Huddly 7090043790993 S1 AI Collaboration Camera with USB Adapter Kit

Product Overview

The Huddly S1 AI Collaboration Camera with USB Adapter Kit is a 4K AI conference camera designed for small and medium conference rooms that need both network and USB connectivity in a single plug-and-play package. The kit pairs the Huddly S1 camera with the Huddly USB Adapter, enabling deployment over PoE or USB 3.0 without separate accessory purchases. With a 150° diagonal field of view and AI-powered framing tools including Group Framing and Collaboration Mode, this Microsoft Teams certified conference camera covers the full room while keeping every participant clearly visible. It is an ideal solution for AV integrators and IT managers standardizing on a single SKU for mixed-deployment environments.

Product Description

The Huddly S1 is built around a 12 MP 1/2.3" CMOS sensor with a fixed f/2.8 aperture and a 120° horizontal field of view, making it well suited for rooms where a wide angle view is required without a pan-tilt-zoom mechanism to maintain. The camera outputs 1080p at 30fps and 720p at 30fps with up to 4x digital zoom, and the included USB Adapter adds SuperSpeed USB 3.0 connectivity alongside the native PoE port, so the same unit can serve both network-connected and BYOD laptop deployments.

On the AI side, the S1 runs Huddly's on-device inference engine to deliver Collaboration Mode for content-sharing layouts, Perspective Correction to straighten the image from non-ideal mounting positions, Framing Zone for user-defined crop boundaries, and Portrait Lighting to compensate for backlit or poorly lit rooms. Group Framing automatically tracks and frames all participants in the field of view without mechanical movement, reducing distractions during meetings. InSights Analytics API allows facilities and IT teams to pull room utilization data directly from the camera over the network.

The S1's aluminum unibody construction with a matte black finish has no moving parts, reducing long-term mechanical failure risk in high-use rooms. Wall and shelf mounts are included in the box. Firmware and AI feature updates are delivered over the network via Huddly's device management platform, so the camera's capabilities improve over time without hardware replacement.
