Chosen by an AI model from its trained knowledge, with its reasoning.
AI pick: Sony PlayStation Camera CUH-ZEY2

What the AI looks for in PlayStation 4 Virtual Reality Cameras
- PS4 camera only
- Use the PlayStation Camera CUH-ZEY1 or CUH-ZEY2 only. PSVR tracks the headset and controllers through the PS4 camera's stereo lenses.
- Mounting
- The camera needs a stable mount at or near head height facing your play area. Poor placement causes drift and lost tracking.
- PS5 use
- On PS5, the PS4 camera needs Sony's camera adapter. The PS4 camera uses a proprietary port, not standard USB.
Brands that matter
- Sony: Only Sony makes PSVR-compatible cameras.
What to avoid
- The PS5 HD Camera, which does not work for PSVR tracking.
- The PS3 PlayStation Eye.
- Camera listings that do not state the model number.
Questions
Is the CUH-ZEY1 worse for VR than the CUH-ZEY2?
Both track PSVR the same way; the CUH-ZEY2 mainly changes the shape and adds an integrated stand.
