Choosing the Right Camera for Your Room

At HuddleCamHD we know that every space is different. That’s why we offer cameras with various fields of view and optical zoom options from 3X to 30X. For small rooms, we suggest the 3X for its wide field of view and affordable price point. The 3X is now available with built-in audio for an all-in-one deployment option called the HuddleCam 3XA. For medium rooms that are short and wide, you should consider a 3X Wide with USB 3.0. USB 3.0 will provide a noticeably higher quality picture when compared to USB 2.0.

USB 2.0 vs USB 3.0

USB 3.0 is 10 times faster than USB 2.0. That being said USB 2.0 is much less expensive to run cabling for and does not require a quad-core processor for optimal performance. Currently HuddleCamHD offers a wireless USB 2.0 extension system called the USB2Air. The USB2Air is currently a Windows only device which can support up to 30 Megabits of bandwidth per second.

Installation Options

Any HuddleCamHD camera can be wall, ceiling, or pole mounted. We suggest using one of the HuddleCamHD camera wall mounts when wall mounting the camera. These camera wall mounts are made in the USA and include all the necessary hardware for installation to any drywall, masonry or US 2-gang wall box. If you are ceiling mounting the camera you actually have two options: you can use a pole mount or a flush mount. The flush mount can be installed directly to any ceiling with included the hardware.

IR Remote Control

Every HuddleCamHD camera includes an IR remote control which can be used for camera PTZ and configuration. You will notice each IR remote control can operate up to 3 cameras. There is a switch on the back of each camera you can use to set the IR receiver in situations where you want to control multiple cameras from a single IR remote. There is an on screen display menu you can use to fine tune your camera settings (on all cameras except 3X and 10X 720). Setting and calling a presets can be done by pressing the set button and the number you which to set the preset to. Then to call the preset you simply press the number button you have assigned, then press call.

RS-232 Camera Control

Every HuddleCamHD camera includes RS-232 control which utilizes the SONY VISCA camera protocol. You can therefore control the camera from a AV control system such as a Crestron or AMX touch screen. You can convert the RS-232 DB9 cable to USB and control the camera with our VISCA Control Software as well which opens up a host of new features. Once setup properly you can control the camera from any computer, smart phone or tablet on your network.
