Connectivity

The HoverCam Solo SPARK connects to your computer through USB (USB 2.0 cable is included) and it runs through HoverCam’s Flex software. This gives you the ability to capture images and video, adjust resolution, annotate, and control the camera from your interactive whiteboard. Compact and Versatile The camera has a very small footprint on your desk, and is very versatile, able to be positioned exactly where you want it to, using the 5 pivot points on the camera. It can even be positioned to look down a microscope (Adaptors available to purchase separately). It connects to your computer via USB, and does not need a separate mains cable, meaning it is very portable.

Image Resolution & Quality

The crystal-clear image is lag and blur-free; as are any videos recorded through the device. You can video for hours…. the only constraint is the size of your computer’s hard disk. You can record video at Full HD 1080P, and take still images in true 8-megapixel resolution.

Image Manipulation

You can also take photos (snapshots) using the device – from an A3 document to a business card (or even a microscope slide). These can be annotated if required, and all images and videos are managed by the archive manager. You can also crop images, or use OCR for text
recognition. You can even use Slingshot to drag the live image into Word, PowerPoint or your Interactive Whiteboard software.

Software

The powerful HoverCam software can be freely downloaded and installed throughout a school or department, meaning that if required, the camera can easily become a shared device.
The Windows software, Flex 11, is incredibly capable, offering live annotation over the live image; as well as the ability to take photos and video footage easily. Slow motion and time-lapse videos are great additional features, as is the ability to adjust the image for brightness, exposure and focussing.

Software is also available for both Chromebooks and MAC, and is being developed all of the time to add features.

Web Cam

The HoverCam Solo SPARK works seamlessly with live camera software such as Skype – where it’s built in microphone, and simple to position camera head make it easy to present either yourself, or a document you’re working on, during the live chat.

Adjustable

With a swiveling head and strengthened multi-jointed stand, you’re free to position VZ-R at different heights, angles, and various orientations for capturing your materials.

Enhanced

With a Sony CMOS image sensor and a powerful Ambarella integrated system-on-a-chip (SoC), VZ-R offers enhanced performance in focusing speed, reproduction of colors, and noise reduction even under low-light environments. This enables you to teach or present with lesser disruptions and distortions.

Stand

you’ll find GVX-5H－a type of glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic－inside VZ-R’s stand. GVX-5H is as strong as most metals, yet weighing far less than them. With it, you’ll enjoy increased durability as VZ-R is less likely to break from heavy daily usage. And talking about lightweight, at only 2.2 lbs, you’ll appreciate VZ-R’s portability.

Compact Design

Space is at a premium at your workplace? No worries, VZ-R’s small footprint allows you to use it in tight spaces. You can even fold the unit together and transport it between classrooms, home or office.

Built-in LED Light

VZ-R features a built-in LED light that gives you additional illumination for capturing material in dimly lit environments. It is ideal for use in classrooms or conference rooms that don’t have adequate lighting.
