Imogen Studio Mister Robot-O Head Tracking Webcam Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

2009-11-27
so today I'll be having a look at and I'll be unboxing the imogen studio mr. robot Oh webcam okay this is a fairly unique product and their tagline is C and control your camera from anywhere in the world featuring motorized tracking okay so basically what that means is that you can use the motorized tracking which goes up to two hundred and five degrees horizontally and 140 degrees vertically to remotely view including with the iphone any video that this webcam is capturing it captures it up to 1280 by 1024 video and one of the other things that they say is really interesting is that it mounts really easily so you can put it on an LCD monitor a laptop an old school old school CRT is one of the things that says on the side I can't figure out where that is and yeah they're all school CRT monitors awesome you can even mount it next to your cat okay one of the other things it does is it automatically tracks your movement and it has apparently superior low-light performance now we're going to try the actual webcam later but for now we're just going to have a look at this thing so I mean the killer app is going to be that it's motorized right so one concern that I had when I first saw it is that yeah you get that motorized performance but you also have to deal with it being quite large like it's not something you're realistically here's an iphone four scales the camera man's iphone it's not something that you're realistically going to be using on a laptop okay so let's see what's included here really quickly so you've got an image in studios mr. Roboto okay so there's your focus ring your microphone and your power LED all right that's pretty straightforward it's just an instruction guide how to get started install the software connect the camera complete the software installation and using zedonk a face you don't like I believe is their software okay here we go this is the driver and software installation and ready for windows XP or vista and almost anything that works on vista is going to work on windows 7 so it uses a standard USB power and data cable here it's actually quite long so you have pretty good flexibility in terms of where you'd like to mount it and I guess that's pretty much all we can say about it for now you can sort of play around with the mounting system a little bit here you can see it's a little loose right now but this is apparently going to adjust both up and down as well as side to side and I'm definitely going to have to do a video later showing exactly how that works but thank you for checking out the image in studio mr. roboto webcam
