New Video Conferencing Camera - the Huddly IQ
Posted by Ryan Pinke on 1/25/2019
Huddly AS, creators of Huddly GO, burst on the scene a few years ago with their GO camera, a purpose built video conferencing camera for the evolving huddle room and team work space. Last year, Huddly acquired Epigram (an AI startup) to help advance their capabilities with making "intelligent" cameras. I has paid off, because the resulting Huddly IQ is one of the most advanced and intelligent video cameras on the market today.
The IQ is a pure USB plug-and-play device, read to used immediately. They Huddly IQ "learns" over time and can accurately detect and count people within the camera's view in real time. This allows the camera to automatically frame meeting participants and perform advanced analytics and reporting. Huddly has already built a robust and capable hardware platform, with the next step being the continuous training of the camera, enabling it to provide valuable features to the end-user, such as capturing content and tracking of people’s movement and gestures.
Powerful Features of the Huddly IQ
- Intelligence built-in: An onboard neural engine allows IQ to see, understand and respond to its environment in real time. IQ takes away the need to control the camera by automating the user experience in smart new ways.
- Perfect framing of in-room participants: With Genius Framing, IQ can detect the people in its 150° wide-angle field of view and respond by automatically framing them, ensuring that you can focus on what really matters.
- Advanced data analytics: IQ gives organizations crucial insights into how their meeting spaces are being used, with high-quality analytics data accessible via the Huddly InSights API.
- USB plug-n-play: USB enabled Plug-and-Play device works easily with the most popular collaboration services without requiring you to download extra drivers or integration software.
