

Our dedicated support team provides product guidance, training, and technical assistance within one business day, ensuring faster deployment, smoother operation, and long-term success—without relying on third-party resellers.

ProperClean™ 2.0 Removes Noise, Echo & Reverberation

Conferencing spaces often suffer from real-world audio issues: glass walls causing echoes, open layouts creating reverb, and background noise interfering with the speaker.
The ProperClean™ 2.0 audio tech tackles these challenges head-on with AI noise filtering and echo&reverberation suppression. Voices stay smooth and natural without volume pumping or sudden drops. Even in complex acoustic environments, Alien delivers professional-grade clarity that feels effortless.

Zero-Cable Setup with Secure Wireless Dongle

Traditional 360° systems require Wi-Fi pairing, app installations, or permanent cable routing—often demanding IT support or costly room modifications.
With 360 Alien, none of that is necessary. The included encrypted wireless transceiver: just plug it into your laptop, and you’re ready to meet. No apps, no network permissions, no confusion. This wireless workflow cuts setup time to seconds, eliminates cable clutter, and removes Wi-Fi as a potential failure point.

True 4K UHD lens x4

Unlike traditional 360° cameras that rely on distorted edge views, 360 Alien uses 4 true 4K 120° UHD lenses, capturing its best frontal angle with Star-VIS Sensor, ensuring sharper details and a perfectly natural view.

6 Omnidirectional Microphones

The built-in 6 omni-microphones capture sound from all directions, even from a distance of up to 6 meters, making it an excellent choice for conference room cameras.

83dB Full-Duplex Speaker

The integrated Hi-Fi full-duplex speaker transmits the voices of absent participants as if they were right there in the room, providing an immersive experience.

Buyer's FAQ

Traditional 360° meeting cameras often rely on the blurry edge areas of a single lens to capture participants, which can result in image distortion, delays, and missed facial details. The 360 Alien video conferencing camera solves this by using four 120° lenses that seamlessly cover the full 360° range. This design ensures each participant is captured with maximum clarity and precision—no blind spots, no stitching lines, just smooth and natural interaction.

You can connect up to 2 expansion mic AM01. The 360 Alien’s built-in microphones cover a 5.5-meter radius, while each expansion mic adds an additional 3-meter radius. With both expansion mics, you can cover an area of approximately 16m × 5m, ensuring every participant is heard clearly.

A 30° automatic exclusion zone prevents the camera from capturing displays or walls behind it, keeping participants in focus and eliminating distractions from the background.

The wireless dongle eliminates the need for costly cable installation and the safety hazards of tangled wires in the meeting room. Simply plug it in, and you can start your meeting within seconds—secure, seamless, and hassle-free.

The Nearity 360 Alien offers three distinct modes tailored for various video conference scenarios:
Discussion mode: All four lenses work together with voice and face detection to automatically frame up to four active speakers—seamlessly, without any blind spots or stitching lines. Ideal for roundtable or panel discussions.
Global mode: Keeps a steady 120° wide-angle view from a selected main lens. Switch the main view anytime via the remote to focus on a new speaker. Perfect for presentations requiring a stable, distraction-free view.
Presentation mode: Dynamically tracks and zooms in on the current speaker, adjusting the frame in real-time based on voice and movement—ideal for interactive sessions or team collaboration.

When connected via USB cable or wireless dongle, it outputs at 4K HD with a smooth frame rate of 30 fps, while HDMI output is 1080P@60fps

Yes, Nearity 360 Alien supports full-duplex communication, allowing multiple speakers to be heard clearly and simultaneously.

The effective pickup distance for the microphone in the Nearity 360 Alien is up to 5 meters radius (approximately 16 feet), which can capture clear audio from all directions within a meeting room.

It works with nearly all web-based video conferencing software, including Zoom, Google Meet, Skype for business, Microsoft Teams, Webex, etc.

Plug the power adapter into an outlet. Then, plug the USB/wireless dongle into your computer, open up your video conferencing software of choice, and select the Nearity 360 Alien as your mic, camera, speaker. There are no drivers required to download, it just works.

Yes, you can adjust the camera angle and zoom during a meeting with the Nearity 360 Alien. This video conference camera is equipped with a remote control that allows you to easily zoom in and out, as well as reposition the camera to focus on different participants or content being shared.

360 Alien delivers what telemedicine demands. It provides the essential visual and auditory detail—crystal-clear video for assessment and premium audio for respiratory sounds, making high-quality remote diagnosis our reality. It's no longer just a piece of equipment; it's the new standard for our remote practice.

“ We used OWL 3 for its immersive 360° experience, but the poor video quality always bothered us. After switching to 360 Alien, the improvement was immediate. The true 4K UHD video delivers clear, accurate visuals across the room, making meetings noticeably more productive. ”

Petter.Z

As our leader who's constantly moving, tangled cables were a major disruption—a tripping hazard that required calling for help to reset. But now, the wireless dongle creates a safer, more professional environment. This makes us free to move and focus 100% on capturing the non-verbal cues and dynamic interplay during role-plays. Love it!

360 Alien gives me the freedom to teach my hybrid art class naturally. Its Presentation Mode intelligently tracks me around the studio, so remote students get a perfect, up-close view of the true-to-life 4K color and brushwork, just as if they were standing beside me. It has truly leveled the playing field for our discussions!
