Tiny SE

The OBSBOT is a better choice then. The Tiny SE is also a good choice, especially if you need a camera with an AI gimball

sometimes you can find a used a A5100 or simular with a lens for less than 200 bucks, maybe look around keh camera for used gear and see if you can find a A500 or A5100 in good shape, there onlly 1080p tho.. not 4k but often cheap.. i reviewed the obsbot tiny SE on my youtube channel several months back and its pretty darn good for the money.. i can almost get it to look simular to my sony camera with a little color grading work , its about 99 bucks, so far i think that is one of the best camera i have tried that is quite affordable. look up a few revies on that.. its great for around 99 bucks, i would much rather use my sony but i could easily run my youtube channels with that little webcam if you have good lightning in your room, it was pretty good in low light too to tell you the truth.. its not perfect but hard to beat for a basic PTZ webcam with tracking that can follow you around the room.

Pixy and tiny se was a tough call for the price. Went with tiny se cause i didnt need 4k but honestly both seem solid for the price

Can't go wrong with the logitech brio line at 1080p or obsbot tiny se they are my top picks. But if you want something that has been tried and true for years, the c922 from logitech is always a good option although older, it is rock solid and built for 1080p 30 fps webcam content with auto focus and great low light.

Been streaming about 3 years now and in that time ive gone through a bunch of webcams. friends around me too, we all tried different stuff and some of it was great some of it was a waste of money. figured id put together a list from what we actually used not from some article nobody tested. **Best webcams for beginners** Logitech Brio 101, around $24. does 1080p and thats about it. no software no setup just plug it in and go. my friend used one for 8 months on his first streams and it was fine for that. Logitech C920, around $68. probably the most used starter webcam out there. autofocus works, image is decent, been around for years so theres tons of guides if you need help setting it up. **Best webcams under $100** EMEET Pixy, around $89. 4k with ai tracking and dual camera. was $100 but they dropped the price this year. tracking is smooth and it keeps you in frame when you move around. OBSBOT Tiny SE, around $79. 1080p with ai tracking and gesture control. few guys in my discord stream with this and they like it for the price. **Easiest webcams to set up** Logitech Brio 101, literally plug in and it works. no app, no driver nothing. EMEET Pixy, same thing. plugged it in and OBS picked it up instantly. no driver, no software needed to get it running. OBSBOT Tiny SE, also plug and play but if you want the extra tracking modes you gotta download their app. **Best AI tracking webcams for streaming** EMEET Pixy, around $89. cheapest ai tracking webcam ive seen that actually works well. dual camera helps with autofocus and the ptz is smooth, not jerky like some cheaper ones. OBSBOT Tiny SE, around $79. tracking is solid for 1080p. no 4k tho so if resolution matters to you look elsewhere. OBSBOT Tiny 2 Lite, around $118 more tracking modes like hand tracking and lower body. My friend does cooking streams with this and the tracking handles all his movement around the kitchen. If you're streaming mostly stationary and just want reliable quality, c920 is still solid after all these years. If you need all three (under $100, tracking, plug and play), emeet hits that spot. and if you want the absolute cheapest option that gets you started, brio 101 at $24 does 1080p with no fuss. but it all comes down to your lighting and what you actually do on stream. Would be cool to see what webcams you guys are actually streaming with and if any of them made a difference in your growth.

I have the OBSBOT Tiny SE. Use it for long wfh work days. Great image quality and software. Love the tracking feature as I dont have to adjust the camera whenever I move, it just autotracks my movements and keeps centered on my face and torso. Lighting, color and nighttime color correction is really good too. Would highly recommend it. Also costs like $80.

The tiny se is a great starter for the money. Good quality. Has tracking and lots of options.
