The Hollyland VenusLiv is a compact box-style camera that measures 178 x 99.7 x 94.8mm / 7 x 3.9 x 3.7″ for a 900g/31.7oz weight. At the time of writing this article, there is little technical information about the camera. However, we know that the VenusLiv is powered by a Qualcomm processor, a Sony CMOS sensor, and runs under Hollyland’s own HollyOS.
Input and output ports
The Hollyland VenusLiv is powered by Sony NP-F style batteries. Hollyland mentions that one Sony NP-F 970 battery can power the camera for four to six hours. Furthermore, if you use the camera indoors, there is a 12V DC input with a locking connector.
The VenusLiv has two 1/4″-20 mounting points: one at the bottom and one on the side, so you can easily mount the camera horizontally or vertically.
Hollyland VenusLiv live-streaming features
The VenusLiv was designed to live stream 24/7 without overheating, thanks to an “advanced aerospace-grade heat dissipation system.” The camera supports the RTMP protocol, meaning it can stream to most social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitch, TikTok, YouTube, etc. The VenusLiv has built-in WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, but you can also use an Ethernet cable via the RJ45 port.
As I already mentioned, the USB-C 3.1 port at the back of the camera supports UVC (USB Video Class), so you can connect it directly to any computer that can recognize it as a webcam camera. Then, you can start streaming without needing an extra video capture card.
