USING THE IPEVO DOC CAMERA FOR REMOTE LEARNING |
The IPEVO VZ-R HDMI/USB, using the USB mode, can be used to support remote teaching, learning, and meetings. When in USB mode, the IPEVO VZ-R HDMI/USB also activates a built in microphone!
Many educators are submitting their uses of the IPEVO document cameras and sharing them with the rest of us.
IPEVO offers printed step-by-step guides for using the IPEVO VZ-R HDMI/USB in USB mode with some of the most popular online collaboration tools.
IPEVO VZ-R HDMI/USB plugged directly into a projector |
The IPEVO VZ-R HDMI/USB document camera can also easily be used to showcase items, live drawings, and book pages to the entire class, even without a computer! Since this document camera also includes an HDMI connection, it can be plugged directly into a projector for mirroring and streaming on a whiteboard with no need for a computer.

IPEVO VZ-R HDMI/USB plugged directly into a monitor or TV |
Since many classrooms now use a large touchscreen monitor or flat-screen television for projecting to the class, the IPEVO VZ-R HDMI/USB can also be plugged directly into the HDMI port on the monitor or TV and stream live to the big screen! This document camera includes easy-to-access adjustment buttons to use in any mode, too!
