Cyber Acoustics has launched the WC-1000 webcam, a video-only camera that removes the built-in microphone entirely. The $24.99 device targets businesses and remote workers who already use dedicated headsets or speakerphones. By eliminating the mic, the company aims to solve common audio conflicts in platforms like Teams and Zoom where software mistakenly selects the wrong input device.

Without a built-in microphone, the WC-1000 reduces security risks and simplifies IT management. Organizations can standardize on approved audio devices across their workforce, creating a more controlled communications environment. The approach particularly benefits regulated industries and security-conscious companies that want to minimize potential audio vulnerabilities.

The WC-1000 delivers full HD 1080p video with autofocus and automatic light correction. It's compatible with Cyber Acoustics' range of audio products including the HS-1500BT II wireless headset with AI noise cancellation and the SP-2000 portable speakerphone. The camera is now available on Amazon and plugs directly into USB-A ports for easy setup.
