Getting Started

▪EagleEye Cube USB Camera Overview
▪Powering On and Off
Poly EagleEye Cube is an electronic pan-tilt-zoom (ePTZ) USB camera.
EagleEye Cube USB Camera Overview
The EagleEye Cube USB camera supports 4K resolution and 5x zoom. It works with applications that
support standard USB peripherals, such as Microsoft Skype for Business, Zoom, and BlueJeans.
The EagleEye Cube USB camera supports both speaker framing and group framing. With speaker
framing enabled, the camera can determine which participant is actively speaking, and the camera then
frames the speaker. Group framing enables the camera to automatically focus on one or more speakers
to display them on the receiving end. As different participants speak or as the speakers move around, the
camera can frame them.
Note: The EagleEye Cube USB camera is best suited for huddle rooms or small conference rooms with
up to 12 call participants.
Powering On and Off
The EagleEye Cube USB device doesn’t have a power button. When you plug in the power cord, the
device turns on. The EagleEye Cube can be powered using USB 3.0 or PoE. It cannot power up with
USB 2.0.
