Our camera arms are designed to work with the Winmau Plasma 360 Light, Target Corona Light or the Mission Torus 270 Light, and they are fully compatible with the Auto Darts system, including the latest pre-burned Auto Darts Firmware.
Which dartboard lights are compatible with your camera arms?
At the moment, our camera arms are compatible with two popular dartboard lights:
- Winmau 360 Plasma Dartboard Light
- Target Corona Vision Lighting System
- Mission Torus 270 Light
Both of these lights are specifically designed to provide even lighting for your dartboard and stability for the Dart Eyes camera arms, which is essential for accurate dart tracking with the Auto Darts system.
How do the camera arms work with Auto Darts?
Our camera arms are designed to hold cameras at the optimal angles above the dartboard. These cameras then track the trajectory and location of the darts you throw. The data from the cameras is sent to your computer, where the Auto Darts software processes it to automatically score your game.
Do I need to install software for the cameras to work?
Yes, in order for the cameras to function properly, you will need to have the Auto Darts software installed on your computer. This software is responsible for integrating the camera feed and calculating your scores. The software will support up to three USB cameras, which is the number required for full functionality with our camera arms.
Can I use any camera with the camera arms?
Our camera arms are designed to work with specific USB cameras that are compatible with the Auto Darts scoring system. While you can use other cameras, we recommend using cameras that are specifically supported by the Auto Darts software to ensure the best performance and compatibility.
Can I use the camera arms with other dartboard lights?
Our camera arms are specifically designed for the Winmau Plasma 360 Light, Target Corona Vision Light & Mission Torus 270 Light. While other dartboard lights may be physically compatible, we cannot guarantee the same level of stability and performance with other models. For the best experience, we recommend using one of the supported lights.

Do I need to use all three cameras for the system to work?

This step is crucial for precise dart tracking.
