- General
- Product Name: Gear 360 Real 360 Degree 4K VR Camera
- Brand: Samsung
- Model Number: SM-R210NZWAXAR
- Color: White
- Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Digital Zoom: None (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
- 360 Degree Capture: true (The capability of the product to record an image incorporating a 360 degree point of view.)
- Low Light/High Sensitivity: true (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)
- Image File Format(s): JPEG (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
- Exposure Control
- Maximum Aperture: f/2.2 (The limit to how wide a lens can be open, typically expressed in f-numbers. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture and the more light that can enter the lens. A larger aperture creates a shallower depth of field, helpful for keeping subjects in focus and blurring background details.)
- Effective Pixels: 15 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
- Video
- Standardized Video Resolution: 4K (2160p) (An approximated measurement of the product’s video resolution. This may not be the exact resolution of the product, which may be slightly more or less when using a pixel-by-pixel measurement.)
- HDR Mode: true (HDR Mode uses multiple photos taken at different exposures to add more dynamic range to photographs. HDR technology displays content with greater contrast between bright and dark, resulting in clearer and more lifelike images.)
- Slow Motion Recording: false
- Video Encoding Formats: MP4 (The process of preparing the video for output, where the digital video is encoded to meet proper formats and specifications for recording and playback with the use of a compatible device.)
- Storage
- Number of Memory Card Slots: 1
- Compatibility
- Tripod/Monopod Mountable: false (A support function that allows the device to be mounted to monopods and tripods for leveling and stability.)
- Memory Card Compatibility: microSD, microSDHC, microSDXC (The type of memory card(s) recommended for use with the product.)
- Features
- Action Camera: false
- Integrated Speaker(s): false
- Night Recording: true (The ability to capture and record video in low-light conditions, typically via infrared light or intensifier tubes that amplify existing light to illuminate the scene.)
- Connectivity
- Wireless Connectivity: WiFi (The manner in which a device sends data to another device over a short distance without the use of wires or cables.)
- Output(s): USB 2.0
- Microphone Type: Built-in (stereo)
- Microphone Input: false (The device features an input for connecting an external microphone.)
- Headphone Jack: false (The device features an interface that allows for the connection of headphones.)
- Number of USB Port(s): 1
- Charging Interface(s): USB-C (The connection for transmitting power to charge the device.)

Product Manuals
A: You really don’t need a phone. I’m an iPhone user and I purchased this camera and it works great with my iPhone XS. It works with Samsung or iOS. Most of the time I don’t use my phone tho and just point and shoot. You can access everything you need right from the camera. Switch to video, switch to just front or rear camera for non 360 shots, etc. all from the camera itself. I highly recommend it, and Typically only connect to my phone to view the photos, and it connects easy and fast every time. Hope that helps, if you have any questions ask away!
Q: Would it be feasible for this camera to be used as a baby monitor?
A: You could, but it eats up a lot of bandwith and data. It may slow down your network if you're streaming over your WiFi. There's probably better options for less money, but if you want this anyway, it could be done as a temporary thing or as a portable one like when at granny's house or something
Q: Can you use the 360 camera by itself without having to install the app on your phone?
A: Yes, but in a limited capacity. It is very cumbersome to use with out the app. This device works with all flag ship Samsung devices from the previous 3 generations and with IOS. You can also use it on any other android device via the Google Street View app, however you can not control the light settings through the Street View app. The least expensive device to use solely for the app would be an iPhone SE or a Samsung Galaxy 6.
A: You need to zoom up to get a normal looking picture Use your mouse to move in any direction while zoomed to get the picture you want
Q: What size (storage) SD card would be recommended for this?
A: I used a 128GB Samsung EVO SD card (currently on sale). This provides for just under 13 hours of full 360 recording. However, I discovered that the device splits long videos in to clips of just under 12 minutes each, and it takes a long time to save a clip that long to the phone's storage.
Q: Can you post YouTube videos With this camera??
A: Yes. There is free software you can download to your PC or Mac for stitching and sharing. You can't do much editing though. You can also live stream to YouTube and/or Facebook if tethered to your Android or iOS smartphone using their Samsung app.
Q: Can I access the camera from anywhere using my cellphone?Do l only need Wi Fi connection?
A: Yes, this camera allows access from anywhere via the Samsung Gear 360 app and you can control your camera remotely.
Q: how closely will this focus?
A: Unfortunately, you have to be pretty close to focus it. There is no remote control feature to focus it. I tried using my TV remote but it didn't always work.
