Suggested Equipment
Below are a list of Equipment that I have personally tried and tested as a Professional Adult Entertainment Model, and are highly recommended by other Top Models! I have also attached links to every photo so you can easily find the items below, Everything here can be purchased at Walmart! Click the photo to be linked to each item on Walmart.com!
Webcams
The webcam that a model uses can make all the difference while streaming. Logitech webcams are the tried and tested webcam that never fails. Other cameras work fine, but Logitech cameras will always have the best performance, regardless of cost. Below are webcams that are most highly recomended for streaming.
Logitech Webcam C270
-
Ive used a few of these, you can never go wrong with Logitech. The C270 is a quick, cheap, and easy buy when I did not have a webcam handy, or my current webcam had broken, and needed a temporary one. Perfect for new models
Logitech C920 or C922
-
The MOST recommended Webcam for models. I highly suggest upgrading to this webcam. I currently use this one, and has been my favorite for the majority of my cam career. Streams in the highest quality, and provides the smoothest feed. I used to pay $100 each for these, but they are now 50$!
Logitech Brio 500 Webcam
-
The other Most Recommended webcam by OG models, also streams at an extremely high resolution, crystal clear quality, and this one offers a wider range of view, giving models more space to move. This particular link I found comes with bonus items designed for streaming! The C920 works just as well, however this one offers just a little more for your feed. Prices for these have also gone down significantly compared to 10 years ago, making it much more accessible to models!
Studio Lights
I cannot stress enough how important it is for a model to have good lighting if they intend on making income from live webcamming. Cirle lights are wondrful for models that are streaming from their phones, however try to eventually upgrade to the 2 umbrella lights, minimum., as they are a staple to the live performer.
Tabletop Ring Light
-
In my opinion, An absolute Must if you would like to Stream Mobile, especially if your lighting is poor. Can also be used to hang a webcam on, where phone goes, and use a great, front lighting. Most have multiple settings, made especially to light up for live streamers. Always good to have on hand! If you have great lighting already, you do not need for streaming.
2 Basic Umbrella Studio Lights.
-
The CamGirl MUST HAVE for all models looking for perfect lighting. This is the lighting I used while streaming in Studios All over Florida, and in my own personal room. They used to cost 100$ each back then, but now they sell them 2 for 50$ on walmart's website. I strongly suggest eventually upgrading to this or the 4 lights upgraded set.
LFull Light Setup
-
Not required, however If you do plan on making camgirling your main for of income, taking camgirls very seriously or aim for the maximum amount of income possible, I suggest models upgrade eventually to having 2 umbrella lights, and 2 disperse lights. They also have a nice bonus light if one breaks. All 4 lights can heat the room up, however the effect it has on your studio is immaculate! This is my current lighting setup. The white backdrop has also been very beneficial for photo purposes!
Computers & Laptops
The device you use to stream from makes a massive impact on your streaming quality. Sometimes it can be confuseing when shopping for a pc, especially with how many are on the market, with a high price tag designed to make you believe they have better streaming capabilities. I have personally tried streaming from MANY different pcs and devices, discovering which ones had the capabilities to have that perfect feed, and which ones made it near impossible. I have listed the best ones, from all price ranges, that best supported high traffic live streaming. Do NOT just buy any laptopat walmart, Ive made this mistake many times, and my income greatly suffered for it. To avoid this, Ive added important information on what to look for when shopping.
HP 21.5" All-in-One PC, Intel Pentium, 8GB Memory,
-
Themost recent device I have tested fort Streaming, and I recommend this device for all models just starting out! It is a PC built into the screen, so it takes up much less room than a tower, a mouse and keyboard, internal webcam (however externals are always better) 4 usb ports, and an ethernet port! Absolutely perfect for live styreaming! It even have a built in ring light app, although cheesy, can really help light your face up in lower light situations. It comes with everything you need for streaming. Built in intel core, as all devices for streaming are highly recommended to have, at least, an I3 or above. Absolute win for Camgirls. Can also be found on Ebay for $270 if you prefer.
Intel Pentium Silver Core
8 GB Ram
Ethernet Port and Wifi
Bluetooth
Mouse and Keyboard come with package
Screen and tower Combined
HP Compaq 8300 Tower
-
The tower I currently use for Live streaming. I have personally had my tower for nearly 10 years, and still gives me the highest quality live feed. Streaming from a PC tower guarantees it will have enough Ram to support a high quality stream, even during super high traffic times. This tower has an i5 intel core, a must for streaming devices. This is just a tower, there is no screen, mouse or keyboard. It does have an ethernet port, but does not support wifi without a wifi adapter ( a usb wifi adapter is cheap and just plugs in). These towers used to cost hundreds of Dollars, but now a model can easily pay for this computer in just one day of streaming.
i5 intel core processor
1 TB hard drive
Ethernet Port
8GB Ram
Hp Pavilion Touchscreen Laptop
-
After streaming on nearly 15 different laptops over the years, this laptop was above all, the BEST. This is my device I currently use, and have used for a few years, for all my adult streaming purposes. It has an i7 core, and its touchscreen capabilities made streaming more convenient. Its quick and easy to mov around, so I can literally set up my live stream anywhere I feel like. It does not have an ethernet port, however its wifi capabilities are very strong. This device has been able to effortlessly handle all high traffic live streaming, and has assited in the maximum potential for making a huge income. When I had first purchased this Laptop, it was originally $900. Now the price for this has decreased to $600-$700. Although it seems expensive, it's completely worth the investment.
i7 intel core processor
1 TB harddrive
Touch screen
12GB Ram
Bluetooth
Wifi
These are my most recommended Devices for streaming, however you’re not limited to these 3. When searching for a laptop or pc, follow these minimum requirements and you will have a device that gives you perfect quality shows, for years.
Hp Pavilion Devices always has the best performance
Your device NEEDS to have an Intel core. an i3, i5 or higher. This is a MUST. If it does not have an intel core, it will not have the a processor adequate enough for streaming. in short, your feed will be pixely, blurry, low quality, with delayed unsynced audio. Instant turn-off for members.
If possible, try to grab a device with an ethernet port, so you can plug directly into the internet box. Some do not carry this function, which is fine if you extremely good Wifi service. I personally use Xfinity for my internet provider.
Generally, if you are or have done any live gaming,, you probably have a good idea about streaming equipment, upload and download speeds, and how they affect your live experience.
