I would rate these document cameras a 5. I have received a lot of feedback from teachers one how well they are working and the ease of use. We have found they are compatible with some of our new interactive display boards so we have replaced many of our old cameras with the HoverCam Solo 5.

it really is terrific

5.0

Just to let you know, I’ve finally been working with the Hovecam Solo5 and it really is terrific. I needed to capture old maps that are bound in oversized books, too cumbersome for copying, and it is so much better to have the images captured digitally so I can zoom in the areas of interest. Also, using it for capturing photos in old albums that have been pretty much cemented to the page. They are impossible to remove and scan individually without destroying the album.

Resolution and quality are tremendous. And the ability to dictate notes that are translated to text…well…that’s just awesome! Now, if I just can get comfortable with moving it in different directions. It feels like a mirror-image motion, but the more I use it, I see improvement with my ability to master this.

Great Doc Cam For Video Conferencing

5.0

Mine was a two fold interest. I needed to find out what a document camera was capable of and where to implement it.

I've reviewed 4 different type of document cameras and I absolutely love the Solo5. It is very easy to install as well as use. What I was most impressed with was the quality of the video as well as the audio from the built in microphone. The 5 mp camera for video conferencing in classrooms was outstanding.

The product works very well and I have placed it in an industrial environment. I use it to show the BOM on a monitor so operators don't have to pick up the packet to see the BOM. On screen controls may be a little confusing for some. Suggest locking out mouse or keyboard after set-up if untrained personnel have access.

Excited about the possibilities

5.0

I have been dying to have a document camera in my classroom and upon reciept of a small grant I was able to purchase the Solo 5. I've just playing with it for a day or so, but am so excited about its applications in the classroom. It was easy to set up and install the software (although I did have to restart my computer to get it to recognize the camera which was not mentioned in the instructions anywhere). It takes up very little room so I'll be able to leave it at the ready all time. However, it is also super simple to tuck away should I need the table space. The kids are so excited to use it and I am planning on an assignment to create a tutorial so that they can use the video recording feature.

The HoverCam that I got for my classroom is great. It opens the doors to so many things in the classroom. In science I am able to project the materials for the lesson on the Smartboard and the children can get a good understanding of what is expected of them. It is also great for discussion. The Doc Cam is used to project student work for discussion as well.

Convenient and easy to use. Quality of document/graphics displayed above average. Have seen better and yet much worse. Only problem we have is glare from lights/lamps in classroom. Always too dark or too light. Perhaps it could be the lighting in our classrooms. Overall good purchase for the money. Excellent rapport from support sales/personnel.

Response from Touchboards: I believe this is your room lighting. If the image is too bright you can simply turn off the LED lights on the hovercam. Most of the time you dont even need the LED lights on the hovercam.

Hovercam Solo 5 is great. I like how the base of the camera has all the controls so I don't have to sit near the computer. I also like how the neck moves and how the head also moves and has controls on it as well. I had an old LCD projector before and it didn't work that well with that projector. But with the new digital LCD projector I have now this camera is wonderful.
I bought the long USB cable as well, which I couldn't find in any store and most certainly not for the price they have here. It allowed me to set up my camera away from my desk and closer to the students.
More than anything, the customer service at Touchboards is what has impressed me. They are so accommodating, so helpful and responded to my request so fast I couldn't believe it. I have NEVER received such excellent

This camera is incredibly powerful, and the Flex software is easy to install and master without any training. It is intuitive to use, and functions seamlessly with both Mac and PC. (but the online tutorials are also very helpful and very well done.) Even better, customer service is outstanding at TouchBoards AND at HoverCam -- there's absolutely no reason to have a question, because both seller and manufacturer will do whatever it takes, and timely, to help you figure out any issues. It is portable, light, won't topple over, and the resolution is fantastic. The software also provides options to adjust the brightness, resolution, image size, screen shots, videos -- it's simply fantastic, versatile, and absolutely a steal for the price.

Although I haven't had an opportunity yet to see if it will fulfill my need I believe that it will.

CONS:
As I believe the HoverCam Solo 5, will fulfill my needs there are no cons as far as I am concerned.

Portable 5MP Document camera

4.0

I am the Territory Manager for Touchboards. I attend all of the trade shows and conferences. I also do all on site presentations and demonstrations.
Here are my thoughts on the latest document camera from HoverCam, the SOLO5.
PROS;
Size-This document camera is very portable with a small footprint so that it will not take up a lot of space on your desk. It also folds up and fits into a soft pouch that is included.
Images- the SOLO5 has a 5MP camera that produces images that are very comparable to cameras that cost hundreds of dollars more. When the camera is at its “standard” position, it will capture a 8.5”x11” area. The head of the camera can be moved up so that a larger area, such as A4, A3, and Legal, can be viewed. The camera has auto focus and an auto focus
