USB Conference Cameras with PTZ Control - Webcams for Zoom Video Conferencing (3X, Black)

After a few bumps in the road I can now say the HuddleCamHD 3x PTZ camera is worth looking at. It is a very robust PTZ camera for the price. If you’re a small business and on a pretty tight budget, at $400.00 this is a real bargain when it comes to PTZ conferencing cameras. The initial problems I had with the HuddleCamHD 3x PTZ camera were mostly self-made. Since it comes with a remote I started pushing buttons and I pushed the wrong ones. The remote will accept up to 3 cameras. I my zest at pushing buttons, I either pushed the button for camera 2, or maybe 3. After my pushing buttons frenzy, I could not get the HuddleCam to work (period) and at first I did not know why. After visiting the user manual and finally figured it out. Once I selected the camera 1 button the HuddleCamHD came back to life. The Pros: Economical ($400.00). You won’t find a PTZ camera anywhere that I know of at this price. Works great with programs like Skype for video conferencing. Can be used with most video encoders for live streaming or creating videos. I do know it works well with vMix live video encoder. 2-Year warranty. HuddleCamHD 3x can be setup by just about anyone in a few minutes USB (2.0) connection will allow for use with older computers that do not have USB 3.0. Note, the HuddleCamHD is however backward compatible to USB 3.0. Camera best used in small conference rooms or studios 360 degree rotation so it can pick up the entire room The Cons: The HuddleCamHD 3x does not accept bright lighting well. It works best in subdued lighting; like the type of lighting found in most conference rooms. Short zoom. Don’t expect this camera to work for large conference areas. The lens is a trade-off for the price of the camera. It is not a super high-quality lens as found in PTZ cameras costing much more. One thing you may notice is colors are not quite true. USB 2.0 vs. higher priced USB 3.0 PTZ cameras as a rule produce much better video. HuddleCamHD-3XG2 USB 2.0 PTZ 1080p Video Conference Camera - Black

I bought this as part of a demo project for the church I belong to. We needed to live stream the service with the best trade off between quality and affordability. I had expected the church to invest in better equipment after I integrated it with a boom speaker, tripod and AMCap software. The result surprised me. After many months, my church is still using this proof of concept, demo setup, to live stream the church service!

This is a great ptz camera for the money. We have two other 10x ptz cameras...one Huddlecam ($900) and one PTZ optics. ($1600) Those are super in our larger room where the 10x in needed. This guy ($400) is perfect for our small conference room/table gatherings. If I had it to do over I might have bought black instead of white (a little more subtle aesthetically) but instead I'm looking for an Imperial Walker model to use as a base to finish out the look of our conference room's new little Stormtrooper.

I bought the HuddleCamHD 10X USB2 Video Conferencing Camera to teach my lomilomi (Hawaiian Healing Massage) class on Zoom. Although there was only one 4 star review on Amazon, there were tons of info on the HuddleCam via Youtube so I felt comfortable buying a pricey product (well for me, it is). I wanted a conference camera that could zoom in close enough to show my students my hand placements as I teach them different pressure points on the body. Before purchasing the HuddleCam I needed a cameraman when I taught class, so I could massage and show close up shots of the different pressure points we use. Now I just need a tripod, camera, and remote. Dislikes: 1) I paid for a new HuddleCam, but I got a customer RETURN product. How do I know! The mounting bracket was in a sandwich bag and one of the cords was not professionally wound. 2) When I plugged the camera in for the first time, it did its start-up dance and when it was all over the camera was facing backward, instead of forward and center in the home position. I unplugged the camera and plugged it back in hoping the camera would recalibrate and work how it should, but again after it did its start-up dance it ended up in the wrong position facing backward. I used the remote to turn the camera to the center, then tried to continue the rotation through the whole 350 degrees but it wouldnʻt pass the midline and the blue light just kept blinking. I unplugged it, then I manually turn the camera to see if it was stuck or free moving. As I tried turning it pass the centerline it made a click sound like I unlocked something. I plugged it in and it started working as it should. I used it to teach a couple of classes but now it's not working again. It does not want to pass the centerline. Good thing I bought the ASURION PROTECTION PLAN because now I need to use it. Likes: 1) Plug and play 2) 10x Zoom capability: Being able to focus on my hands and close-ups of body and pressure points were great. 3) Pre-sets: Being able to set up different focal points, and being able to access them easily with 2 clicks is awesome 4) Clear picture until you zoom in ridiculously close, then gets a little pixelated. 5) Automatically adapts brightness and focus in different lighting. 6) Capable of changing settings, but I don't know how to and never got to use it yet because I wanted to make an appointment with HuddleCam to get a personal session on how to use my camera to the fullest. I will do it after I take care of business with ASURION PROTECTION PLAN. Overall I wish it was working how I seen on the You Tube Videos because I like the camera and I was wavering between a 2 or 3 star review rating because I didn’t even have it for a month and it broke. But I like the product that if it was working maybe I would buy 2, but we’ll see after the protection plan business

It was very easy to set up and get going. Just plug and play.

Works very well. We use it with Google Hangouts, with a laptop and a MXL AC404 USB mic. The only thing we miss out on here, is the ability for someone on the other end to change the view + zoom of the camera - not a big deal.

awesome camera for boardrooms
