What You’ll Need
The following materials are necessary, but not provided by Hudl.
Mounting Plate Installation
A Smartphone With the Hudl Focus App Downloaded
- You need the app to install the camera and check its view.
Drill
- To install the Hudl Focus mounting plate in your facility, you will need to drill holes into a flat surface. We strongly suggest you use a power drill to do it.
Level
- A crooked mount will give you crooked video. Use a simple bubble level to ensure you get it right the first time.
- Stanley Magnetic Torpedo Level
Ladder or Scissor Lift (Optional)
- Installing your camera at a height and distance to capture the full field may require a ladder or scissor lift.
- Little Giant 22' Convertible Ladder
- Scissor Lift
