Review on πŸ“Έ IPEVO VZ-1 HD VGA/USB Dual-Mode Document Camera (CDVU-05IP): Enhance Visual Presentations with Clear and Versatile Imaging by Todd Calloway

Revainrating 5 out of 5

If you are a teacher this is great for your class!

This worked great in my wife's class. It connects directly to a 42” TV and your students can see it clearly from anywhere in the classroom. This has to be one of the easiest devices to get because my wife used it before school with minimal instruction and hasn't had any questions about it since school started. The lack of questions was worth the price. :) The only problem I have is that when you plug the USB cable into a computer port, it automatically switches to computer camera mode, i.e. if you want to use the TV directly you have to use the included adapter power supply with USB cable . Not that hard, but one more thing is tapping into an already overflowing surge protector. Focus is at the push of a button. Light writing with a #2 pencil on white lined paper takes the camera very well, as does printed text from a textbook. I haven't played around with the software, so I can't comment on how it works on a computer.

Pros
  • Dual mode versatility: You can also stream live images directly to PC or Mac via USB
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
