Vaddio WideSHOT SE QUSB – Wide-Angle Fixed HD Conference Camera System

Product Overview

The Vaddio WideSHOT SE QUSB (model 999-6911-200) is a fixed wide-angle HD conference camera system designed for small-to-medium conference rooms, huddle spaces, and executive offices where a full-room view is required without pan/tilt/zoom automation. Paired with the included Quick-Connect USB Mini interface, it delivers USB 2.0 UVC streaming up to 720p/30 and HDMI/HD analog component video output up to 1080p/60 over a straightforward Cat-5 infrastructure. The system integrates cleanly into unified communications platforms, room control systems, and AV signal chains without requiring proprietary drivers or complex configuration. At a sale price of $3,171.60 — below the $3,524.00 MSRP — this is a cost-effective choice for organizations standardizing on Vaddio infrastructure.

Product Description

The WideSHOT SE QUSB system centers on a 1/2" CMOS sensor with a 111° horizontal field of view in 16:9 HD format — wide enough to capture an entire conference table or audience section without repositioning. The fixed-focus lens includes a 3x digital zoom mode and supports manual pan and tilt adjustment (tilt range: -30° to +30°), giving integrators flexibility during physical installation on a wall, under a table, or inverted from the ceiling.

Video output is handled over Vaddio's EZCamera Cat-5 wiring standard, which carries power, HD video (HSDS format), and control signals over a single shielded Cat-5 cable run of up to 150 feet. Output resolutions are selectable via a 16-position rotary switch on the camera rear panel and include 1080p at 59.94, 50, 30, and 25 fps; 1080i at 59.94 and 50 fps; 720p at 59.94 and 50 fps; plus standard-definition 480p and 576p options. Video signal-to-noise ratio exceeds 50 dB, and minimum illumination is rated at 0.2 lux — practical for dimly lit rooms without supplemental lighting.

The included Quick-Connect USB Mini interface provides a USB Type-B connection for direct UVC streaming to any PC or UC application without additional drivers. The USB Mini auto-negotiates the highest resolution supported by the host, up to 720p at 30 fps in MJPEG format. An integrated mounting flange on the USB Mini simplifies under-table or wall installation. Camera control is available via RS-232 at 9600 baud using a modified VISCA protocol, or via IR remote with selectable frequency to support multi-camera environments. A red tally LED provides on-air indication through RS-232 control, and an OSD allows basic image adjustments via the IR remote without accessing the web interface.

This system suits AV integrators building Vaddio EZCamera ecosystems, IT managers deploying USB conferencing solutions, and facilities teams standardizing camera infrastructure across multiple rooms. It ships with the Quick-Connect USB Mini interface, EZCamera control adapter, IR SHOT Commander remote, and all necessary cabling accessories for a complete installation.

Key Features

• 111° Wide Horizontal Field of View — Captures the full width of small-to-medium conference rooms and huddle spaces in a single fixed shot, eliminating the need for PTZ automation in most room layouts.
• 1/2" CMOS Sensor at 0.2 Lux Minimum Illumination — Delivers usable HD video in low-light environments including auditoriums and rooms without dedicated camera lighting.
• 1080p/60 HD Output via Cat-5 — Transmits high-frame-rate HD video, power, and control signals over a single Cat-5 cable run up to 150 feet using Vaddio's EZCamera HSDS standard.
• USB 2.0 UVC Streaming (720p/30) — Plug-and-play compatibility with all major UC platforms (Zoom, Teams, WebEx, Google Meet) via the included Quick-Connect USB Mini — no proprietary drivers required.
• 3x Digital Zoom with Manual Pan/Tilt — Allows physical framing adjustments at installation time; the 3x digital zoom provides additional framing flexibility without motor noise or complexity.
• RS-232 Control at 9600 Baud (Modified VISCA) — Integrates with AMX, Crestron, and other third-party control systems for room automation and tally light management.
• Multi-Frequency IR Remote Support — Three selectable IR frequencies allow independent local control of multiple cameras in adjacent rooms with a single IR SHOT Commander remote.
• Invertible for Ceiling Mount — Built-in image flip supports overhead installation without image correction in software; aluminum and steel construction ensures long-term durability.
• 2-Year Limited Warranty — Backed by Vaddio/Legrand AV's standard commercial warranty for reliable deployment in professional AV environments.

Typical Applications

• Small Conference Rooms (4–10 person) — The 111° FOV covers a standard conference table end-to-end, making this a practical choice for rooms where a single fixed camera position is sufficient.
• Huddle Spaces and Collaboration Rooms — Compact camera footprint and USB plug-and-play operation fit tight installations where simplicity and speed of deployment are priorities.
• Executive Offices with Video Conferencing — Fixed focus and wide angle eliminate the need for remote camera operators; the tally light provides professional on-air indication.
• Audience Capture in Classrooms and Auditoriums — The low-light performance (0.2 lux) and wide FOV handle large, dimly lit spaces where a wide shot of the audience or stage is required.
• Lecture Capture Systems — RS-232 control integration allows the camera to be triggered and managed by lecture capture software and room automation controllers.
• Multi-Room Standardized Deployments — Cat-5 infrastructure compatibility and Vaddio EZCamera ecosystem support simplify cabling and control standardization across multiple rooms in a facility.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What UC platforms is the WideSHOT SE QUSB compatible with?

The Quick-Connect USB Mini uses standard USB 2.0 UVC drivers, which are natively supported by Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Cisco WebEx, Google Meet, and most other major UC platforms on Windows and macOS. No proprietary drivers are required; the system auto-negotiates resolution up to 720p at 30 fps on connection.

Can this camera be controlled by Crestron or AMX room control systems?

Yes. The camera accepts RS-232 control at 9600 baud using a modified VISCA protocol over a shielded RJ45 connector. This makes it directly compatible with Crestron, AMX, Extron, and other third-party control processors. An EZCamera control adapter is included in the system kit.

What is the maximum cable run distance from the camera to the Quick-Connect USB Mini?

The EZCamera Cat-5 connection between the camera and the Quick-Connect USB Mini interface supports cable runs of up to 150 feet (approximately 45.7 meters). This allows the interface unit to be rack-mounted or placed at a credenza while the camera is positioned at the head of the room.

Does the 999-6911-200 include HDMI output?

Yes. When connected to the Quick-Connect USB Mini interface, the system provides simultaneous HDMI output and HD analog component (YPbPr) video output in addition to USB 2.0 UVC streaming — all at resolutions up to 1080p/60. The USB stream is limited to 720p/30 per UVC specification.

Is this camera suitable for ceiling or inverted mounting?

Yes. The WideSHOT SE supports image inversion for ceiling mounting via a six-position DIP switch on the camera body. The tilt range of -30° to +30° accommodates typical ceiling or wall positions once inverted. The aluminum and steel housing is rated for permanent installation.

How does the tally light work, and is it visible from the room?

The camera includes a red LED tally light controlled via RS-232 command. It is intended for use in environments where talent or presenters need an on-air indication. The tally light state is driven by the room control system or switcher, not automatically triggered by USB connection status.

What is the difference between the 999-6911-200 and the 999-6911-201?

The 999-6911-200 ships with the standard Quick-Connect USB Mini interface and is intended for most conference room deployments. The 999-6911-201 is a regional variant. Both share the same WideSHOT SE camera head and core specifications. Contact Creation Networks to confirm the correct SKU for your region and integration requirements.

What is included in the 999-6911-200 system kit?

The system includes the WideSHOT SE camera, Quick-Connect USB Mini interface, IR SHOT Commander remote control, EZCamera control adapter, power supply, and the necessary cabling for a complete installation.
