Overview

The Newline Huddle Cam (model TC-4V19Z) is a discontinued USB camera for huddle rooms and small meeting spaces. It captures 4K video across a 120° field of view, automatically frames everyone present, and includes a four-microphone array with echo cancellation. Zoom certified and plug-and-play, it suits small teams in Doha offices, schools and meeting rooms that need a simple setup. Request a quote for a current replacement.

What the Newline Huddle Cam is

The Newline Huddle Cam, model TC-4V19Z, is a USB camera built for huddle rooms and small meeting spaces where a few people share one table. It connects to a host computer over USB, so the room can join video calls without a separate codec. Newline certifies it for Zoom.

Newline has discontinued this model. It remains a useful reference for organisations that already own one, and for buyers who want to compare its specifications with a current replacement before they commit.

Camera and microphone specifications that matter

The 1/2.5-inch CMOS sensor records 4K at up to 30 fps and 1080p at up to 60 fps. The 120° angle of view and auto framing keep participants in shot as they sit or move around the table, so nobody has to lean toward a laptop. Facial detection supports the framing.

Sensor: 8.51 megapixel, 1/2.5-inch CMOS
Lens: 120° angle of view, focal length f = 2.8 mm
Microphones: four MEMS elements, 3 m pick-up distance, echo and noise cancellation
Connection: USB-B 3.0 to the host, one SPDIF input

Echo cancellation and automatic gain control keep voices at a steady level across the table, which helps in rooms with hard walls and glass.

Where it fits in Qatar

Three situations suit this camera well:

A small meeting room in an office in West Bay or Lusail, where a team holds daily calls with colleagues abroad during the Sunday to Thursday working week.
A staff meeting room in a private school in Al Wakrah, used for hybrid meetings where some teachers join from another room.
An administration room in a clinic in Al Rayyan, or a small training room in Education City, where bilingual staff need a clear view of the table on screen.

Planning the installation

Check three things before ordering. First, the host PC needs a USB 3.0 port, because the datasheet states that USB-A 3.0 is required for 4K. Second, the computer should have at least a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor or higher and 2 GB of RAM. Third, the room must stay within the working range of -10°C to 40°C, which means an air-conditioned room away from direct sunlight, since outdoor summer temperatures in Qatar often pass 45°C.

The camera measures 241 × 52 × 56 mm and weighs 0.56 kg, so it suits a shelf or the top of a display at the front of the room. It draws 4.5 to 7 W from 5 V USB power. A free site survey from SmartRooms Qatar can confirm camera height, cable route and whether the 120° view covers every seat.

Discontinued model: what to request

Newline no longer offers the Huddle Cam, so the practical route is a quote for a current equivalent or compatible replacement. Send us the room size, the host computer and your conferencing platform, and the SmartRooms Qatar team will recommend a suitable option. Quotations usually arrive within one working day. We accept purchase orders (LPOs), government tenders including Monaqasat, and payment by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order.

Questions about Newline Huddle Cam

Is the Newline Huddle Cam TC-4V19Z still sold by the manufacturer?

No. Newline has discontinued the Huddle Cam, so it is no longer part of the current range. SmartRooms Qatar can quote for a current equivalent or compatible replacement that fits a huddle room with a similar brief. Send us your room size, the host computer model and your conferencing platform, and the team will recommend options based on those details.

What is the Huddle Cam designed for?

It is a plug-and-play USB camera for huddle rooms and small meeting rooms, where a few people sit around one table. Its 120° field of view and automatic framing keep everyone in shot without moving the camera, so a small team can join a video call from a single desk. It is not intended for large boardrooms or lecture halls.

What resolution and frame rate does the camera deliver?

The camera records at up to 4K at 30 fps, and at 1080p up to 60 fps. The sensor is a 1/2.5-inch CMOS with 8.51 megapixels. Shutter speed ranges from 1/30 to 1/10000 second, and minimal illumination is rated at 0.5 lux. Check that your conferencing application and host computer can use the resolution you need before you rely on 4K.

Does the host computer need a USB 3.0 port?

For 4K, yes. The datasheet states that a USB-A 3.0 port is required for 4K, and the camera itself connects through USB-B 3.0. The host should also have at least a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 2 GB of RAM. Confirm that the room PC has a USB 3.0 port before you order, especially in older meeting rooms.

Which video conferencing platforms does it work with?

The Huddle Cam is certified by Zoom. The datasheet also states that it works with leading video and audio conferencing applications and uses the UVC 1.1 protocol, with H.264, MJPEG and YUY2 colour and compression options. Confirm your exact platform and version with the SmartRooms Qatar team during the quotation stage, particularly if your team uses a less common application.

How well does the microphone array handle a small meeting room?

The camera has a four-element MEMS microphone array with echo cancellation, noise cancellation and automatic gain control. The specification table lists a pick-up distance of 3 m. In a small room, this means people can speak at a normal volume from across the table. Larger rooms with more seats usually need an additional table or ceiling microphone.

Can it be used in an air-conditioned room in Doha?

Yes, provided the room stays within the camera's working range of -10°C to 40°C. Its storage range is -40°C to 60°C. Summer temperatures outside in Qatar often exceed 45°C, so install the camera indoors, away from windows and direct sunlight, and make sure the room cooling keeps the space within the working range during meetings.

How large is the camera, and where can it be placed?

The camera measures 241 × 52 × 56 mm and weighs 0.56 kg. Its compact size suits a shelf or the top of a display at the front of the room. Plan the height so that the 120° view covers all the seats, and keep the lens clear of glare from windows behind the table.

What kind of meeting room in Qatar suits this camera?

A small meeting room is the best fit: a team room in an office in West Bay or Lusail, a staff room in a school in Al Rayyan, or an administration room in a clinic. Teams in these places often run calls with colleagues abroad during the Sunday to Thursday working week, and a single 4K camera with automatic framing keeps the whole table visible without a technician.

How could a school in Al Wakrah use this camera?

A school in Al Wakrah could set up a staff meeting room for hybrid sessions, where some teachers join from another classroom or from home. The camera's 120° view and auto framing keep everyone at the table in shot, and the four-microphone array with echo cancellation helps remote participants hear the room clearly. Ask for a quote early if you need several rooms at once.

Can our organisation buy it through an LPO or a government tender?

Yes. SmartRooms Qatar accepts purchase orders (LPOs) and supplies government tenders, including those published on Monaqasat. Because the Huddle Cam is discontinued, tender specifications should name the current equivalent once we confirm it against your room and platform needs, so send your requirements early in the procurement cycle.

What do I need to plan for the cabling and power?

The camera connects to the host through USB-B 3.0 and draws its power from 5 V USB, using 4.5 to 7 W at maximum. Plan the cable route from the front of the room to the host computer, keep it away from heat sources, and make sure the USB port on the host is a 3.0 port, since 4K requires USB-A 3.0 on the computer side.
