hey what's up guys it's Marcus ramallah here from mkbhd and welcome to another hardware related video this one is going to be the full review video of the unibrow fireEye a firewire digital digital media or I'll call it a webcam for now so this is a basically a full review video of this webcam to start off with we are just gonna give you a quick tour around the hardware of it I mentioned that it was firewire and that can be proved quite easily belied this firewire cable right here 1394 firewire and that will plug into your 6-pin firewire and your desktop or your laptop moving right along on the actual tour of the the camera itself you can see on this side there is a firewire plug there it is and on the other side there is a power and another 1394 firewire and the reason why there's a firewire on both sides is ice so you can actually daisy chain them you can have a multi camera set up a bunch of these circled around or in a line and have a multi camera set up and have them all connected by that firewire cable I just showed you so on the front of the camera is the is the lens of course it says you know brain and fire eye and on the front here this you basically twist it and that will be your focus it's not an auto focus camera but this light here will light up when you're recording and you can you obviously easily twist this and record depending on the distance away that your subject is so that's very convenient that um that it does let you do that flipping it around here on the back you have the tripod holder now the camera that I'm filming us with is on the tripod so I can't show you the tripod but basically to take the the tripod holder off this is how it connects to your tripod right there to take it off all you have to do is turn it sideways and then pull it out the bottom so I'll just go ahead and do that and see it so it comes out the bottom it has basically a circle and a square type of shape where it connects to the camera so when you attach the tripod to it you can go ahead and put the tripod on in sideways and twist it to be in place and everything and the night then he's the neat thing about that is that you can turn the camera sideways you can turn it right-side up it really works pretty well for the setup that they give you so now on to the the features of the recording the quality was quite good the software that it came with was actually on a CD I showed you the CD in the unboxing and the city the instructions were very simple to install and I basically gave you a few different options in terms of in terms of recording quality and file size and stuff like that now this can record in 640 by 480 up to 30 frames per second and it does have a 4.3 millimeter focal lens and that's basically the basic features of this you can use this as kind of like a security camera or an actual webcam for something like a Ustream or a blog TV which I've been asking you guys about Ustream versus blog TV but you can basically use this for a number of different applications and it'll be just a good all-around quality economic webcam and I'll put the link in the description so you guys can check out more about the pricing and more about other features of this camera that I may not mention in this review due to time constraints further along the software like I said earlier was very easy to install you just pop the disc in the CD drive and it just it was basically a matter of clicking Next Next and customizing a few different options before you got the fireEye's software there on your computer and it does work very flawlessly I have no complaints about the software for Windows also other things about this camera I think the nice thing about it is that it comes with the tripod the mini tripod as you can see in some photos in the description I'll include some photos I'll probably upload them to Flickr or something like that but anyway you can check out those photos and the mini the mini tripod actually works for a number of different cameras it's a very sturdy 3-legged tripod goes right underneath this and you can put it on a table or something and it'll be a good 5 6 inches off the ground and you'll get good quality video and good angles from that other things about the digital camera basically the the camera type I like I said is 1390 or firewire which is the larger six pin connection so if you don't have a 6-pin firewire cable you're gonna mount to make sure you have a four pin to six pin adapter and on my laptop my desktop does have six pin but my laptop actually does not so I'm gonna have to maybe i'll get a for the blog TV or the you stream whichever is decided by the viewers I'll get out some kind of adapter so I can use this webcam instead of my built-in we'll see how that goes other things are that it does have a software sleep mode and a color bar generator so this isn't just your typical webcam this does have a few features that you might want to check out if you haven't already bought a webcam if you don't have one already other things are that in the software itself you can choose for this webcam to shoot in 60 in sorry 30 frames per second 15 frames per second seven-and-a-half frames per second and 3.75 frames per second so there's a large variety of them of qualities and French second that you can decide to shoot with with this camera now that's basically it for you guys I'm glad you watch this review I did took me a little while to get the software up and working but once I did get it in it was pretty much a flawless installation process I didn't get any random errors or anything like that so you're definitely gonna want to check this out for ease of use it's a light camera it's made of a sturdy plastic outer shell and that is basically it for you guys so thanks for watching this fire eye webcam review I hope you liked it and maybe you're inspired to go check it out in the description and I'll learn a little bit more about this camera anyway this has been Marcus Brownlee from mkbhd thank you for watching this review video and tell me if you like the new setup I'm going to try to sync the mic audio hopefully there's not too much fading in and out but I'll try to sync the mic audio with the video feed so thanks for watching this video guys have a nice night peace
