A TrackerPod® is a small robotic tripod for webcams. It connects to a computer via a USB port, and allows movement of a webcam (that is, pan and tilt), both by the person using the computer, and also by another person somewhere else in the world who is viewing the webcam over the Internet. This gives a wider range of view for the webcam.

The TrackerPod was designed by Eagletron Inc. in Canada and has been on the market since 2001. It is called a "Tracker"Pod because bundled software allows for automatic tracking of moving objects or people.
