Works great!
I sacrificed and bought a doc cam with my own money for virtual learning. It’s worth the level of engagement I have with my students because I can model clearly for my K students, and they can see the pictures of the books. It’s fairly sturdy, but shakes a little if you bump the table, not a huge deal, but give you a sense of the solidness of it. The armature so far has held and stays in place. I did place it on a yoga block to give me more height to show larger picture books and it’s great. The light does a decent job since I did have to turn off the lights one day to let a wayward hummingbird fly out of my room. (Didn’t work, it took 3 custodians and a vice principal to help it out) I use a MacBook and it is plug and play since it works with Quicktime with Google Meet without using any additional software to download.

Easy, smooth functionality with lots of perks!
I am in love with my new inSwan document camera! I just got it out of the box, and it was super easy to set up. It is sleek and does not take up a lot of space on my desk. It is so easy to use, and it comes with software that lets you effortlessly take video and photos. You can use it for documents or rotate it up to view your face for video conferencing. You can use it live to show books and things you are writing, and it has on-screen drawing capabilities so that you can draw shapes, lines, arrows, text for freeform drawings over the images you are displaying. You can even pull up images from your computer to draw on. It also has a whiteboard feature to just draw without any images. You can capture all of your notes on top of your images to save for later, and you can copy those notes without the underlying image as well. You can use the selecting tool to capture just parts of your images and notes, and you can save them in a file or copy them to a clipboard to use elsewhere. It’s all so simple, intuitive, and user friendly, and it has so many functions I didn’t even imagine I could want! It will make my life so much easier! I’d like to thank the designers for thinking of everything. 🙂

Easy setup and a clear crisp picture
I was a little concerned before buying this as some reviews suggested it was challenging to get setup. I have no idea what these people are talking about, it couldn’t have been easier. You just go on the website, hit the downloads tab, and the download is the first thing you see on the page. Then you plug it in and it’s ready to go.The picture quality is very clear, the autofocus, though it takes a minute works very well. There is no zoom button on the actual camera but you can zoom in on the software so that works great. I sampled a few papers and used it with recording software for recording lessons. It works great and I think it will make next school year go much smoother for me. I was hesitant to spend this kind on money on something for school, but I am glad I did. I think it will be such an important tool since I can’t teach in person next year. This will allow me to retain some strong teaching practices and put them on video for students.Very happy with my purchase. If you are a teacher, highly recommend!

Hard to get but …
This item was out of stock and I had to wait awhile for delivery. I got the impression that the Asian manufacturer was caught unprepared for a sudden spike in demand for its product at the outset of the pandemic.That aside, it’s a pretty decent, yet somewhat tiny document camera. I tutor math, so I rely pretty heavily on it (else I’d have to revert back to Facetime, which isn’t optimal). I just wish it was a little taller so I wouldn’t have to set it on a fat book. Even then, I have to move my worksheet around and occasionally, I go “off camera.”The quality is good enough, though a bit plasticky/flimsy. I imagine I could stomp on it, turning it into a mangled mess short order, but I’m not tutoring in a particularly hostile environment (though one or two students occasionally aggravate me to the point of wanting to stomp on something and the inSwan would be a convenient and highly stompable target).Make sure you have a table light to supplement its not-so-bright built-in light. My overhead lighting makes shadows on the paper. (Imagine if you were in the basement in War of the Worlds, and there was ceiling fan lighting above the mechanical snake-like alien entity as it sought you out–just how annoying would that be to be stalked by something which created shadows wherever it went).But for its minor shortcomings, it’s a relatively inexpensive and utilitarian device which makes remote tutoring go much better. I do miss tutoring at Starbucks though.

Great for rock samples in Geology classes!
I’m using this for the upper level geology courses I teach online. I mostly bought it to be able to talk about the finer details of rock and mineral samples. This has been great. Good color, good focus, pretty crisp image. I think it has the ability to focus just a bit more closely than the description suggests, but you can zoom in pretty nicely as well. This is better than face-to-face in many ways, as we can all see the same fine details at the same time. I anticipate bringing this into the classroom when we return to face to face. It’s also great for notes or sketches. The software is easier. I’m not taking advantage of any of its additional capabilities, but I think they have a lot of promise. Overall, easy, compact, pretty good quality, reasonable price.

Me queda súper bien para dar clases de pintura, aunque por la estructura vibra un poco

Ce scanner est performant et «souple». Je l’utilise pour des travaux où les scanners de livres ou à plat sont mal adaptés.Le gros reproche qui vaut les seules trois étoiles est dû à la qualité du logicel fourni. Tout est à revoir : ergonomie, performance, fonctions disponibles, etc. Ce logiciel est digne des années très antérieures à notre époque. À signaler le fait que le scanner n’est pas reconnu par d’autres logiciels d’imagerie.
