Comfortable and cute!

The HUE HD Pro USB Document Camera is one of my favorite tools in my class right now. I love how I can video my students editing the text in the writing workshop and then we can go back and watch it again. What a great help to my little people! Setup was easy and the customer support is great. I recommend this tool for every class. Great value for money. (And the colors are cute too!)

Pros
  • A dream comes true
Cons
  • There are more interesting options.

IRRESPONSIBLE! WORKS PERFECT! VIRTUAL CLASS RESCUE!

I am a teacher teaching virtually from the virus suddenly. It's a SAVE! That's great! I have never seen devices work so flawlessly! The software comments are wrong - you enter a code, then they email you a license number - and that's what you enter. You don't just have 1 activation - you have 8 of them! I personally don't have more than 8 laptops! So fun, so flawless and so cheap! I LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Pros
  • Expensive but decent
Cons
  • Periodicity

Do not buy. You will regret it.

I've already spent 2 hours installing and activating the camera software and still no success. This camera is useless and you will regret buying it. I used the activation code, then the license key, and finally the offline code and nothing works. Very unpleasant. I found my previous comments on this product a bit harsh after getting customer support up and running with the HUE Intuition software, but now I'm having trouble using the software. For example, it's not possible to change the default

Pros
  • There's something in there
Cons
  • A lot

Ideal for teachers with very simple plug and play!

Visualizers are the standard at many universities for the sciences but not the humanities. I teach children's literature and use a lot of picture books, which are quite expensive compared to a semester course. So this camera has proved very handy for sharing with my students, focusing on individual pages or images for discussion and keeping costs low. It's small, portable, and easy to set up; perfect for those of us who rotate classes throughout the day. I have already asked several colleagues…

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • I won't say anything

Required for distance learning

I'm a teacher and I had to go through quarantine this week and I'm doing distance learning with my entire class. Ordered this on Saturday to use for a science experiment on Monday. Arrived half an hour before the experiment! I hooked it up to my Mac Air (using the USB adapter I have), downloaded the software (because I wanted to record, it worked right away even without the software) and recorded the experiment live for those who were absent as I watched it via Zoom used for the children it has

Pros
  • Crossing my fingers
Cons
  • Can hurt

Poorly Working Document Camera

I needed a simple document camera that could be easily connected to my computer to simulate math with students. Great picture quality and promising features, but Hue HD can't handle movement in use. Whether I was recording or working live, every time I moved or manipulated my hand, the image would freeze. I like the idea of being able to record so I can send it to students who couldn't attend class, but once the image freezes the whole video recording goes haywire. Since it crashed every time I

Pros
  • Always Liked
Cons
  • Appearance

I bought this document camera to use in my classroom. I use it to show student work, demonstrate document analysis, view pictures, etc. It can also be used for filming, which is very convenient. This has worked well so far, but I have two complaints: (1) The camera is constantly adjusting between light and dark based on how it perceives the environment. This means when I bend over the document, the brightness of the display changes (I'm projecting it onto a SMART Board). It's quite annoying and

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Power outlet required

Updated review February 2021 (configuration error)

Review below ==== was my original review. I bought two of these in April 2020 to use in different homes. The connection of the cable to the back of the base started to separate on both. First it crashed intermittently while setting up the camera, now both users find it fails by simply moving the base slightly. Recently it has collapsed when sitting without adjustment. If you buy this please do not move the camera as it will eventually start to fail. I buy another brand. ==== This webcam is the…

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Mostly ok but...

Camera is fine, software VERY buggy and unreliable

When I first got this camera I thought it was pretty good. It was just a headache to set up on my computer as the website didn't recognize one of my keys (make sure you write them both down. The second one is needed if the wording suggests it might not). But that first problem should have been a warning. I bought this camera because I am a teacher teaching online due to the current COVID virus. I need to be able to shoot videos for my 4th grade. The first few videos were great (after figuring…

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
