So Wainhouse Research took the time to review the HuddleCam Air along with various other video conferencing camera!

… USB-connected, motorized pan / tilt / zoom cameras under the brand name of HuddleCamHD.  The product line starts with the HuddleCamHD 3X (3x motorized zoom – list price of US $399) to the newly announced HuddleCamHD Air (12x or 20x motorized zoom – list price of US $3,599).  In the weeks leading up to EC, CRS heavily promoted the Air as the first wireless USB camera on the market.  According to the specs, Air operates at 5 GHz and works at distances up to 80 feet (25 meters), which means it can replace wired cameras in most conference rooms and even some auditoriums.  Air also offers onboard streaming capabilities.  From WR’s perspective, the concept of a wireless USB camera is very interesting.  However, given the need for wired power and the relatively large size of the device, we question how many no-brainer applications there are for such a device – beyond the ability to avoid the dreaded video cable between the camera and the codec.
