Important Notes Regarding USB Connectivity
_____________________
USB 3.0 ports are backwards 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 and external power supply, when required. Always connect the HuddlCam directly
to the device in order to associate the UVC drivers before attempting to USB any extension
system.
USB power saving settings in the device’s operating system should be turned off completely for
reliable USB camera connectivity.
HuddleCam Cameras

Video (General to all HuddleCamHD models)
All 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 HuddleCam model). When your device successfully recognizes
the camera, your device will register the HuddleCam as an “image device”. You can see this in
your Windows Device Manager program (type “device manager” into the Windows se
arch tool)
as shown in the screenshot, below:
