Hi! Does the Cam work in a totally dark room?

Hi Sunshine Bob, Thank you for the inquiry! The Bravia cam will need some light to function properly. For the cleanest Bravia Cam picture possible, please use a nearby lamp and/or ceiling lights. Connect the Sony BRAVIA CAM to your BRAVIA XR TV and enjoy television like never before. BRAVIA CAM recognizes where you are in the room and how far you are from the TV, then adjusts sound and picture settings so they're just right. This means audio - including dialog - is clearer and more immersive with picture brightness tailored to your viewing environment Regards, David

Is this compatible with the sony x90ck from costco?

Hi C.B., Thank you for your question. Good news! Yes! The X90CK is compatible to use with the BRAVIA CAM (CMU-BC1). The BRAVIA CAM CMU-BC1 (sold separately) is supported on 2022 BRAVIA models X80K and up. Connect the Sony BRAVIA CAM to your BRAVIA XR TV and discover new ways to enjoy TV. BRAVIA CAM recognizes where you are in the room and how far you are from the TV, then adjusts sound and picture settings so they’re just right. The Gesture Control and Camera Sensing functions will be available after a software update. Regards, Jess

Is this comparable with my XR55A80J? I purchased it in July 2021.

Hi Brian, thank you for your question. Sony 2022 TV models X80K and up will be compatible to use with BRAVIA CAM (CMU-BC1). You can enjoy video chat with friends and family on the big screen. Other features including Ambient Optimization Pro, Gesture control, Proximity Alert, and Auto Power Saving Mode. In addition, The A80J doesn't have a built-in camera. However, you can connect a supported camera to the Google TV with a USB cable to use it as a webcam. BRAVIA CAM recognizes where you are in the room and how far you are from the TV, then adjusts sound and picture settings so they’re just right. Hope this helps. Erin

Technology loaded and Futuristic

Works as advertised, compatible with my television and allows me to have the opportunity to control my television from where I am standing or seated in the room. This also assists in adjusting television settings accordingly to visual cues.

Great camera - Nicely integrated into TV

This camera delivers a crisp HD image in a relatively dim room. When plugged into my XR65A80's USB port, camera was quickly detected and the option to set it up was given. Set up was easy. I use this camera with the TV's built-in Zoom app.I tried the hand-gestures -- waste of time. Sony should have better had a remote with an integrated on-screen pointer like the one provided by the other company who is the largest OLED TV provider.

Wish it was cheaper, but I still love it

I wish it was like $50 cheaper, but I do like the features it adds to my Sony TVs. I have a Bravia 8 OLED and a Sony X90L, and added these cameras to both. My features are the audio tuning it can do and the power saving features it offers.

Sony quality product

Purchased to use with my Sony X80K 55 inch, works well with Google Meet for use on video calls. Wish my kids would spend money on it too.

Horrible quality image. Selling this for $200 should be illegal

I'm truly puzzled as to who decided this would be worth $200. It's UVC-compatible, but it only supports the YUYV and Motion-JPEG formats, and worse yet, in MotionJPEG mode the color is horribly off -- everything is tinted heavily green and blue. The only mode that actually works well is YUYV, but that's limited to 640x480 and 30 FPS.Here's the full V4L2 output:ioctl: VIDIOC_ENUM_FMTType: Video Capture[0]: 'YUYV' (YUYV 4:2:2)Size: Discrete

You're better off just buying a regular modern webcam for $30.

It works but is it necessary?

So if your TV didn’t come with the Bravia Cam but is compatible with one should you get it? Maybe! Let me explain. It’s fantastic at adjusting the picture based on where you are in the room in relation to the Sony TV. It also does gestures but not very well. You can tell the TV what to do by holding up your hand and gesturing. Most Sony TVs already have Alexa and an app you can use on your phone so this feature is a miss. The gesturing works sometimes but not all the time. You’d be better off just using the remote. Lastly video calls. Well, I have a phone so I don’t really need that feature. It also appears you need someone else with compatible software to even use the feature. I bought it because the TV is in an area where natural light and other factors such as my location can affect the way the TV image looks . This corrects that and makes the TV have the best possible picture consistently regardless of where you are in the room by the TV. I think Sony makes great TVs but this accessory might have over promised and under delivered.
