Hovercam Neo3

2.0

Response from Touchboards: something is definitely wrong with this camera or computer. The image should be quite clear but we recommend people now get the new Solo8 which is the world's first 4K resolution document camera. It is light years ahead of the neo3

Although the price of the Hovermcam was less than other document cameras (Elmo in particular), I guess you get what you pay for! The quality of the image is lacking for one thing. My first camera had to be returned and they sent a different one that did not telescope up like the original. It seems like it needs to "adjust" (will be blurry and distort) every time I turn a page in a book or focus on some new image. I would definitely not recommend this camera to other teachers-pay the higher price for a better quality product.

Wanted a 'cuter' ine

5.0

When i called i asked for an education on doc cameras and projectors . Paul got on the phone, asked me for somw info on how i'd be using this. Answred i added, i saw one in action and although 'cute' ithere was a lag time. I didnt want that. Paul highly recommended the Neo 3 When i (easily) set it up, with the projector ( also his rec.) it was more than i couldve hopes for. So sturdy, bright, extra cameras that i can use when i learn (that is) make videos, and light enough to be truly portable. Thank You! by the way, no peessure to buy after the education! I even called back later to order after i checked w my partner.

great camera for the classroom

4.0

This was my first camera to have in my classroom. I love having the capability of projecting the page we are working on together up on my screen. It focuses well and it's easy for the students to see.

The Hovercam Neo3 document camera is wonderful! The students love being able to see their actual workbook pages and or the pages of our literature book (including pictures) that we are reading in class. Easy to use and great for keeping the students engaged on the task at hand.

Excellent Document Camera

5.0

The NEO3 is as close as you can get to an Elmo without paying the price. I have been very pleased with my camera. It has been a wonderful addition to my classroom, and my students have benefited from having this tool. It is very easy to install and use. Anytime I've had questions, customer service at TouchBoards has been extremely helpful. I have recommended this product and will continue to recommend this product to anyone considering purchasing a document camera. You will not be disappointed in this product!

Great Camera, Mediocre Software

3.0

The Neo3 is a great camera for connecting directly to a projector or monitor via VGA. When connecting via USB to a computer I had some difficulty with the software recognizing the correct camera. The microphone isn't the best either, but you only need it if you are connecting via USB and recording video. My opinion is that this is a great, cost effective alternative to the ELMO Teacher's Tool if you are using the VGA interface only.

Great inexpensive document camera

The Hovercam Neo3 is a great alternative to other more expensive document cameras. It is light, easy to operate and easy to store.

Teachers love it

5.0

The Hovercam provides another dimension for integrating the SmartBoard into classroom instruction. At first the teachers were not sure how easy it would be to use, or how relevant to what they were teaching but when it arrived they were thrilled. Last year the HoverCam was shuttled back and forth so often that our teachers asked the PTO to purchase a second one and then a parent who had seen how beneficial the document camera was in her own son's classroom donated the money to buy a third. Our goal is now to raise the money to have one in each classroom so no more sharing!
