Dead on Priority is good for computer accessories and peripherals

If you decide to buy, open and test it as soon as you receive it. I waited a bit before opening it as I bought it for work and didn't need it right away. It didn't work at all - the image got stuck and Revain's help chat couldn't fix it so I got my money back which was quick and easy. Instead, I bought a Speedal Stream webcam and it worked right out of the box. I am using Microsoft Surface with Windows 10 Pro.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • I'm worried

I see clearly now.

For $25 I got a portable USB powered visualizer that I carry in my laptop bag and take with me from class to class! This is sufficient to demonstrate student work and/or demonstrate math problem solving. Sensitivity to light is good. My only concern is that the gooseneck could use an injection of Viagra or Cialis - it sags a bit when fully extended ;)

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Only available in black

Not as good as Doc Cam.

Claimed as a visualizer: HUE HD is not large enough to display the entire page. Image quality was not clear enough to make printed text acceptably sharp at certain distances/focus points. It could be a good webcam, but it doesn't work very well (in my opinion) as a document camera. I might have been spoiled with high end devices (Elmo) but even at a great price it wasn't enough to use in my class.

Pros
  • Done
Cons
  • Security

Clear actionable images

I used this camera to simulate various written prompts for my preschoolers who were studying virtually this summer. I really liked that it's light and versatile. I found it useful for simulating math at the same time. My students were totally engaged with the lessons they could see on this camera. I also love green.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Available in white only

Works great for us!

Works great and the resolution is better than some of the more expensive ones. We use it as a document camera in the classroom, connected to a Windows 8 computer and a projector. Used daily.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Bad instructions

Doesn't hang or flow; Returned twice

I bought this product twice because it crashed when I tried to use it over my LCD projector. Work. I was using the camera app on my computer (which was recommended by the manufacturer) and it froze like it was in still mode. I sent it back and quickly received the second one, but after a few days of use it crashed again.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Weight

It's worth it, even if you have problems

I use it as a document camera in my class. It basically gets the job done, although it doesn't adapt well to a dark room. It can be difficult to get him to focus. However, I use it every day and will continue to do so because it's so much better than standing in front of my Promethean board battling the tech with two dozen high schoolers fooling around behind me.

Pros
  • Regular price
Cons
  • Almost never

Doesn't hang or flow; returned twice

Bought this product twice because it crashed when I tried to use it over my LCD projector. I am a teacher and I use the document camera to view annotations or to show and tell students about my work. I was using the camera app on my computer (which was recommended by the manufacturer) and it froze as if in still mode. I sent it back and quickly received the second one, but after a few days of use it crashed again.

Pros
  • FLEXIBLE: Unique, user-friendly USB camera with innovative design and integrated microphone.
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

Ideal for animation

Although you can use this product for its intended purpose, e.g. B. as a webcam, it has another fantastic use. Animation. As an elementary school teacher and father, I used this camera when the kids were making little animation films. It's fully adjustable due to the gooseneck, so you can position it over your cutouts or paper dolls and then use the manual focus to get it just right. With a free program like SAM Animation (Mac) or Monkey Jam (PC), you can create your own little animation studio

Cons
  • Socket required

Lean, Mean, and Green

I have a Mac Mini (version 10.11.1 El Capitan). The HUE webcam works great with Mac Photo Booth, QuickTime Player and FaceTime. (I wasn't trying to have an actual FaceTime session, but my picture appears on the login screen when I launch the app.) The HUE webcam's built-in microphone also works well. The Mac TextEdit app uses speech recognition and the microphone picked up exactly what I said when I tested it. HUE works on a "plug and play" basis, as described by the manufacturer. There is no…

Pros
  • VERSATILE: Ideal for photography, video recording, video conferencing, live streaming, time-lapse movies or stop motion animation (software not included).
Cons
  • weak
