[Glossary](https://telxpress.com/glossary/) / Audio visual # Auto-framing camera An **auto-framing camera** is a meeting-room camera that uses AI to detect the people present and zoom, pan and crop, so remote participants see faces clearly instead of a wide shot of an empty table. - Audio visual - Updated October 11, 2026 - Written by the Telxpress advisory team 01 In depth ## What it is, why it matters and *what to ask a vendor* Auto-framing cameras track the room with on-device processing. Modes vary by manufacturer: group framing keeps everyone present in view, speaker tracking zooms to whoever is talking, and some systems compose a gallery of individual faces so a full room appears as separate tiles. Multi-camera rooms switch between angles automatically. For a growing business the benefit is equity between the room and remote participants: people on the far end can read expressions and follow who is speaking, which keeps hybrid meetings productive. It also removes the need for anyone in the room to operate the camera, which in practice nobody does. Ask an integrator which framing modes the camera supports and how fast it reacts, how it behaves when people stand or move to a whiteboard, whether it works natively with your room platform (Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms), how it is mounted relative to the display, and whether it can be disabled for privacy. Ask to see it in a room the size of yours, with people moving. 02 Related terms ## Terms that usually come up *alongside it* - Audio visual ### [Video conferencing room](https://telxpress.com/glossary/video-conferencing-room/) A video conferencing room is a meeting space with a display, camera, microphones and a room system such as Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms, so meetings start with one touch and remote participants hear everyone. - Voice ### [Speech-to-text](https://telxpress.com/glossary/speech-to-text/) Speech-to-text (STT) is the technology that converts spoken words into written text in real time; it is the first stage of an AI voice agent and the basis of call transcripts, captions and meeting notes. - Audio visual ### [Digital signage](https://telxpress.com/glossary/digital-signage/) Digital signage is a network of displays in lobbies, waiting rooms, showrooms and work areas that show scheduled content such as welcomes, menus, promotions, wayfinding and live data, managed centrally from a web console. - Network ### [PoE (Power over Ethernet)](https://telxpress.com/glossary/poe/) Power over Ethernet (PoE) delivers power to devices such as phones, Wi-Fi access points, cameras and room controllers through the same network cable that carries their data, so no outlet is needed at the device. 03 At Telxpress ## Where this shows up *at Telxpress* The pages and articles where this term does real work: what we advise, build and support. - Page ### [Conference Room AV & Digital Signage](https://telxpress.com/solutions/business-technology/audio-visual/) Conference rooms, displays, video conferencing, digital signage and sound systems designed for AI-enabled meetings and installed by our Irvine team. - Page ### [AI Agents & Business Automation](https://telxpress.com/solutions/ai/) AI voice, sales and support agents plus CRM and workflow automation, deployed and supported by our team.
