With the phrase artificial intelligence being slung at everything with a processor, it was inevitable we’d start seeing it paired with webcams, and thankfully, companies like OSBOT are applying it to their products, with fantastic results.

OSBOT as a company has been producing AI-powered webcams since 2019, but with almost four years of development and experience, its 2023 OSBOT Tiny 2 brings a culmination of user feedback and feature sets that not only warrant the $279.00 (formerly $329.00) price tag but set a standard for external webcams going forward.

DESIGN

5/5

The OSBOT TINY 2 is densely packed webcam that weighs roughly the same as a heavy duty combination padlock, and a little bit more when attached to the magnetic grip bottom.

Unlike most other webcams, the Tiny 2 comes with a unique design that includes a, close to 360-degree, articulating Gimple hinge rather than traditional unibody crafting with folding lenses and digital image optimization software.
