distribution agreement and performance, while the Hud- dly Vision API makes it possible to develop advanced intelligent features using the camera’s mul- tiple video streams. “Today’s video conferencing cameras are either cheap-and- cheerful or very high quality with a high price tag – but Huddly has spent a long time engineering the first intelligent collaboration camera with advanced features such as pan, tilt and zoom - but at an affordable price point,” said Steve Harris, EVP at Nu- vias UC. “With more and more organisations recognising the benefits of unified communica- tions - beyond just time savings and cutting travel costs – the high-quality video delivered by Huddly improves the user experi- ence and productivity of collabo- rative virtual meetings. Once our partners have experienced the Huddly GO first hand, and seen how simple it is to integrate with their existing UC video platform, we believe this can be a true UC breakthrough.” Fraser


Huddly is a vision technology company said to combine Scan- dinavian-designed hardware, software and AI to create inno- vative products for everyone who uses video to collaborate. Huddly products are flexible, inclusive, easy-to-use and software-upgrad- able. Most tech gets old fast, whereas Huddly products stay new, evolving over time via the Huddly Vision software platform with new software feature up- grades to support changing team dynamics and needs.


Nuvias has signed a pan-EMEA distributor agreement with in- novative Scandinavian start-up Huddly for its ground-breaking intelligent collaboration cam- era. The ultra-compact and styl- ish Huddly GO offers advanced features such as an ultra-wide 150-degree lens, lossless dig- ital Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) up to 4x, and 16 MP video - all at a fraction of the cost of existing high-end PTZ video conferencing cameras.
