HuddleCamHD 4k ePTZ Itself is Impressive
By Jamie G
The HuddleCamHD webcams are the most powerful webcams on the internet. Both the USB 4K EPTZ and the 4K EPTZ webcam with NDI are quite impressive with 108-degree horizontal field of view and 56.25-degree vertical field of view. Since the pandemic started, the world needed a solution to connect with each other. The HuddleCamHD webcams are an exciting addition to the webcam market and are a great solution for remote production.
Mark Hanna from Church Production gives his review of the HuddleCamHD Pro webcams. Check out some highlights from his review.
“When it comes to the I/O, the ePTZ has some exciting options. There are two versions of this camera; one has superspeed USB 3.0 and HDMI ports and the other has a Standard USB and NDI port. If you already have an IP video infrastructure, adding the ePTZ via NDI is an excellent option because the camera can be controlled by mobile apps or production software like OBS, Wirecast, vMix, TriCaster, Livestream Studio, MimoLive, and hardware controllers such as Crestron, Extron, PTZOptics IP Joystick, and Elgato StreamDeck. If you don’t have the infrastructure for it, simply use the USB version. Both feature a beamforming directional microphone array for capturing audio.”

“In conclusion, many churches have revamped and made serious changes to go to an online-only format. Some churches are currently streaming with whatever consumer camera they were able to beg, borrow, or steal from the congregation. In that case, being able to use a professional quality webcam like the HuddleCamHD ePTZ, right into OBS, offers a significant upgrade with less moving parts. Also, being able to switch through a few different shots during a worship service using just one camera raises the overall production value of your webstream. Even without having volunteers available, the EPTZ can do almost all the work using the auto-reframing feature.”

“Before the quarantine, I would never have suggested that a church’s tech team use the webcam for their online streaming. That said, I think with everyone attending online meetings, the expectations for online video have changed and become more forgiving. As a result, a full-featured webcam might be the right tool for the job–and with the starting price of $329, the HuddleCamHD 4k ePTZ could be a cost-effective solution that can raise the production of webstream without breaking the bank or sacrificing quality.”
