Unlike the first generation Home system, Scolia Home 2 uses fixed camera legs without any hinge joints. These carefully designed legs provide optimal performance even in commercial and competitive environments. Once the system is installed, there is no need for any manual adjustment or calibration during everyday use.
The Scolia Home 2 can be attached to the wall using one screw per camera leg. This attachment ensures robustness, reliable performance and durability in all circumstances.
The processing unit of the Home 2 is equipped with a Wi-Fi dongle, thus natively supporting wireless connections. No additional Wi-Fi bridge is necessary.
If visual disturbances, external light sources, or significant movements can affect the images captured by your Home 2 cameras, attach the side covers to enhance the accuracy of your system. These lightweight covers are designed not to disrupt your concentration.
Like its predecessors, the Home 2 supports standard dartboards with a traditional white metal number ring. Moreover, the enhanced image processing algorithm now also ensures smoother performance with the popular Winmau Blade 6 Triple Core and the Unicorn Eclipse Pro dartboards.
No additional drilling is necessary if you already have a Winmau Plasma. The camera legs of the Home 2 are designed to fit seamlessly with the popular light surround.
If you don’t have a Winmau Plasma light, you can get your Home 2 product with a light ring, which works equally well with the system.
