HuddleCam Cameras – Serial Control (Specific to HuddleCamHD models with virtual COM)
Since the HuddleCamHD model HC3X-xx-G2 also includes a virtual serial connection, the
camera will actually make 2 separate connections to your PC: UVC for video and virtual
com port for serial communication, as can be seen here:
This view uses the Windows Device Manager’s “View by Connection” mode rather
than the default “View by Type” mode, which allows you to “sort” by physical
connection to see your connected devices. However, both USB connection types may
be viewed in any of Device Manager’s viewing modes (just not grouped together like
this).
Changing the Advanced Port properties of the USB Serial Port (right click on “USB
Serial Port (COMx)” connection as shown above) will allow you to set the virtual Com
Port address of the camera to match the com port settings of your PTZ controlling
software (like the free “Remote PTZ Control Software” available at
http://huddlecamhd.com/resources/).
