Whether you’re looking for a smart camera with hands-free technology, complete Hudl integration or livestreaming capabilities, Hudl Focus stands above all other options. Find out why.

Today’s on-demand world has pushed coaches and athletic directors to rethink how they develop their athletes, promote their team, and engage with fans. When assessing how you stack up, one of the best places to start is evaluating how you capture and share your team’s biggest moments.

Traditional hand-held cameras are adequate for recording games and practices, but they fall short in streamlining coaching workflows or connecting with your community beyond the field of play.

That’s where Hudl Focus comes in. It’s a professional-grade camera that not only handles the recording of your basketball games, but also the uploading and sharing of game footage—all automatically.

A Smart Camera That Simplifies the Coaching Process

Hudl Focus is the only camera that comes with complete Hudl integration. This means your basketball games and practices are automatically recorded and uploaded to Hudl, saving you time to focus on what matters most—developing your players.

“Focus enables us to evaluate and break down our practices in the same way we do our games, which is a really valuable tool, both from a coaching perspective and for teaching the kids,” said Cara Doyle, basketball coach at Saint Ignatius College Prep.

“And as a head coach, you're getting ready for a game and the last thing you want to do is make sure you have someone to film the game, or you're worried about it, or you're asking your assistant coach to go ask someone they know in the stands to do it. To have that all set and know all you have to do is press a button on your phone and you're covered, it really makes your game day preparation a lot easier.”

Consistent, High-Quality Video From the Perfect Angle

Hudl Focus also provides access to HD video from the perfect angle, ensuring your team never misses an important moment on the court.

And with real-time ball tracking and 180-degree panoramic high-quality video, coaches and athletes can be confident they’ll uncover previously unforeseen details that accelerate the development process.
