Question: Right now, I only use an overhead projector for my classroom. What other devices will I need to run the IPEVO - a computer? a projector of some kind?
Document: I bought this to use with my projector in my classroom. It works very well. The picture is clear and the kids can see it just fine. I did figure out that you need to have a light source near the paper you have under the camera or it will cause a blinking to happen that is annoying. Once I put a small desk lamp by the camera it works great. This is so much better than using an overhead and transparencies!
I ordered the IPEVO Point 2 document camera after much research and reading of reviews. I am so glad I did. For a teacher who travels to many classrooms this sure beats those old bulky overhead projectors. With a laptop and projector I can use this anywhere. Up to date software downloads from the IPEVO site in about 2 minutes. For such an inexpensive doc camera it projects very clearly and I love the photo feature.
Our school has a limited number of ELMO devices, so naturally, we have to share them. But now that I bought my own IPEVO Point 2 View to project onto my ActiveBoard, that isn't an issue any longer. It was easy to set up and does exactly what I need it to do:  display a live view of model texts, student writing, notes, handouts, and anything else I want to show students on the big screen.
Don't walk, RUN and get this document camera. I use it in my classroom now and no longer use the old fashioned overhead projector. This document camera pays for itself in no time at all...for the price of two boxes of overhead slides!! !
This camera with a very sturdy standIPEVO Point 2 View USB Camerais the answer I've been looking for! The camera quality is good and 3x zoom works great for the things I want to share. I have been using it to show images on my macbook screen, then I create quicktime videos with screen recording. I can also connect my computer to a projector to show what I am doing in real time.The quality is so much better than someone recording me doing a demonstration.The price is right too.
The image the camera projects is very grainy and unsteady even when the desk and camera are stationary. When the image is run through a mounted projector the image quality only gets worse. Turning on Photo Booth and lowering the lid of my Macbook displayed a much better image. I borrowed a small computer-top web camera purchased for less than $20 from a big-box retailer from another teacher and it projected a significantly better quality image than this camera. I ended up returning this camera to Amazon for a refund.
I got this camera to use in my elementary classroom. It is fabulous and so affordable. It makes overheads obsolete. I don't know how I did without it. You do need an LCD projector to make it work. I had looked at the ELMO but it was too pricey and I knew I would not get it from the school district.This really filled the bill.
I use it mostly to show my students annotations, fill in worksheets and write out examples, and also images from books etc. It is a great classroom tool! The only drawbacks are the need for light. If you are using this in a dark classroom you will need extra light so the kids can see what is being projected. It is a small detail and does not take away from how awesomeness of this tiny projector.
Bought this for my classroom and it gets the job done. My presentations are much better with the IPEVO. I was skeptical because of the price but it does everything I need. I haven't used any other document cameras so I don't have anything to compare it to. For the price, you won't be disappointed.
I just got the camera today. I played around with it in the house and I like it. I bought it to use while teaching. However, there's no clip in the box. Every review I've watched about this camera had a clip included in the box, but mine didn't come with a clip. I feel kind of ripped off. I actually need the clip. How can this be resolved?
Answer: You would be better of with a good quality webcam and use your own or make your own brackets.  These cameras are iffy at best, and you are paying for the bracket not the quality of the camera.  I switched to a better nice HD camera for under this price by logitec. Quality is great on the Logitec and comes with software and great options. Good luck.
