When you enable facial recognition in settings, the Camera will find and highlight your face on the screen and the console will take you through a few steps to record your face data. With the Camera, PS4 can scan your face and log you into your user profile, once you set it up to do so.

The PlayStation Camera provides facial recognition, motion control and video capture capabilities to the PS4.

It can stand up like a little raised platform, bend to support the device on top of a television or lay straight to enable you to place the Camera on a flat surface, making it easy to put it where you like, provided it's facing the right direction. It also comes with a conveniently foldable stand that can be attached to the Camera and adjusted in a variety of ways. The angle of the Camera can be adjusted up or down 35 degrees in either direction by holding the fixed right side of the camera and twisting the body. The device has an attached cord of approximately 6.56 feet (2 meters) in length, which ends in a proprietary connector that can be inserted into the auxiliary (AUX) port on the back of the PS4.

It also has an array of four microphones that span the device (two on either side of each camera lens) for quality sound capture and voice control of the PS4. It captures RAW and YUV uncompressed video. The Camera's lens aperture is f/2.0, its capture range (or focusing distance) is 11.81 inches (around 30 centimeters) and its diagonal field of view is 85 degrees.
