Terrible documentation, useless for this camera

Terrible documentation. The small cheap camera we used gave a much better picture than this one. It has white balance settings but I can't find anywhere how to adjust it with the remote control or other camera settings. The loadable controls are a joke. It just moves the camera like a remote control and setting presets makes no sense. All in all the only positive thing I can say is the decent zoom. I hope that the company will either provide or return the documents hidden somewhere.

Pros
  • Solid surface
Cons
  • Doubtful

Otherwise this works great.

Works great but I need a 10x model as the pulpit in our church is about 60 feet from where I wanted it. I had to mount it on the side panel instead, but it works until I can afford a more expensive model. Otherwise this works great.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Something is wrong

The price is correct!

I purchased this as part of a demo project for the church I belong to. We needed to stream a live service with the best compromise between quality and affordability. I expected the church to invest in better hardware after integrating it with Tripod, Tripod and the AMCap software. The result surprised me. Many months later, my church is still using this proof-of-concept, demo setup to live stream a service!

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Some cons

Great company, great PTZ with remote, crappy USB resolution

Got this camera this week and tried it yesterday. We were very happy to have an affordable PTZ camera option (with pan and tilt/zoom) so we decided to give this one a try. The PTZ feature on this camera is amazing and works great! Although this camera says it's HD, HD doesn't work over USB. Since it's only USB 2.0 and the camera doesn't compress images well, the USB bus can't handle the amount of data the camera is trying to send if you're trying to use a high resolution. This was especially…

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Long time

Great Webcam Utility

Depending on how you install, aim and position this camera, it can be useful. I found that despite zooming in and out, zooming in would be more useful. It can simply be a question of optimal installation in a central location. Pairing with FaceTime, for example, is much more efficient than with Zoom. It could be a log with the Zoom software. Overall this is a very good device and the picture quality is MUCH better than the MAC camera on a computer. Better in every way.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Damaged

This is a great PTZ camera for the money. We have two more PTZ cameras with 10x zoom. A huddlecam ($900) and a PTZ optic. ($1600) This is great in our large room that needs 10x magnification. This type ($400) is perfect for our small conference room/table. If I had to redo I'd buy black instead of white (a bit more sophisticated aesthetically) but instead I'm looking for an Imperial Walker to use as a base to round off the look of the new little stormtrooper in our conference room. .

Pros
  • Finally bought it
Cons
  • Factor Set

HuddleCamHD 3x USB PTZ camera worth a look

After a few bumps in the road I can say that the HuddleCamHD 3x PTZ camera is worth a look. This is a very reliable PTZ camera for the price. If you are a small business and on a fairly tight budget, $400 is the real deal when it comes to PTZ cameras for conferencing. The initial issues I had with HuddleCamHD 3x PTZ cameras were mostly homegrown. Since it comes with a remote control, I started pressing the buttons and hitting the wrong ones. The remote control accepts up to 3 cameras. I enjoyed

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • No automatic steering
