INS-2 4K USB 13MP Document Camera with Auto Focus,

It does precisely what it is supposed to!
I’m flummoxed and surprised!Given the price point for this camera, I wasn’t really expecting much. My old flatbed scanner was being recalcitrant and didn’t want to reinstall when I reinstalled Win10. After many muttered profanities I realized the old scanner WAS old, and didn’t have current drivers. Also having a really cheap webcam I decided a multi-use item was what I wanted.I was rather pleasantly surprised by so many things upon receipt of this newfangled gadget: – limited but sufficient packaging so not much of an environmental impact, but enough to protect it during shipping; – small set-up guide in an age where they’re even leaving these out to save money; – sturdy base and design (not industrial-grade, but it feels like it’ll hold together for a long while); – no media in the package, rather go and get the latest version from their website (which makes sense), and this turned out to be a quick and easy installation (no muss, no fuss); – a surprising amount of well-done documentation on the website, AND it is easy to find; – the software that comes with it only takes a few minutes to master, but if you DO run into a roadblock there are straightforward videos to help you out.I’ve only used it for about 15 minutes but I already feel like it will do everything I wanted and possibly more. It even does the document scanning I need it to – easy and with decent quality.Now if I can just find the setting that will help ME look better ON camera…—=== ADDENDUM ===—Okay, so it’s a couple days later. Right after posting the initial review I found a few documents on my desk I had to ‘scan’ in. It was as easy as my out-of-box practice, and I’m still surprised at how clear the document comes out. While it isn’t quite as seamless as a flat bed scanner, it’s better than I expected (it takes longer to set up, and you may want to crop borders, etc.). Still, I’m quite happy with it when used to scan documents.Yesterday I had an all-day virtual exercise to participate in and I used this camera and microphone instead of my usual setup. It performed beautifully.My old microphone is bigger than this whole unit but wasn’t necessary as I was told I came through just fine with the pin-hole microphone on this little camera unit.At first, I wasn’t pleased with the camera resolution, then I remembered I’m in a dark basement – so with the addition of a single light with a non-glare bulb and that was taken care of.Again, all-in-all I’m still quite pleased with this little camera. I’m even more delighted with the amount of desk space I get back after removing that big old flatbed scanner!

Excellent. Inexpensive and well designed
I needed an inexpensive document camera for a lecture and this little unit is perfect. The software operating system download from the internet was quick and easy. I used my Mac laptop and I had no problems at all. I also downloaded the full instructions which are very complete and easy to understand. I was worried that the flex arm for the camera would be wobbly, but it has tightening adjustments and is very solid and stable. The camera controls are on the camera itself and work well. I am very happy with the camera’s design and functionality.

A must have- it’s Fantastic. It’s versatility & sharpness with a quality USB connection
Vid quality is almost stunning under a wide range of lighting.Life is SO much simpler with a continuous auto-focus that WORKS.An older hub USB connection made vid quality bad.The free Documate software makes you long for ALL software to be this good:simple, easy to use & very versatile. Replaced my regular scanner since it’s so small,allows zeroing in on a specific area & duck-soup easy to copy, save, redo & mark up.Used it for class presentations & for documenting healing of surgery scars on my back.The base is heavy enough it’s almost untippable & stays stable when moved.
