8 Things to Consider Before Purchasing a Lecture Capture System

2023-11-24

A well-architected, synchronized lecture capture system is a great way to improve the recording and listening experience. Therefore, we must think as hard as possible before purchasing the lecture capture system. As a leader in audio visual broadcast, in this post, we will be based on a deep background in market research and product development. Here are a few key factors you may need to consider in your selection and purchase process. Each key element is a direct hit to your heart, and we hope you can choose the lecture capture system that is best for you with our help.


With the primary goal of improving teaching and student experience, here are eight factors you can reference. By carefully considering these matters, you can make informed decisions.




1.     Goals and needs

When choosing a lecture capture system for your classroom or business conference room, you must be clear about your goals and requirements for purchasing a lecture capture system. In defining the requirements, you must know what content you want to record, whether a small in-house lecture, a public presentation, or a medical practice experiment. Different recording content requires additional recording quality, functionality, and scalability requirements. For example, when you are holding business strategy meetings, a meeting camera capable of auto framing and zooming in and zooming out gives us a more detailed view of the Speaker's strategy.


2.     Budget

Before you buy a lecture capture system, you need to have a reasonable budget that considers your company's needs and finances, such as purchasing costs, deployment and maintenance costs, and the long-term return on investment of the system.


3.    Technical environmental requirements

You need to evaluate your classroom facilities and existing technology infrastructure. Ensure your classroom is equipped with proper network connections, cameras, microphones, and audio equipment to support the regular operation of the classroom recording system.


4. User-friendly

You also need to choose a system that is easy to use and operate to ensure that teachers and students can easily use the recording system. With its intuitive interface, precise function, and easy navigation, the procedure can improve teaching efficiency. Choose a lecture capture system that is very hard to use and requires complex setup and operations before each recording. It will not only add to your workload, but it is also easy to discourage the dissemination and sharing of knowledge.


5. Recording quality

One of the lecture capture system's two core elements is the recording and transmission of sound quality. Consider the video and audio quality of the recording system. A good lecture capture system should provide clear video and high-quality audio to ensure students can effectively understand and review classroom content. Let's say you're a teacher working to improve students' IELTS test scores and help them apply for the dream study offer. Suppose you're playing audio to enhance students' listening skills, and the microphone's sound is poor. In that case, students are likelier to hear "broke" as "brought" or " discussed" as " diseases". These errors can affect a teacher's judgment of teaching outcomes, and it is also easy to discourage students from studying.




6. Storage and access

It is also essential to check the specification chart on the product page or to communicate with customer service to determine if the lecture capture system has sufficient storage capacity. Audio and video often need a large amount of memory to save and record, especially for the high accuracy requirements of video. High-capacity storage and high-compatibility access ensure the audience can easily access and review the content. Besides, whether the lecture capture system supports FTP protocol is also a factor that we need to take into consideration. Delivering the recorded courses to the FTP server allows larger storage for course review and access afterward. We've discussed the significance of lecture capture system accessibility in previous articles, and you can see the positive effects of its accessibility for students to access learning materials anytime, anywhere.


7. Transport packaging

It is a matter of national pride to browse the procurement website and see that your country has a state-of-the-art lecture capture system. However, the better and more appropriate lecture capture system for your scenarios will likely be a more innovative and high-quality product from other countries. In the process of shipping, packaging is often a headache time. A well-protected, well-packaged transportation service is essential, especially for electronic equipment with complex internal components that require the completion of complicated work projects. After all, no one expects to pick out and wait patiently for the product to arrive by sea, only to open the package and discover that it's just a bunch of broken firmware that doesn't work.


8. After-sales service and technical guidance

Not all lecture capture system consumers are IT experts or advanced electronics repairmen. Finding a brand that provides timely, responsive, professional after-sales service is also essential. Sometimes, these services will not appear in the same after-sales service. Some after-sales service is good at the technical level of operational guidance and often not familiar with the operation of customer patience, thus bringing the communication aspect contradiction, bringing a bad consumptive experience to the consumer. Some after-sales services may have a very gentle understanding of consumer psychology. However, equipment failure and key technical solutions are unknown. So, when you pick a lecture capture system, you should also consider the quality of service and professionalism of the brand's after-sales team.

In addition, the response rate for after-sales service is also significant because sometimes the breakdown of the lecture capture system will suddenly appear in a serious situation; it is a pleasure to fix problems and equipment problems on time and to keep essential meetings running smoothly, even if the temporary equipment failure is a little uncomfortable.
