Q.
Should I mount my Cisco Unified Video Camera on my phone or on my computer monitor?
A.
For casual video calling, a camera mounted directly on the phone is recommended. If you plan to turn to
face your computer monitor often (for example, if you are presenting slides), a camera mounted on monitor
might be preferable. Experiment with both and see what works best for you.
If you prefer to mount your camera on your computer monitor, ask your system administrator for a camera
mounting clip and USB extension cable.
Q.
How can I keep my Cisco Unified Video Camera secure to prevent theft?
A.
If you are concerned about theft, you can place the camera in a locked drawer when not in use. If you plan
to remove the camera regularly for this reason, consider attaching the camera to a USB extension cable
(available from your system administrator) rather than mounting the camera directly on the phone.
