The Emeet Piko+ is being hailed as the world's first AI-powered dual-camera 4K webcam, designed specifically for creators. According to Tom's Hardware, it features a 1/2.55-inch Sony sensor with an aperture of f/1.8, capable of recording at 4K / 30fps or 1080p / 60fps.
The webcam includes a 73-degree field of view, 1.5x digital zoom, and two lenses—one for imaging and an AI lens for focus and metering. Priced at $95.99, currently discounted to $79.99, it aims to offer high-quality video without breaking the bank.
The Piko+ also integrates with Emeet Studio software, allowing users to link and switch between multiple cameras. Reviewers noted that while the webcam performs adequately in various lighting conditions, its autofocus can struggle, particularly in overexposed settings.
The innovative design features a compact oval shape and comes with a unique magnetic panda-shaped lens cover, although some users might find it easy to lose. Overall, the Piko+ represents a significant step forward in webcam technology, emphasizing the growing demand for high-quality digital content creation tools in today's digital landscape.
