I had some misgivings about making this purchase since there were no reviews from paying customers, but the camera is impressive on all fronts. Video quality is on par with my Logitech webcams and tracking is accurate and easy. I haven’t cared to experiment much with the gesture control, but using the app from their website you can lock on the subject and it tracks without error. I’ve been using it for teaching through zoom and it allows me to walk around, gesture and emphasize points like I would in an in person lecture. I think it really adds something to my presentation that you just can’t get from the standard laptop mounted webcam view. It’s a great value and I’m glad I took and chance and ordered one.

When I saw this PTZ camera my first reaction was the picture quality was okay. I hope the camera quality would be worth a trying it out.. When I received it I was very disappointed… I couldn’t get it to work I couldn’t get the hand signs to work… I couldn’t get it to connect to anything… I even had trouble finding the online software for the camera that was supposed to control it manually… I couldn’t figure out what was wrong with it so I decided to return it… I even tried to get help from a YouTuber that I watch to quite often he basically said he wouldn’t waste his time with it because it was “a webcam”. I really needed the follow-me feature so after waiting a few days I decided to try it one more time. It took some time. I don’t know what was the problem originally but I got the hand gestures to work, I found the software… got it software to work… with the camera software that came on my laptop by clicking on the reverse camera button. I got it to connect with my ATM Mini Pro as my 4th camera through Microsoft camera software… I was able to live stream on YouTube for a test so I’m not completely convinced yet on the durability of it but I’m willing to give it a chance… They say there’s another version coming out for this product I’m anxious to see it.
I intend to give this another review after I’ve used it for a Time hopefully it’ll earn the five stars.

When it works it seems great, but it only seems to work for about 5-10 minutes then the red led bar of death occurs. Does not matter if the camera is directly plugged into a USB port on the computer or through a USB c/3 rated hub. Camera is not getting hot, but only seemed to work again after a 30 minute disconnect. Tested with two computers going to test on a third but I suspect I will be sending this back as a bad product.

This product is NOT compatible with Mac OS. The program works but you can’t use many features as it requires you to upgrade the firmware but the firmware is in compatible with Mac current OS… Not only that, all the review videos online and buy the company show them using a mobile app… The mobile app is for the tail not the tiny… And there’s no way to use the app with the tiny because the tail is a Bluetooth item and you have to connect that way but for the tiny, there’s no way to bypass this step so therefore it does not operate with phones

If you’re looking for maximum field of view, brightness even in low light, full motion tracking, and features light years beyond anything logitech puts out, then this is the right cam for you! Second to going the DSLR route (which presents a handful of other challenges) this cam is an all-in-one solution for any livestream or zoom session. Pair it with something that gives you sufficient elevation off a desk or just clip it on the back of a laptop with the included mount and you are literally all set! LOVE this thing!

I’m giving this 5 stars – there are a few things id’ improve, but at last someone has come to the market with a PTZ camera at the right price point – with an amazing AI tracking.
Having used Cisco Telepresence for this type of functionality – this little guy is going to be a hit. and it’s got a bigger brother in the form of the obsbot-tail.
There are some bits id like to see:
– a parking feature. Either buy gesture or no movement/person detected the camera would move and point into it’s base and LEDs turn off. a nice privacy feature.
– Not to function when no app is using it and above happens if apps are closed.
– some kind of fire TV or Google TV compatibility and Skype or zoom app.
– general privacy. The app is not digitally signed.

La cámara es buena y el seguimiento es excelente, la calidad no es la mejor pero cumple su función de cámara web. Es muy fácil de instalar. La recomiendo.

Tengo un dÃa usando esta cámara y estoy muy satisfecho. TenÃa meses buscando una cámara web que tuviera primordialmente buena calidad en video; OBSBOT cumple perfectamente con esa caracterÃstica. La cámara comenzó a funcionar tan pronto como la conecté a la laptop. Actualizar el firmware fue un poco problemático pero finalmente lo logré. Lo que más me gusta de esta cámara, además de la calidad de la imagen, es que cuenta con IA, es TPZ (tilt, pan & zoom), es compacta y se puede montar sobre cualquier tripié. Para montarla sobre una laptop directamente, se requiere pegar una parte del adaptador con un adhesivo que supongo solo funciona una vez.

Excelente camara web, muy buena calidad de imagen y muy fácil de configurar, el control con los movimientos de la mano son excelentes.
Muy buena camara.

Buena cámara, se ve robusta y los terminados son de calidad. Cumple con la descripción, es decir, la calidad de la imagen es buena a 1920 x 1080, pero cuando se aplica el zoom baja la calidad al ser zoom digital. También reconoce los gestos para el seguimiento y el zoom sin inconvenientes. Hay que tener en cuenta que al hacer alguno de los dos gestos que reconoce la cámara, es recomendable hacerlos a la altura del rostro y en un fondo que no tenga muchos colores u objetos.
Lo único negativo es que después de unos dÃas de uso, la cámara a comenzado a hacer algunos ruidos que me han generado dudas respecto a la calidad de los componentes internos del dispositivo. No sé cuánto tiempo pueda durar funcionando correctamente y si debido a ese ruido se pueda estar generando algún daño interno que con el pasar del tiempo la haga inutilizable. Eso serÃa una lastima ya que está cámara me ha parecido genial y por el precio es una muy buena compra asà que serÃa desafortunado que por algún defecto de fabrica deje de funcionar.

Worked right out of the box, plug and playe. Only down side was the reference to a web site to get their software but site not specifically given. Took a bit of research to find it.

Before purchasing, I was skeptical of the OBSBOT’s tracking and gesture controls but, much to my surprise, they work like a charm. That being said, I’ve noticed a few issues that I can’t quite get over. Every so often (maybe 2 minutes or so) there will be slight artifacts in the camera (i.e. a black bar appears for a few frames, the webcam feed turns green etc.), additionally, the stock settings for contrast, brightness, and the works are god awful and the software is a necessity to get a good looking picture. I will definitely continue to use it because the features are so useful but a firmware update to fix these would be extremely helpful. For those that are wondering, I downloaded the software on their website and changed the camera settings to 39 brightness, 59 constrast, 55 hue, and 53 saturation to get a decent quality picture.

Even though it looks kinda creepy, I like it. Great camera, good image quality, wonderful tracking, super useful gesture control.
Microphone quality needs improvement.
