HP Poly Studio V12 USB Video Bar No Power Supply

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

The HP Poly Studio V12 USB Video Bar is one of those “simple when it works” solutions: you plug it in over USB, stick it on top of a monitor or TV, and you get a decent all-in-one video setup for everyday meetings. At £689.54 ex-VAT, I’d only buy it if you’re standardising meeting rooms where people don’t want faff with cameras, mounting kits, separate compute, or ongoing tinkering. For lean office setups, huddle rooms, or shared spaces where reliability and ease matter more than chasing the absolute best picture quality, it’s a sensible pick.

Why I might *not* recommend it: it’s priced like a proper installed solution, but it’s still a USB bar, so your results will be very dependent on the room setup (lighting, screen placement, and audio expectations). Also, since there’s “no power supply by HP” involved, check carefully how you’re powering/feeding it in your environment—anything that complicates installation or leaves you hunting for the right power/adapter situation is where value can disappear fast.

**Who should buy:** UK SMBs and resellers’ customers running mostly Teams/Zoom/Google Meet and wanting a consistent, low-maintenance camera bar for small-to-medium meeting spaces. **Who shouldn’t:** organisations trying to squeeze maximum performance per pound, or rooms with tricky lighting/acoustics where you’ll end up paying more (time and/or accessories) to get the results you actually want.
