Distance learning made easy!

Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2020

I bought this document camera to help aid in distance-learning this year. I am super impressed with the ease of it. It is easy to set it up it’s just basically plug and go. Literally all you have to do is open up your zoom platform click share screen after you’ve already plugged the document camera into a USB port Then share screen and there you go or you can download the OkioCam software that is a Google extension that is super easy to navigate and while you are on a zoom meeting you share screen click desktop and then open up Google and then click the button on the camera to open up the software and then it’s already ready to go. This is by far the best document camera I have ever used and would highly recommend to teachers that are virtual teaching. You won’t be disappointed and the price is fair and a great value!

Not what I was expecting.

Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2020

I had intended to use this product as an at home substitute for my classroom document camera. The one nice thing I can say about the product is it’s portability. It is lightweight and folds up to the size of an average paper back book.
This product is not a simple plug and play as I had hoped/expected. While the device has many capabilities, a separate app must be installed from Chrome to use each one. Also, I was disappointed with the image produced by the camera.
There is a help/FAQ page but, it appears none of the questions (similar to ones I had) were answered.
All in all, not worth it for me. I returned it.

Small footprint, big action!

This little gem is perfect for teaching from home. It plugs into your computer via USB cable, easy! You need the free google chrome app. I share my screen via zoom or meet to show my students what I need to. Perfect, but there is so much more it does, you can record right from the device and assign it to google classroom and download to drive. You can do stop animation, take screen shots and place it right into slides, doc, etc, you can use it as a web cam and microphone. You name it. This is a gem of a device and frankly I don’t know how I taught from home without it! It folds down to almost nothing which makes it easy to throw in your bag when you are required to teach from your school site. You won’t regret this purchase, I know I did not! The only con I can think of is that it does not have a light, so you may need to be close to a desk lamp if your room does not have adequate light. But that would not stop me from buying this!

Easy to use for professional results

I purchased the Okiocam for making instructional videos, and it works great! It was easy to unfold and plug in, and Windows found and installed the drivers automatically. The arm that holds the camera is very flexible for viewing a document or the presenter. It makes it easy for me to overlay video of a presenter or document to a screen capture of instructional slides. I saw another review that complained about the cam image being upside down, but all you do is rotate the cam on its arm, and the image will be right side up! Okiocam cost less than other webcams I considered, and the stand offers more possibilities for creating. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Very easy to use. Simple set up.

Style: OKIOCAM TVerified PurchaseEarly Reviewer Rewards(What's this?)

I use the camera to demonstrate art making projects for art students. I needed a camera that could cover 11x17 inches and could show detailed work close up. This little camera does the trick. It has a magnetic bottom display board that folds easily. It is really easy to set up and use with the computer for google or zoom meets. The only issue is that an overhead light casts a shadow and this camera doesn’t have a light on it (which often cause a glare on white paper). I use a side light on the table. Adjustable arm could be more flexible for side-to-side movement but with practice in adjusts where needed. Nice little camera for the money and saved many art lessons for Distance Learning/Teaching.

versatile and portable webcam

Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2020

Style: OKIOCAM TVerified Purchase

This unit is made of hard plastic, very sturdy and light. It is much more portable than other webcams of a bulky design. Its arm has four folded sections and can adjust height continuously. The whole thing fits into a bookbag nicely when folded. The foldable pad is nice to write on. My kid likes its smooth design. She can share drawings with friends using this cam. And I would be able to check her homework while I was away. Image quality is good and the price is good too. It has a few apps available for download on their website.

Decent camera, great price.

I need a camera for recording my art project. Okiocam T with an additional arm can capture the larger area. That’s very helpful. The image quality is good. I read the paper user guide and the instruction pics on the box, I use MacBook, it’s easy to set up, works with Zoom and Google Meet without any problems.

A perfect fit for distance learning!

Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2020

The quality of the video is very clear and it was easy to plug it in and to figure out how to use it. I love the fact that you can fold it up into a small box for storage between uses so it doesn't create clutter. I also love how flexible the arm is on it allowing me to use it has camera to project my IPad screen with manipulatives to make distance learning more interactive.

Amazing: camera view can be operated completely with just the mouse (needs scroll wheel)

Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2021

The software of this device is the best for teaching/presenting live/online. Now I'm not sure if this is rare for document cameras because I've only used one other one before. And for that one, the only way to zoom was to manually left-click hold on a little zoom meter.

But on this device/software, I can simply get both pages of an open textbook in view, and never touch the textbook or camera again. I can zoom in SO EASY with mouse wheel on the left page of the textbook, and then when I want to go to the right page, I just hold left-click on the view and drag it to the right page. The resolution is good enough that I can zoom in into a page itself even.

I can't express how much quicker and fluid I am with the camera view on this device and software when using it to present/teach online.

--- caveats ---
Bug:
There's a weird bug where, while above 1.5x zoom, if you drag to the edge of the screen fast enough, you can't drag away from the screen. Fortunately it's easy to fix by just wheel-scrolling back to 1.5x zoom. Fortunately 1.5x seems the most you'd want to zoom in anyways. And if you do want to zoom in more, as long as you don't ram the screen edges, the bug is not an issue at all. Hopefully they'll fix this soon.

Another caveat: can't manipulate the screen when using Okiocam software's recording button. You'll have to just record/capture your screen manually while not using the Okiocam's record function if you want video of you zooming/dragging the camera view.

Final caveat (maybe biggest?): MUST USE GOOGLE CHROME. A nice thing about this is I downloaded Google Chrome Canary and it still worked with the Okiocam software.
