P2V

I am an elementary teacher and use this product in my classroom. Before I purchased it, I compared it to several others on Amazon. I found that it had a good image quality and price point to fit my needs. I have had it for several months and would feel lost without it. We use it multiple times throughout the day. It is super simple for me to display a worksheet we are doing as a class, model with manipulatives, display something from a smaller screen, or display my students' work. It was easy as can be to install - just plug it into a USB port and the software installs automatically. The software is easy for anyone to use...even my 2nd graders navigate it with ease. There are functions to record your display, which would be easy to create videos of lessons for absent students or to share with parents. It's easy to zoom in and out and even take a still image (there's even button on actual camera). I especially like the stand on this camera. It stays in place well even if someone bumps the desk it sits on (which happens often...7-year-olds are clumsy), it will barely move. If it does move, it entire thing slides (less than 1/2 an inch). My colleague's camera has a flexible stand and she hates that it's constantly getting bumped and nudged - it's hard to find the "sweet spot" on hers. Even after owning it for almost a year now, it doesn't feel 'loose' - the quality has maintained well.

This is a clever, flexible and easy to use USB camera with many capabilities. The camera has a maximum resolution of 1600 x 1200 and a focal range from 2" to infinity. Both camera body and the articulated stand are lightweight plastic but they seem sturdy and I have had no problems to date. The base is also plastic but it is weighted and provides good stability. The camera can be detached and hand held or attached to the stand at three different points. Both manual and autofocus are available, as is an instant photo button. Setup is trivial since it operates with a standard UVC interface and no external driver is needed. I purchased this device to record multiple images on a timed basis and planned to use the SDK (available for both the Mac and Windows) to integrate it with another project. However, the IPEVO software is really quite good and so far I have found the built in capability to automatically record auto focused images at preset intervals is completely adequate for my current needs. I am very pleased with the performance and capabilities of this device.

My idea was to use it to capture video of me doing mathematical manipulations on a pad on my desk for teaching purposes. We do a lot of flipping the lecture nowadays, where the students watch the lecture on line, then we do something more active in class. Since I have access to software to convert screen capture, sound and computer camera to on-line video, the lack of video capture software was not a particular bother to me. It is important to follow the instructions exactly when setting it up. For a while I could not get it to work because I was starting the software and then plugging in the camera, and you have to do it the other way round or the camera appears to be dead. They do have capable on line chat help to get you through this kind of thing, although I discovered this myself by trial and error. Also, at first the camera was killing my USB ports and I had to restart the computer to get them back. The camera itself looks kind of cheesily built, but it seems to function OK, and the price is OK. The auto-focus can be an issue as it may keep cycling between focus and blurry while looking at a piece of paper on a desktop. Not sure why that is. Another reviewer had a good idea in getting the focus you want, then turning off the autofocus feature. The resolution does seem quite adequate for my purposes, once it is focused.

Although this camera is essentially a webcam, I bought it to use as a document camera at school based on the recommendations I read on Amazon. I needed a document camera to use to project lessons on the whiteboard at school and have had to share the school's document camera and projector with the other teachers on my team so I didn't always have access to it when I needed it. I had researched the cost of a document camera and projector and found the cost to be prohibitive until I saw this one. It was less than $70 so it fit my budget perfectly. The only problem that I had was that the laptop the school had provided was an older mac and it didn't have OS 5 on it so I wasn't able to use it. I have since been given a newer laptop with a compatible operating system. The camera works perfectly. I did read some reviews that complained there wasn't enough light to see the object they wanted to project but I have not had any problem at all with that. I also saw reviews that mentioned that you can't see the entire page unless you put the camera on something. I use a wooden block from my classroom but I found that I actually like having the ability to just focus on one part of the page at a time when I am showing my students the worksheet. I purchased this camera with the ViewSonic PJD5123 SVGA DLP Projector and the combined price was under $400 which is much better than the price my school pays for an ELMO document camera and projector. If you are in need of a document camera and projector but don't want to spend a fortune, you can't go wrong with these two. I've only been using them for 2 weeks but so far they have done the job I needed them to do. Just make sure you have OS 5 or above if you plan to use the IPEVO Point 2 View with a Mac since the camera must be connected to the computer in order to work.

正直、価格からあまり期待していなかったのですが、これは凄く重宝しました。 大人数での研修で、実際に機器をい動かしながらの説明をしないといけない場面が多く、 会社に言っても買ってもらえないので、自腹で購入。 価格も安く、映像も綺麗でかなり使えました。 １５０人規模の研修で、surfacepro４に使用しましたが、普通に使えました。 これは、お勧めです。

Having researched a suitable device for demonstrating objects to a large audience i finally decided the IPEVO P2V might be the answer. It was. For the price it did exactly what I needed it do and the audience were very complimentary, At least one other person decided to purchase one for their society. It is not the sturdiest piece of equipment, but it is not shody, nor flimsy. I think it is great value for the money and would recommend it to others needing something for the same purpose.

Habe mir die Kamera gekauft, weil ich zwar fast überall Beamer, aber fast nirgends Dokumentenkameras habe. Vorteile: - Mehr als ausreichende Auflösung - Sehr handlich - Mit Makroobjektiv tolles Zubehör für realienbasierten Unterricht - In der Preis/ Leistung unschlagbar - sehr gute Software Nachteile: - Keine LED-Beleuchtung an der Kamera Würde die Kamera jederzeit wieder kaufen und die Kollegen, denen ich sie bisher zeigte waren begeistert.

Acheté pour vidéo-projection de petits objets à l'occasion d'une conférence (des boutons de collection). Fonctionnement sans souci, que ce soit avec le soft fourni (pour WinXP SP3) ou avec guvcview (pour Ubuntu 12.04) Image déjà acceptable en faible luminosité, autofocus efficace (léger délai), bonne profondeur de champ... Possibilité d'enregistrer les clichés (ou des séquences vidéo ? Je n'ai pas essayé) via le PC

Pratica, maneggevole, leggera ed efficiente. Il software è di semplice istallazione ed utilizzo.
