Vaddio IntelliSHOT ePTZ Camera (White) – Auto-Tracking 30x USB Camera

Product Overview

The Vaddio IntelliSHOT ePTZ Camera (White) — model 999-21100-000W — is a fixed-installation auto-tracking camera designed for conference rooms, classrooms, and collaboration spaces where a traditional motorized PTZ is impractical or cost-prohibitive. Using Vaddio's IntelliFrame technology, the camera combines motion detection with proprietary algorithms to keep active speakers and participants in frame without operator intervention or facial recognition. Simultaneous USB 3.0, HDMI, and H.264 IP streaming outputs make it compatible with virtually any room system, software codec, or AV-over-IP workflow. PoE+ power delivery and a browser-based management interface simplify installation and ongoing administration.

Product Description

The Vaddio IntelliSHOT 999-21100-000W delivers 20x optical zoom combined with 10x IntelliZoom digital extension for a 30x effective zoom range, covering a maximum 70.2° horizontal field of view. The 1/2.5" CMOS sensor outputs 1080p at 30 frames per second — adequate for standard UC platform requirements including Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Cisco Webex. Video is available simultaneously on USB 3.0 (UVC-compliant, plug-and-play with major software clients), HDMI, and H.264 IP streaming via RTSP and RTMP protocols, giving integrators flexibility for room designs that require local display and network distribution at the same time.

Two integrated beamforming microphones with acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) provide room audio capture without a separate microphone system in smaller spaces. Balanced audio line inputs and outputs are also provided for connection to external DSPs, amplifiers, or audio systems when the project requires it. The camera supports 16 user-defined presets, recalled via the included wireless IR remote, the browser-based UI, or third-party control systems through RS-232 or IP commands. TAA compliance makes this model suitable for U.S. federal and public-sector procurement. The 3-year warranty includes advance replacement in the first year.

The white finish (999-21100-000W) is appropriate for installations in light-colored environments where a black unit would be visually prominent. The package includes the camera, an on-wall mount, a cable cover, a 6 ft USB 3.0 A-B cable, a PoE+ injector, a wireless remote, a 3.3 ft Cat-5e cable, and a quick-start guide — all hardware necessary for a standard wall-mount installation is included in the box.

Key Features

• IntelliFrame Auto-Tracking — Motion-detection and algorithmic tracking keeps speakers and participants in frame automatically, without facial recognition or manual operator control.
• 30x Effective Zoom — 20x optical zoom plus 10x IntelliZoom digital extension for 70.2° maximum field of view, suitable for small to mid-sized rooms.
• 1080p/30 Video Output — Full HD 1920×1080 at 30 fps from a 1/2.5" CMOS sensor with a minimum illumination of 1.6 lux.
• Triple Simultaneous Outputs — USB 3.0 (UVC), HDMI, and H.264 IP (RTSP/RTMP) all active at once, supporting local display, software codecs, and network distribution simultaneously.
• Integrated Beamforming Microphones with AEC — Two built-in mics with acoustic echo cancellation reduce the need for supplemental audio hardware in smaller rooms.
• Balanced Audio I/O — Line-level balanced audio input and output for integration with external DSPs and installed audio systems.
• PoE+ Powered — IEEE 802.3at PoE+ eliminates a separate power supply run; a PoE+ injector is included in the box.
• 16 Configurable Presets — Store and recall camera positions via IR remote, browser UI, or third-party control system (RS-232 / IP).
• TAA Compliant, Made in USA — Meets Trade Agreements Act requirements for U.S. government and public-sector purchasing.
• 3-Year Warranty with 1st-Year Advance Replacement — Vaddio backs the camera with a full 3-year warranty and next-unit advance replacement in year one.

Typical Applications

• Corporate Conference Rooms — Auto-tracking removes the need for a dedicated camera operator in medium-sized boardrooms and huddle spaces.
• Higher Education Classrooms — Keeps instructors in frame as they move across the front of the room, with simultaneous USB output to a room PC and IP stream to remote learners.
• K–12 Distance Learning — TAA compliance and Made-in-USA status satisfy procurement requirements common in public school districts.
• Government and Public Sector Meeting Rooms — TAA-compliant camera suitable for federal, state, and local government AV installations.
• Healthcare Telemedicine — Plug-and-play USB 3.0 connectivity simplifies integration with telemedicine software platforms.
• Houses of Worship — IP streaming via RTSP/RTMP supports live streaming workflows alongside local HDMI feeds to in-room displays.
• Court Rooms and Legislative Chambers — Fixed installation with preset recall and remote control suits formal proceedings where camera operation must be unobtrusive.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the IntelliSHOT use facial recognition to track subjects?

No. The IntelliSHOT uses Vaddio's IntelliFrame technology, which relies on motion detection and proprietary algorithms — not facial recognition. This makes it suitable for environments with privacy requirements or policies that prohibit biometric processing.

Can the IntelliSHOT stream to Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Cisco Webex simultaneously?

The camera presents as a standard UVC device over USB 3.0, so it works with any software client that accepts a USB camera. The HDMI output and H.264 IP stream (RTSP/RTMP) are simultaneously active, allowing a single camera to feed a room PC for the software codec, a local display, and a network streaming destination at the same time.

Does the IntelliSHOT require a separate power supply?

No. The camera is powered by IEEE 802.3at PoE+, which is delivered over the Cat-5e network cable. A PoE+ injector is included in the box. If your network switch already provides 802.3at PoE+, the injector is not required.

What is the difference between the 999-21100-000 (black) and 999-21100-000W (white)?

The two models are functionally identical. The only difference is the camera housing color — black for the 000 SKU and white for the 000W. Choose based on the installation environment and aesthetic requirements of the space.

Is the IntelliSHOT 999-21100-000W TAA compliant?

Yes. The IntelliSHOT is TAA compliant and manufactured in the USA, making it eligible for U.S. federal, state, and local government procurement under GSA schedules and cooperative purchasing programs.

Can the IntelliSHOT be controlled by a third-party control system such as Crestron or AMX?

Yes. The camera supports RS-232 serial control and IP-based control commands, which are compatible with major control system platforms including Crestron, AMX, Extron, and others. Vaddio publishes the command set in the product documentation available through Legrand AV.

How many camera presets does the IntelliSHOT support?

The IntelliSHOT supports 16 user-defined presets, which can be stored and recalled via the browser-based management interface, the included wireless IR remote, or third-party control system commands.
