Introducing the HuddleCamHD SimplTrack Line
Lecture Capture with Auto-Tracking
PTZOptics offers auto-tracking capabilities both as built-in features and as software add-ons. However, the latter can be cumbersome in an educational setup, given the need for a dedicated computer to run the software. This leads to the rise of cameras like those from HuddleCamHD that come with built-in auto-tracking capabilities. Among the advancements in this realm, the introduction of dual-sensor auto-tracking cameras stands out.
