HuddleCamHD, manufacturer of USB-based video conferencing cameras and audio solutions, announces two new electronic PTZ webcams: The HuddleCamHD Pro (USB 3.0), certified by Zoom Video Communications, and the Pro IP (4K NDI*). These 4K webcams come with a handheld IR remote to control PTZ functions. Both models feature 4K video, a dual-microphone array, and clamp to a monitor or attach to a tripod designed to be a simplified video conferencing and livestreaming solution for all applications.
“With today’s virtual work, learn, and entertain movements, having the right AV production equipment plays a major role in our ability to deliver engaging content and online experiences,” says Paul Richards, director of business development for HuddleCamHD. “Whether you’re running a Zoom meeting, hosting a YouTube or Facebook Live show, or creating an instructional video, the HuddleCamHD Pro is the ideal all-in-one audio and video hardware solution. There is no better entry-point electronic PTZ webcam on the market, period.”
Versatility & Mobility
Built into the HuddleCamHD Pro and Pro IP is a monitor clamp that attaches to a LCD or laptop display, and each camera can be wall-mounted. Both models also include an industry standard quarter-twenty connection to attach the camera to any tripod or camera mount. A plug-and-play solution, users may plug in the HuddleCamHD Pro USB 3.0 connector to any Mac, PC, or Linux computer, follow the instructions for one-time setup, and start recording or streaming with no additional software required. When in use, an LED light indicates that the video stream is being accessed by an application on your computer. More experienced users can dive into the HuddleCamHD Pro’s advanced video features including NDI virtual input, which allows camera operators to select the video feed from any camera located on a network. HuddleCamHD Pro works with most video production software including OBS, vMix, xSplit, Livestream Studio, Wirecast and Ecamm Live.
Ultra-Crisp Audio and Video
Featuring a large UHD CMOS sensor, the HuddleCamHD Pro and Pro IP take video conferencing and live streaming projects to the next level with crystal clear resolution and detail. Users can pan, tilt, zoom, and capture ultra-crisp 4K video with a wide 108-degree field of view and lossless digital zoom. Users can also discreetly zoom-in using the included IR remote. Designed for meeting room environments, the ‘auto-framing’ feature uses the intelligent 4K sensor to frame subjects in view. HuddleCamHD Pro and Pro IP also feature a dual-array microphone, making it a true all-in-one webcam solution.
Zoom Certified
With Zoom certification, the HuddleCamHD Pro allows camera users within a Zoom video conference to request or provide remote camera control for other meeting attendees. This model also supports electronic PTZ camera controls for Zoom Rooms.
Now available for order, the HuddleCamHD Pro is $329 US MSRP and the HuddleCamHD Pro IP is $549 US MSRP. Both models come with a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty. For product specifications and more information, visit: huddlecamhd.com/pro/.
