Huddly 7090043790979 USB Adapter for L1

Product Overview

The Huddly USB Adapter (SKU: 7090043790979) enables USB 3.0 plug-and-play connectivity for the Huddly L1 and S1 cameras, which are natively PoE (Power over Ethernet) devices. By converting the camera's RJ45 PoE connection to a standard USB 3.0 interface, this adapter allows the L1 and S1 to be connected directly to conference room computers and USB-based codecs without requiring a network infrastructure deployment. It is also compatible with the Huddly Crew system.

Product Description

The Huddly L1 and S1 are high-end ceiling-mount conference cameras designed for network (PoE/Ethernet) deployment. In environments where a network-based deployment is not practical or desired, the Huddly USB Adapter provides an alternative path: it connects between the camera's RJ45 port and a USB 3.0 host port, presenting the camera as a standard USB device to the connected computer or codec.

This adapter is a required accessory for any USB-based deployment of the L1 or S1. Without it, these cameras can only operate over an Ethernet network connection. The adapter supports SuperSpeed USB 3.0, ensuring the full resolution and frame-rate capabilities of the L1 and S1 cameras are maintained over the USB connection. Installation is straightforward: connect the adapter to the camera's RJ45 output and plug the USB 3.0 connector into the host device.

For AV integrators and IT administrators who need to deploy L1 or S1 cameras in rooms without dedicated network drops at the camera location, or who prefer a direct USB topology for simpler system architecture, this adapter provides a reliable and officially supported solution from Huddly.

Key Features

• RJ45 to USB 3.0 Conversion — Converts the L1 and S1 camera's PoE RJ45 output to a USB 3.0 connection compatible with standard computers and codecs.
• Required for USB Deployment — This adapter is a necessary component for any USB-based installation of the Huddly L1 or S1 camera.
• SuperSpeed USB 3.0 — Maintains full camera performance with USB 3.0 bandwidth, supporting the camera's full resolution and frame rate output.
• Compatible with Huddly Crew, L1, and S1 — Officially supported for use across the Huddly ceiling-mount and AI camera portfolio.
• Plug-and-Play Operation — No additional configuration required; the camera is recognized as a standard USB device once the adapter is connected.

Typical Applications

• USB deployment of Huddly L1 ceiling-mount cameras in conference rooms without network drops at the camera position
• Huddly S1 camera installations connected directly to a room PC, Mac, or USB codec
• AV integrations where a simplified direct-USB topology is preferred over network-based camera deployment
• Retrofit installations converting existing PoE camera runs to USB connectivity
• Huddly Crew system deployments requiring USB-based connectivity

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this adapter required to use the Huddly L1 over USB?
A: Yes. The Huddly L1 and S1 cameras are PoE network cameras by design. This USB Adapter is the only supported method for connecting them via USB to a computer or codec. Without it, the cameras must be deployed over Ethernet.

Q: Does this adapter work with the Huddly IQ or GO cameras?
A: No. This adapter is designed specifically for the Huddly L1, S1, and Crew systems, which use an RJ45 connection. The IQ and GO cameras connect natively via USB Type-C and do not require or use this adapter.

Q: Can I use a standard USB 3.0 cable instead of this adapter?
A: No. The L1 and S1 cameras output over RJ45, not USB. This Huddly USB Adapter performs the necessary signal conversion and is the required accessory for USB-based deployments.

Q: Does the adapter support the full resolution of the Huddly L1?
A: Yes. The adapter passes SuperSpeed USB 3.0 bandwidth, which supports the full video output capabilities of the L1 and S1 cameras.

Q: Is a separate power supply needed for the adapter?
A: The adapter draws power from the USB host port. No separate power supply is required for the adapter itself; however, the connected camera still requires a PoE source or power from the cable run.

Q: Is this product sold by Huddly or a third party?
A: This is an official Huddly accessory (part number 7090043790979), sold through authorized resellers including Creation Networks.
