**Unboxing and Initial Impressions**
The camera arrived at my doorstep in a large box that was surprisingly lightweight considering its size. The first thing I noticed when opening the box was the fireEye logo emblazoned on the top, accompanied by a brief introduction to what I could expect from this webcam. Inside, I found the camera itself, which appeared to be made of high-quality plastic with a sleek and modern design. The camera also came with a few accessories, including a mini tripod that was cleverly designed to attach to various types of cameras.
**Setting Up the FireEye Webcam**
To set up the fireEye webcam, I simply had to turn it sideways and pull out the bottom panel. This revealed a complex mechanism that allowed me to adjust the camera's angle and position easily. The instructions that came with the device were extremely easy to follow, and I was able to get everything up and running in no time. One of the features that impressed me most about this webcam is its ability to record video at high resolutions, including 640x480 at 30 frames per second. This makes it an excellent choice for applications such as security cameras or webcams.
**Software Features**
One of the standout features of the fireEye webcam is its user-friendly software interface. The CD that came with the device included a comprehensive manual and installation instructions that made setting up the software a breeze. I was able to install the software on my computer in no time, and it worked flawlessly. The software allows users to customize settings such as resolution, frame rate, and file size, giving them complete control over their video recording experience.
**Other Features and Applications**
In addition to its impressive video recording capabilities, the fireEye webcam also features a few other notable applications. For example, it comes with a built-in color bar generator that helps users adjust the brightness and contrast of their recordings. It also has a software sleep mode that allows it to conserve energy when not in use. These features make the fireEye webcam an excellent choice for a wide range of applications, from security cameras to webcams.
**Pricing and Availability**
The fireEye webcam is available for purchase on various online marketplaces, including Amazon and Best Buy. The price point is relatively affordable, with most retailers offering it for under $100. While this may seem like a lot for a webcam, the fireEye offers high-quality video recording capabilities that make it an excellent choice for those who need a reliable web camera.
**Conclusion**
In conclusion, the fireEye webcam is an impressive device that offers high-quality video recording capabilities at an affordable price point. Its user-friendly software interface and compact design make it an excellent choice for a wide range of applications. While I had some minor issues with installing the software, these were easily resolved once I got everything up and running. Overall, I highly recommend the fireEye webcam to anyone in need of a reliable web camera.
**Additional Notes**
One thing that's worth noting is that this camera comes with a six-pin FireWire cable, which may require an adapter if you don't have one. On my laptop, I do not have a six-pin port, so I will likely need to purchase an adapter in order to use this webcam.
Another feature of this camera that I think is worth mentioning is the ability to adjust the video recording settings. The software allows users to choose from a variety of frame rates and resolutions, giving them complete control over their video recording experience. This can be especially useful for applications such as security cameras or live streams where high-quality video is essential.
I will also be experimenting with this webcam in conjunction with my blog TV setup and see how it performs compared to the built-in camera on my laptop.
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey what's up guys it's Marcus ramallah here from mkbhd and welcome to another hardware related video this one is going to be the full review video of the unibrow fireEye a firewire digital digital media or I'll call it a webcam for now so this is a basically a full review video of this webcam to start off with we are just gonna give you a quick tour around the hardware of it I mentioned that it was firewire and that can be proved quite easily belied this firewire cable right here 1394 firewire and that will plug into your 6-pin firewire and your desktop or your laptop moving right along on the actual tour of the the camera itself you can see on this side there is a firewire plug there it is and on the other side there is a power and another 1394 firewire and the reason why there's a firewire on both sides is ice so you can actually daisy chain them you can have a multi camera set up a bunch of these circled around or in a line and have a multi camera set up and have them all connected by that firewire cable I just showed you so on the front of the camera is the is the lens of course it says you know brain and fire eye and on the front here this you basically twist it and that will be your focus it's not an auto focus camera but this light here will light up when you're recording and you can you obviously easily twist this and record depending on the distance away that your subject is so that's very convenient that um that it does let you do that flipping it around here on the back you have the tripod holder now the camera that I'm filming us with is on the tripod so I can't show you the tripod but basically to take the the tripod holder off this is how it connects to your tripod right there to take it off all you have to do is turn it sideways and then pull it out the bottom so I'll just go ahead and do that and see it so it comes out the bottom it has basically a circle and a square type of shape where it connects to the camera so when you attach the tripod to it you can go ahead and put the tripod on in sideways and twist it to be in place and everything and the night then he's the neat thing about that is that you can turn the camera sideways you can turn it right-side up it really works pretty well for the setup that they give you so now on to the the features of the recording the quality was quite good the software that it came with was actually on a CD I showed you the CD in the unboxing and the city the instructions were very simple to install and I basically gave you a few different options in terms of in terms of recording quality and file size and stuff like that now this can record in 640 by 480 up to 30 frames per second and it does have a 4.3 millimeter focal lens and that's basically the basic features of this you can use this as kind of like a security camera or an actual webcam for something like a Ustream or a blog TV which I've been asking you guys about Ustream

your computer and it does work very flawlessly I have no complaints about the software for Windows also other things about this camera I think the nice thing about it is that it comes with the tripod the mini tripod as you can see in some photos in the description I'll include some photos I'll probably upload them to Flickr or something like that but anyway you can check out those photos and the mini the mini tripod actually works for a number of different cameras it's a very sturdy 3-legged tripod goes right underneath this and you can put it on a table or something and it'll be a good 5 6 inches off the ground and you'll get good quality video and good angles from that other things about the digital camera basically the the camera type I like I said is 1390 or firewire which is the larger six pin connection so if you don't have a 6-pin firewire cable you're gonna mount to make sure you have a four pin to six pin adapter and on my laptop my desktop does have six pin but my laptop actually does not so I'm gonna have to maybe i'll get a for the blog TV or the you stream whichever is decided by the viewers I'll get out some kind of adapter so I can use this webcam instead of my built-in we'll see how that goes other things are that it does have a software sleep mode and a color bar generator so this isn't just your typical webcam this does have a few features that you might want to check out if you haven't already bought a webcam if you don't have one already other things are that in the software itself you can choose for this webcam to shoot in 60 in sorry 30 frames per
