My Dual-Camera Setup
I use two Logitech C920x webcams - one mounted facing me (for form/technique recording), and one facing the board (for scoring/gameplay). This dual-camera setup works great for streaming, online play, and practice review.
The 1080p quality is solid, the autofocus works well, and they handle low-light conditions better than budget webcams. At this price point, you can afford to run two cameras without breaking the bank.
Camera Positioning Tips
Board camera: Mount directly above or slightly to the side of the dartboard, angled to capture the entire board surface. Make sure your throw line is visible in frame for online play verification.
Player camera: Position to capture your full throwing motion from the side. This angle is crucial for form analysis and streaming. Ensure good lighting on your throw - the C920x handles it well, but more light is always better.
