Compatible Cameras and Coverage
Each AM01 adds a 3-meter pickup radius to the camera's built-in range.
Camera | Built-in Coverage | + 1 AM01 | + 2 AM01s |
Nearity 360 Alien | 5.5m radius | 8.5m radius | ~16m × 5m area |
Nearity 120 Max | 5m radius | 8m radius | ~11m radius |
Nearity V30S | 5m radius | ~13m × 5m area | Not supported |
The AM01 connects to the camera, not to your computer or NearHub Board. It will not function as a standalone USB microphone.

When to Use the AM01
Add an AM01 when participants are seated beyond the camera's built-in microphone range. Typical cases:
- Large conference rooms or boardrooms with 12+ participants
- U-shaped or training room layouts where participants are spread across a wide area
For rooms where all participants are within 5 meters of the camera, the AM01 is not needed.
