Meet Hudl Focus, Your New Camera to Record Basketball Games

Modern basketball is a fast-paced world that has pushed coaching staff and analysis departments to streamline their workflows, in order to create more efficient and effective evaluations of players’ performances and development. When thinking about your own process and analysis workflow, one of the first things to assess is how you capture and share your team’s performances on the court.

Traditional basketball video cam­eras are ade­quate for record­ing games and prac­tices, but the need for dedicated, reliable resources can often mean they fall short in stream­lin­ing coach­ing work­flows or providing consistent, high-quality video from the perfect angle. 

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.

An auto-tracking camera that simplifies the coaching process.

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

“One part I use Focus for is the games. So I have the match sched­ule and the cam­eras start when the game starts. I use it for prac­tice as well — I record every prac­tice. For prac­tice I use mul­ti­ple cam­era angles for analy­sis and dur­ing live play I use the cam­era that fol­lows the ball,” said Hermann Paar, head coach of BBC Gréngewald Hueschtert.

“The Focus footage is qual­i­ty and I can send high­lights and video cuts for all play­ers to their Hudl online account for their use. This is enough for what we need, to send the video cuts to the play­ers on their smart­phones or lap­tops to show game films from here in the gym. So for that, it’s per­fect and good com­mu­ni­ca­tion in that way.”
