 ProHello looks to solve one of the biggest video call issues A 13-megapixel 
sensor delivers crisp 4K resolution video conferencing visuals HDR correction 
ensures balanced lighting for users in difficult conditions, and stereo 
microphones with noise cancellation enhance clarity during noisy calls 

Video communication has become an essential part of how people work, study, 
and connect across distances, but they're far from most people's favorite 
ways to stay in touch. 

ProHello, the newest release from iContact Camera, was developed to address 
one of the more persistent problems of online meetings: the lack of natural 
eye contact. 

By using a retractable arm that aligns the camera directly with the users 
eyes, the device attempts to recreate the feeling of face-to-face 
communication during video conferencing . Eye-level design and imaging 
features 

At its core, ProHello functions as a business webcam that emphasizes 
presence. 

The design supports a 13-megapixel sensor that records at 4K resolution, with 
automatic focus, exposure adjustment, and HDR correction. 

Stereo microphones with noise cancellation are built into the body, while 
optional LED lighting can be added for better clarity in low-light 
conditions. 

Together, these features are intended to ensure both image and sound quality 
remain consistent, whether in a home office or a corporate environment. 

Another element that distinguishes ProHello from a standard webcam is its 
integration with Windows Hello facial recognition, meaning users can sign 
into their systems simply by facing the camera, avoiding typed passwords and 
relying instead on biometric verification. 

There is a mechanical privacy switch that powers down the main lens and 
microphones when folded away, while leaving recognition capabilities intact 
for system access. 

This device is an evolution of earlier iContact Camera designs, following 
feedback from previous backers, and changes were made to the mounting, 
controls, and lighting. 

There are already a good number of established alternatives offering 
high-resolution sensors and audio support, so the true advantage(s) of 
ProHello will depend on how effectively its eye-contact mechanism works in 
everyday settings. 

The Kickstarter campaign for ProHello has drawn significant attention. With 
only 3 hours left at the time of writing, it recorded $237,511 pledged by 
1,145 backers, far above its original $10,000 goal.
