An amazing way to transfer documents, pictures and bulletin boards to a locked Enerprise computer

I love this device. I'm a strategy consultant doing a lot of whiteboarding, business analysis and logistics planning for a Fortune 500 company. Our security environment is extremely tight, and it's even frowned upon to scan things at home and email attachments to yourself. This device solves many problems. 1) It requires no drivers and is recognized by everyone (Skype, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, etc.) as a webcam. 2) I can actually use it as a webcam. 3) I can use it as a document. Scanner by setting the webcam preview (from Skype or other tool) to full screen and taking a screenshot of the Cut and Crop or TechSmith SnagIt windows. Group Session5) I can (and that's nice) put the screen of a phone, tablet or transformer laptop underneath. and it captures the screen of an external electronic device PERFECTLY, allowing me to get an image on my company PC. 6) Replaces my flatbed scanner for documents and the occasional photo shoot. And it's also well focused on 3D objects. My colleagues are really shocked. And to talk a little more about #5, I needed a schema (for a presentation) that was on a website that was blocked by our proxy server and firewall companies. I just installed it on an iPad 12.9, put the iPad on the table and use the camera to take a picture of the image on the "locked laptop". The controls are easy to use and you can rotate, pause and reorient. It's also a decent webcam if you raise your hand and turn the camera around. I also admit that she works WELL to take product photos for some of my wine reviews. or an easier to use version of it. I wasn't expecting anything more sophisticated than the equivalent of an overhead projector my primary school teachers used in the 1980's. It is indeed a very versatile tool. If there are drivers or software I can't talk to them because I can't install them on my locked computer. However, the built-in (hardware) controls do everything externally, so I see no need for drivers. My computer is just another "generic webcam", but the controls for lighting, color balance, brightness, etc. (which I assume are built into the imaging hardware) are just great. pick it up You will not regret it. I'm still finding new uses for it.
