A Quick Look at the Camera
This section covers the physical features of the camera.
Front of the Camera
Camera – The HuddleSHOT camera offers 1x, 1.5x, and 2x zoom levels.
Status light – The illuminated ring around the lens bezel indicates the camera's current state. The status
light can be turned off in the administrative web interface.
Note
By default, the camera's status indicator light is active during normal operation; however, it can be
configured to remain off when the camera is powered up. The camera may be sending video even if the light
is off.
Left and right speakers – Far-end audio, or content audio when using Sound Bar Mode.
Integrated microphones – No external microphone needed in the typical huddle room, interview room, or
other small space. Echo-canceling microphones pick up the voices of participants up to 10 ft. (3 m) away.
Back of the Camera
Network/PoE+ – RJ-45 connector. Connect to the Power and Data Out port of the PoE+ power injector.
USB 3.0 – USB type C connector. Connect to a computer for use with soft conferencing applications.
Provides uncompressed USB 3.0 stream.
EasyMic – RJ-45 connector. Connect to a TableMIC or other microphone with EasyMic connectivity.
Multifunction button – Momentary pushbutton; used to return from standby, display IP address, pair with
a remote, and restore factory defaults.

Installation
This section covers:
nSelecting the location for the camera
nInstalling the mount
nConnection diagrams
nConnecting and mounting the camera
And a required safety note here:
Note
PoE type networks connected to this equipment are for intra-building use only and should not be connected
to lines that run outside of the building in which this product is located.
Don’t Void Your Warranty!
Caution
This product is for indoor use. Do not install it outdoors or in a humid environment without the appropriate
protective enclosure. Do not allow it to come into contact with any liquid.
Do not install or operate this product if it has been dropped, damaged, or exposed to liquids. If any of these
things happen, return it to Vaddio for safety and functional testing.
Before You Install the Camera
Things to keep in mind when deciding where to install the camera:
nConsider camera viewing angles, lighting conditions, line-of-sight obstructions, and in-wall obstructions
where the camera is to be mounted.
nEnsure that the camera will point away from the ceiling and lights. The camera will not perform well if it
is pointed toward a light source such as a light fixture or window.
Prepare for a successful installation:
nBe sure you can identify all cables correctly.
nCheck Cat-5 cables for continuity.
nTalk to the network administrator. If installing the camera in a non-DHCP network (one that does not
automatically assign IP addresses), you will need to configure the camera with a static IP address as
directed by the network administrator.

Installing the Wall Mount
The camera is shipped with a wall mount. Other mounting options are available as well. Contact us if you
don’t have the camera mount you need.
You can install the camera wall mount to a 2-gang wall box or directly to the drywall.
nIf you mount it to drywall, use the wall anchors provided with the wall mount.
nIf you mount it to a wall box, use the cover plate screws supplied with the wall box.
If you install the camera wall mount to drywall, use the wall anchors provided with the mount.
Cabling Notes
Caution
When building cables for Vaddio products, do not use pass-through RJ-45 connectors. If they
are crimped incorrectly, they can cause intermittent connections and degrade signal quality.
Incorrectly crimped pass-through connectors can also damage the connectors on the product,
which will void your warranty.
Intact – will make reliable contact
with cable connector
Damaged – Bent contact fingers
will NOT make reliable contact
with cable connector
Use Cat-5e or better cable. We recommend using high-quality connectors and a high-quality crimping tool.
We recommend shielded cabling if the cables will be coiled, run tightly with other cables, or placed close
sources of electromagnetic interference such as power lines.
Caution
Check your cables. Connecting a cable to the wrong port or using the wrong pin-out can result in equipment
damage and will void the warranty.
Pro Tip
Label all cables at both ends.

About Echo Cancellation
When a microphone picks up the audio from a speaker (far-end audio) during a conference, it sends the far-
end audio back to the participants at the far end, creating an echo. Acoustic echo cancellation prevents
this.
Here's how it works:
1. The speaker feeds the far-end audio into the room. This signal also goes to the audio processor as the
reference that needs to be canceled.
2. The audio processor inverts the signal and sends it to the microphone.
3. The sum of the audio that the microphone picks up from the speaker and the inverted signal is 0: The
echo is canceled.
With the audio from the speaker canceled out, the audio from the microphone includes only the sounds
originating at your end of the conference.
Basic Connections for Conferencing or Sharing Content
This diagram shows a basic conferencing configuration for the HuddleSHOT all-in-one conferencing
camera. A participant's laptop provides USB connectivity and the HDMI output to the room's display. The
optional TableMIC microphone, shipped with a 25 ft (7.6 m) cable, allows for more flexibility in the room
layout. This system provides acoustic echo cancellation, with or without the TableMIC microphone.
