Installation Instructions
Desktop Installation
When using the HuddleCamHD camera on a desk, make sure that it will stand level. If you want to use the camera on an incline, make sure the angle is less than 15 degrees to ensure that the camera’s pan and tilt mechanism operates normally.
Tripod Installation
When using the HuddleCamHD camera with a tripod, screw the tripod to the bottom of the camera. The tripod screw must fit the below specifications:
Note: Tripod must stand on a level surface.
USB Connection
Important Notes Regarding USB Connectivity:USB 3.0 ports are backward compatible with USB 2.0 devices. USB 2.0 ports are not completely forward compatible with USB 3.0 devices (some USB 3.0 devices will connect to USB 2.0 with limited functionality). External USB hubs should be avoided (i.e. give the camera its own USB port on the device) as they are not well suited to transmitting HD video reliably. USB extension systems must be fully compatible with the version of USB that you are using and must utilize an external power supply when required. Caution: Some “compatible” USB 3.0 extenders do not actually have the full 5Gbps bandwidth required for uncompressed HD video – so check bandwidth specs. Always connect the HuddleCamHD camera directly to the device in order to associate the UVC drivers before attempting to use any extension system. USB 3.0 power saving settings in the device’s operating system should be turned off completely for reliable USB 3.0 camera connectivity.
HuddleCamHD CamerasAll HuddleCamHD cameras utilize the UVC (USB Video Class) drivers that are built into Windows, Mac OS, and Linux to stream HD video to your device via your device’s USB port (USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 depending upon HuddleCamhD camera). When your device successfully recognizes the camera, your device will register the HuddleCamHD camera as an “imaging device”. You can see this in your Windows Device Manager program (type “device manager” into the Windows search tool) as shown in the screenshot, below:
In this example, you can see the HuddleCamHD camera in use connected as a fully functional USB 3.0 device (HuddleCamHD) as well as a USB 2.0 device with limited functionality (USB2.0 Camera).
If your device has not connected to or has not recognized the HuddleCamHD camera as an imaging device (in which case, you may see a new “unknown device”, “Westbridge” or “CYTFX3” labeled device show up in Device Manager’s “Universal Serial Bus Controllers” section rather than in the “Imaging Devices” section), the HuddleCamHD camera will not be available to programs that utilize a camera. In this case, try restarting the device and reconnecting the camera via USB (USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 depending upon the HuddleCamHd camera). Similarly, you can see a connected device in System Information on a MAC. See screenshot below:
In this example, you can see the HuddleCamHD camera in use connected as a fully functional USB 3.0 device “HuddleCamHD” as well as a “USB2.0 camera” with limited functionality (USB2.0 camera).
