Bravia Cam
CMU-BC1 20 September 2023 by Oldrocker8 (United Kingdom)
I bought the Camera to enhance my new Sony bravia 55 in television. The camera sits nearly at top centre with a small lip bracket and plugs into the TVs USB port. Setup was quick and easy the Sony recognise the camera and started the setup and tutorial. Easy to use hand gestures to control volume, power off, and much more. Can be used as a webcam using an app. The auto person recognition for setting the volume balance and seat position worked well. The cam adjusts the TV brightness and power saving features. The firmware for the cam updates via the TV notification and is simple keeping the system bugs and fixes latest version

Doesn’t work! Zoom won’t work, as advertised
CMUBC1 20 September 2024 by BillyV (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified
We have several brand new Sony TVs and received a solicitation from Sony to purchase this camera so we could use the new Zoom APP. We have the latest firmware and the camera does NOT work with the Zoom APP on any of the NEW TVs running the latest SONY firmware. Disappointing.

Quality product
CMU-BC1 08 September 2023 by Cuttlechucker (United Kingdom)
Superb picture and the subtitles are distinct and do not obstruct the picture A Great buy Bit more thought needed on the remote as the buttons are not of a decent size for older people.

Hi Larry, we're glad you love our product! 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. Thanks for choosing SONY. ~Earl
Good features but just ok performance.
CMUBC1 09 December 2022 by Zack Saad (USA)
So I’ve had this for only a day. But I’ve been able to test all the available features in different situations. When sitting to the side of the tv sometimes the camera doesn’t detect your hand for gesture control. The sound and picture adjustments work as advertised and I’m happy with it. All the other features work great. Overall I think it has some cool features with hopefully more to come.(I used this on my Sony x95k)

Hi Zack, we're glad you like the features of our product. We're sorry to hear that you have an issue with your BRAVIA CAM. BRAVIA CAM senses a range of about 7m. Please make sure that you are within range when performing gestures. The TV may not be detected or have some error due to the camera angle or position of people between the TV and the camera. Please change the camera angle or position to get a more accurate result. You can check this link for more details:

Misleading Product with USB that should be HDMI
CMU-BC1 03 September 2022 by CXGuru (United Kingdom)
I bought this for my elderly parents to have on their TV it arrived with a USB connector all the setup help indicates that it should have an HDMI connector. I'm spending £15 buying connectors in the hope that I can get it to work. It is misleading because its supposed to be an HDMI connection and its not.

Hi CXGuru,
Thank you for your review.
We're sorry to hear that you're facing difficulties setting up your Bravia cam to the TV.
We can confirm that it's connected via the USB port, and not HDMI: https://bit.ly/3KREwBE & https://bit.ly/3RzvsmU.
So you don't need to rely on any HDMI connectors at all.
