OBSBOT Tiny SE AI-Powered HD PTZ Webcam

The OBSBOT Tiny SE is an AI-powered Full HD PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) webcam that delivers advanced robotic tracking features typically found in high-end cameras, but in a compact, accessible package. It is designed to act as a personal cameraman for streamers, content creators, educators, and remote professionals who move around while presenting.

Here is an overview of its key features:

1. AI-Powered Auto-Tracking and PTZ

The Tiny SE's main attraction is its sophisticated, AI-driven tracking system housed on a motorized two-axis gimbal.

• Smart AI Tracking: Utilizing a deep neural learning network, the webcam seamlessly tracks a human subject's movement and keeps them centered in the frame with mechanical precision (Pan: ±140∘, Tilt: −70∘ to 30∘).

• Auto Zoom: The AI intelligently adjusts the 4× digital zoom level to maintain an ideal composition, ensuring the subject is not too far or too close.

• Bodypart and Zone Tracking: Users can set the camera to follow different compositions (e.g., Upper Body, Close-Up, Lower Body) and define specific non-tracking zones or tracking zones to prevent capturing unintentional areas.

2. Gesture Control

The camera features "Gesture Control 2.0," allowing users to manage key functions without touching the computer or the camera itself.

• Start/Stop Tracking: Simple hand gestures can be used to lock onto or unlock the tracking target.

• Zoom Control: Users can use gestures to quickly zoom in or out, making on-the-fly adjustments during a presentation easy and intuitive.

3. Image and Video Quality

The Tiny SE is optimized for bright, clear video quality, even in challenging lighting conditions.

• Full HD Resolution: It captures video at up to 1080p resolution with a fast frame rate, including 1080p at 100fps or 720p at 120fps, providing very smooth, fluid motion that is superior to standard 30fps webcams.

• 1/2.8" CMOS Sensor: This sensor size, combined with a fast f/1.8 aperture lens, helps deliver better low-light performance.

• Dual Native ISO & Staggered HDR: These advanced imaging technologies automatically adapt to prevent washed-out highlights and obscured shadows, ensuring a well-exposed image in both bright and dim environments.

4. Software Control and Connectivity

The camera is easily managed through dedicated software and integrates well with professional setups.

• OBSBOT Center Software: This control hub for Windows and macOS allows users to fine-tune image settings (ISO, white balance, exposure), adjust the gimbal position, set up tracking preferences, and enable features like Beauty Mode and Background Blur/Bokeh.

• Multiple Shooting Modes: Supports Landscape, Portrait, and Upside-Down shooting modes.

• Preset Modes: Users can define and save up to three preferred PTZ positions and tracking settings for instant recall.

• Microphone: Includes a built-in omnidirectional microphone with noise-cancellation and automatic gain control.

• Integration: It supports integration with the Elgato Stream Deck and Global Hotkeys for professional, dedicated control during streaming.

Summary

The OBSBOT Tiny SE is highly recommended for users who need the dynamic movement of a PTZ camera but want the simplicity of a plug-and-play webcam. Its combination of reliable AI tracking, smooth video, and extensive control software offers a massive upgrade over conventional static webcams at a budget-friendly price point.
