camera with the Robotic Camera Mount?
There isn't a camera on the marketplace that we've come
across that does not work with the Robotic Camera Mount.
In general, you should look at specifications for light
sensitivity and horizontal resolution to match to your
application, but as long as the camera can be mounted
with a 1/4"-20 bolt, it should be compatible.
With which operating systems is Robotic Camera
Mount compatible?
Robotic Camera Mount has been successfully tested on
Windows 95/98/NT WinXP and Linux operating systems. Given
the simple nature of the serial interface and command
set, Robotic Camera Mount should be compatible with any
operating system.

software. Created in 1996, Webcam32 is the most mature,
robust and continually evolving webcam software on the
market. To learn more about Webcam32, visit the
"Webcam32" page on this site.
How far from my computer can I place Robotic Camera
Mount?
We've tested distances as far as 100ft using shielded
twisted pair for the serial connection and good quality
shielded video cable for the camera feed.
Is Robotic Camera Mount weatherproof?
Robotic Camera Mount is not weatherproof as shipped, but
we've used it very successfully outdoors with a
weatherproof dome.
What temperature/humidity ranges are recommended?
Robotic Camera Mount should operate without difficulty in
temperatures up to 90°F (32°C) with 0-90% humidity. In
more extreme conditions, Robotic Camera Mount's
