Portable USB Document Camera
The Point 2 View USB Document Camera provides real-time video capture for documents, pictures, and three-dimensional objects — all at hundreds or even thousands less than conventional document cameras and overhead projectors. With its ultra-portable size and featherlight weight, the Point 2 View is a perfect mobile solution for teaching, presentations, distance learning, and video communication of all types.
The Point 2 View's versatility starts with its multi-jointed stand and weighted base. Three points of articulation mean that you can position the camera at most any height and angle. And the camera's ergonomic grip, as well as a universal monitor clip, give you even more view options.
The camera features an excellent macro mode to capture tiny details and the smallest text from as close as 2 inches (5 cm) away. Two focus modes ensure your image will stay razor-sharp. Snapshots can be taken with a single click, and custom software makes it easy to refine and organize your images.
Along with your PC or Mac computer and a digital projector, the Point 2 View can be used to project sharp, clear video for teaching or presentations. Resolution is adjustable up to high-definition 1600 x 1200. Additionally, the Point 2 View is ready for your video conferencing and remote learning needs, and is compatible with a wide variety of Instant Messaging applications, including Skype, Google Talk, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, and AOL.
The Point 2 View packs a whole lot of image-making power into a tiny package. And at this price, document cameras never have to bust your budget again.
