In the classroom, I use the Aver Vision document camera, which at that price point at about $200 or above the Solo 5, and I would have to say, hands down, I would rather have the Solo 5 than the one I have in my classroom, largely because that auto focus feature is super quick. So I’m writing notes, and my students are taking notes, whatever it is I’m doing, I move my hands in and out, you see it auto focuses pretty quickly without any problems. What I want to show you is that obviously when you do some notes, you move in and out of the camera view. Like the note taking option here, as teachers we like to take notes. You simply download the software, which takes a couple of minutes, and you’re ready to go. The best part about this camera is that, you plug the USB into the back of the camera, and you’re ready to go. We don’t want to spend hours trying to figure it out. We don’t want to spend 20 minutes setting it up. As an educator, we want to be able to bring the product into the classroom. What I’m going to focus on is primarily the video purposes. Also Archive, for archiving all of your files that you have. It’s always nice to have collaboration because education is priceless. Connect, connecting, that means my document camera can talk to your document camera. Scanning, well, it eliminates the need for another scanner, already a pro. You’ll see that the HoverCam Flex Version 3.0 software has a lot of options, one of which, of course, is video, a big perk for us, especially if you have project based learning, if we’re talking about classrooms, if we’re talking about electronic portfolios, I can go on and on, videos…big deal. What I’m going to show you is probably the biggest perk in the price difference of the two. It’s really not anything massive to carry around. What I really like about it is that it comes with a very nice carrying case, so that’s a pro too, if I’m taking it somewhere, if I’m doing some speaking, and consulting and things like that, I like to have that carrying case. It is, as you will see, a very durable, very heavy duty, and it is, but the pro is that it is still lightweight and very easy to carry. It’s They do have other products besides the Solo 5 so if the Solo 5 isn’t exactly what you want, there are others, but today, this is what we’re going to focus on. The camera that you are currently watching me on is my IPEVO and I’m going to do the webcast and screen cast on the Solo 5. At a $69 price point, it was 2 thumbs up for obviously educational purposes. I, in the past, have reviewed the IPEVO.2 View, camera that I have liked. I’m excited today to shed a little light on what separates these two products. The HoverCam Solo 5 is at a higher price point, of $299 and so obviously, as educators, we want to know, what separates these two products. ![]() Today, we are talking document cameras and the document camera we are going to talk about today is the Solo 5 from HoverCam. ![]()
