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 well.

Camera Positioning Tips

Board camera: Position to clearly show the dartboard face. Mount above or to the side of the board, angled to capture the entire board surface. Make sure your throw line is visible in frame for online play verification.

Player camera (optional): Mount at the top of the board facing the player head-on. This captures the player's throwing form and is useful for streaming or form analysis.
