The OBSBOT Tiny is an AI-powered PTZ webcam designed to enhance live streaming, video calls, and conferences with advanced features. It leverages deep learning neural networks to achieve AI tracking, auto-framing, and gesture control, providing users with exciting new capabilities and high-quality video. The device is compatible with both Windows® and Mac® operating systems, and its functionality can be expanded through the OBSBOT TinyCam software.
The core function of the OBSBOT Tiny is to provide an intelligent and dynamic webcam experience. It features a 2-axis gimbal, allowing for a controllable rotation range of ±150° for pan and ±45° for tilt. This mechanical flexibility, combined with AI capabilities, enables the camera to automatically follow a designated subject, keeping them in frame without manual intervention.
The webcam utilizes a USB Type-C connection, ensuring fast and reliable data transfer speeds for efficient video streaming. It also includes a DC power port for dedicated power supply, enhancing stability during extended use. An integrated microphone captures audio, complementing the video feed.
One of the standout features is its AI-powered gesture control. Users can perform simple, natural gestures to control various functions, such as selecting or canceling a tracking target and zooming in or out. This eliminates the need to press buttons or interrupt the flow of a presentation or conversation. To activate gesture control, users place their hand near their face with fingers splayed out, prompting the camera indicator light to turn blue. A sequence of three blue lights flashing one by one, followed by all three flashing once together, confirms successful gesture recognition.
The OBSBOT Tiny supports 2x digital zoom, which can be controlled either through gestures or manually via the OBSBOT TinyCam software. Users can customize zoom settings from 1x to 2x within the software.
The OBSBOT Tiny offers versatile placement options to suit various setups. It comes with an adjustable magnetic mount, allowing it to be securely fixed to a monitor, desktop, or tripod.
Connecting the Tiny to a computer is straightforward: simply connect the product to the computer using a data cable. The webcam will automatically begin installation on the device. Users should allow a few seconds for the installation to complete before attempting to access the camera. It's important to note that if the product operates for an extended period, the bottom may become warm, which is considered normal.
The OBSBOT Tiny also includes a privacy mode. By pointing the lens straight down, the camera enters privacy mode, indicated by the camera indicator light turning off. In this mode, both video and audio are cut off, ensuring user privacy.
For added flexibility, the webcam supports an upside-down mode. It can be mounted upside down, and the screen will automatically rotate to the correct orientation for use.
The OBSBOT TinyCam software provides an advanced control interface for the webcam. It is compatible with Windows and macOS and allows users to:
The software's homepage displays the connection status of devices and allows connection to up to four devices, with the ability to switch between them. It features a "Smart Shooting" option for one-click locking or canceling of the tracking target, and a "Device Status" option to put the device to sleep or wake it. The "Gimbal Reset" function returns the gimbal to its initial position, while "Gimbal Control" allows for manual manipulation of the gimbal. Users can also add up to three "Preset Positions" in the system settings, which can be deleted or renamed.
Within the system settings of OBSBOT TinyCam, users can configure various aspects of the webcam's behavior:
The camera indicator lights provide visual feedback on the device's status. Composed of four colors (red, yellow, blue, and green), different combinations and flicker frequencies indicate various working states:
The OBSBOT Tiny supports firmware upgrades to ensure optimal performance and access to new features. Firmware updates are pushed automatically to the device when a new version is released and the device is connected. Users will receive a prompt when an upgrade is available and should follow the on-screen instructions. It is crucial not to disconnect the OBSBOT Tiny during a firmware upgrade to prevent potential damage or malfunction. A detailed Firmware Upgrade Guide is available online for reference.
The OBSBOT TinyCam software also provides several maintenance-related options under the "More" section in system settings:
The software also displays the current "Software Version" and "Firmware Version," keeping users informed about their device's status and ensuring they can track updates. The content of the manual is subject to change, and users are encouraged to download the latest Manual Book from the OBSBOT website for the most up-to-date information.
