OBSBOT Tiny 4K is a UHD webcam with AI powered tracking

Thanks to the OBSBOT Tiny 4K webcam, your students, colleagues or family will always get a crystal-clear picture of you. That’s because it’s equipped with a 2.8-inch Sony image sensor and 4K lens, which can produce an ultra-HD image or stream — at 30 frames per second (fps) in 4K resolution and 60 fps in 1080P. That’s important whether you’re livestreaming to viewers during a gaming session or attending a live work conference from your home office. Low-light correction keeps the image bright and vibrant, even in a dark room or environment. It also provides a better overall view for everyone, reducing some of the contrast and darkness issues you normally see with webcams.

Although it mounts to the top of a monitor like any other webcam, the Tiny 4K has a dual-axis gimbal and AI-powered functionality. The AI ​​autofocus and tracking make sure the camera follows you, keeps you in the frame, as you move around the room. This is great for teachers or presenters who are not sitting and want to give their viewers a truly personalized experience. If you’re sitting still, it works just as well to keep you centered in the frame. Tracking modes are available to configure the camera for different situations as well. Motion mode, for example, moves faster to capture you as you move without sacrificing image quality. Headroom mode is another option, giving you extra space above your head that prevents you from being cut off in view, which often happens with static webcams. This provides a more formal and professional feel to the whole experience.

As a teacher or presenter, it can be frustrating to adjust the camera and viewing angles during a live stream. Thanks to Tiny 4K’s motion controls, you don’t have to fiddle with the keyboard, mouse, or camera to change basic settings. Two controls are available, each with its own move, to lock or unlock targets and to zoom in or out. Teachers will especially love this option, as they can keep their hands free during a lesson and use gestures to adjust the visual presentation.

After a conversation or presentation is finished, you can tilt the camera down to activate a privacy mode, and there’s also an integrated switch to easily turn it off without unplugging. That’s a lot better than makeshift covers you’d have to use with alternative webcams, and you never have to worry about someone seeing something they shouldn’t – the camera is pointing down. After your conference call, tilt it down and then you’re free to loosen your tie, and maybe even your belt. If you don’t tilt it down or forget it, the device will automatically go into sleep mode after 30 seconds. If you want to change that detection time, you can also set it manually in the device settings.

All these features combine to provide a robust and versatile option for game streamers. Your viewers will benefit from the UHD video, you will always stay sharp thanks to the AI ​​and you can interact with the camera with a quick gesture – to take a closer look at your crazy facial expression, for example.

So many webcams lack decent audio support, but the OBSBOT Tiny 4K has dual-omnidirectional microphones with noise-cancelling technology. It can pick up your voice, nice and clear, within a range of 3 meters, almost 3 meters away. There is no need to plug in any third-party microphones or headsets to get a good recording of your voice or to communicate well with your viewers. If you’re giving a presentation and you’re some distance from the webcam and its microphones, your commentary will still be picked up. Even if you’re not doing anything on video or stream, you can still use the microphone like you would any other. You no longer have awkward conversations with your colleagues because they can’t hear you either.
