Ipevo V4K Ultra High Definition Usb Visualiser / Document Camera

I was pleasantly surprised when this arrived, it is better than I expected. Although made of some kind of plastic, it is not plasticky, but neat, smart and well finished. The movements work well, and it folds up very compact for transport or storage. The picture/video quality is very good, and the Visualiser software that goes with it (a free download) is good-looking, modern and professional. I see that a few reviewers have noted problems with either installation, or with flickering pictures. I had no such trouble, I plugged it into my Mac, it worked immediately and gave smooth stable pictures. I am particularly interested in being able to see close-up detail; The first picture of an A5 document is entirely legible, and would still be if the print were a good deal smaller. The second picture of a bunch of keys is about as close as it will focus, which is to say about 85mm from the subject, and covering a field of view 100mm wide. The third picture (of a battery) is a screenshot of the visualiser showing the magnifier in action - there are other viewing aids too. It will also focus on things further away of course, as far as infinity. It works with Zoom and Webex Meetings. And if you want a camera that faces you straight on for online meetings, rather than showing the top of your head, sit this in front of the screen and get a better angle - it is small enough that you can still see other people past it! Overall, I'm very happy with this and can recommend it.

Love how adjustable this is. Stays in place pmce selected 4k looks great. USB-A quite handy if you have a hub to redice use of precious USB-C ports.

I also have AMD and this apparatus replaces a rather unwieldy optoma/VGA setup. It is an impressive piece of kit, well designed and functional. BUT with my win7x64 PC the software is a bit flakey - it is very nearly excellent except for it refusing to go away when asked - leading to an unwelcome restart of the PC. The software is still better in action than any of the rivals I have - shame about the bug. PS 23/08/18 The above comments were for win7x64 - just tried it on win10x64 with disasterous results - the Visualiser software would not show anything and crashed frequently seizing the PC - totally useless - sent it back

Tried a couple of USB cameras. This one is great! Good picture quality, even in less than ideal lighting levels. Camera filters are a bit of a gimic, but the other features are all well thought out and easy to use. Setting it up is a doddle. I bought this for teaching electronics, so resolution of circuit boards needs to be good. The only issue I found is the either the arm need to be longer, or the zoom needs to go futher out so more can be captured. Solved by adding two extra 15cm sections to the articulated arm (wood, nuts and bolts). It now caputres A3 area. Before it was a little over A4 area. Zoom feature is great. As is image rotation and overlaying grids. Tested on a couple of web meeting platforms (Webex and Google) and the feedback from viewers was favourable.

I'm a teacher and so use this in the classroom. It is so much better than any other visualiser that I've tried out for the price. While a little more than the range I was looking at, the fact it doesn't lag, is much more secure on my desk, folds away neatly and has many more functions available with the software, all make it worth the slight extra I paid. It's useful for modelling work obviously, but the software enables me to capture work done for absent students that can actually be read easily, unlike some other visualisers I tried out. It's also not dark like some can be. Definitely recommended.

A bit flaky in operation on occasions. When it comes to screen capture, especially when recording videos - it isn't always recognised. Also, focus seems to drift in and out and can't be locked at a fixed distance.

It works exactly as it's supposed to, just plug it in, download the software (URL on a sticker on the base) and off you go. By default, its resolution is set quite low, and an ordinary sized book won't fit in the frame. Just click on the resolution icon and set ti to maximum, and everything is fine. If you want to scan A3 sized documents, you'll need to stand the camera on a couple of books to boost its height. But hey, equivalent devices with long enough arms to scan A3 cost three times as much. The native software is brilliantly easy to use for scanning books. If you want to scan books, this is just the trick. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

I am not a techie - but I didn't need to be with this. I literally plugged it in and was ready to go. the picture is crystal clear and video quality is also great. I use this all the time now for Zoom and I love it. Not cheap, but worth the extra money

Soy profesora de nivel básico, en secundaria. El aparato me ha sido sumamente útil para llevar a cabo con eficiencia mi labor docente en la modalidad de clases en línea. Estoy muy satisfecha con el producto.

Werkt direct en eenvoudig te bedienen. Voor grote boeken is een 'opstapje' nodig. Handige software.

Desde el Covid19 he tenido que trabajar online, y para dar clase a mis alumnos es fantástico, ya que pueden ir viendo en cada momento lo que escribo/dibujo etc con una calidad extraordinaria propia del 4K. La instalación tanto en mac como en un Lenovo (son los que yo uso) ha resultado muy fácil, y tiene muchas capacidades añadidas: puedes invertir de negro sobre blanco a blanco sobre negro, -y otras mezclas de color-, graduar la luz, incluso puedes grabar a la velocidad normal o cámara lenta... es genial, y es muy fácil de transportar... para cuando sea necesario. Si mi información te es útil, indícalo pro favor :)

Very good product

Ich gehörte damals zu den wenigen Glücklichen, die während des bereits angelaufenen Lockdowns und der damit verbundenen Homescooling-Phase in weiser Voraussicht rechtzeitig eine eigene Dokumentenkamera angeschafft hatten. Nach intensiver Recherche fiel meine Wahl schließlich auf die "Ziggy" von Ipevo. Technisch gutes Mittelfeld, kompakt, überschaubares Handling, vernünftiger Preis. Was soll ich sagen? Die "Ziggy" wurde zu meiner besten Freundin und treuesten Helferin. Sie lief auf Anhieb und trug Bild und Ton tagtäglich und über Stunden hinweg anstandslos in die Welt hinaus. Weder fertige Dokumente noch Live-Mitschriften bereiteten der so zierlich wirkenden Kamera Probleme. Fast drei Jahre später ist sie natürlich deutlich seltener im Einsatz, ihre teuren großen Schwestern in den Schulhäusern tun sich aber dennoch schwer gegen die Kleine. Klar, daran murksen jeden Tag zahlreiche Hände herum und das vergleichsweise filigrane Gestänge dieser Kamera hätte vermutlich keine Chance; leistungsmäßig braucht sie sich aber trotzdem nicht vor den teuren Marken verstecken. Für etwas mehr als 100 Euro bekommt man ein Gerät, das genau das tut, was in der Beschreibung steht. Und das ist doch mal echt eine Leistung! Klare Kaufempfehlung für alle, deren Dokumentenkamera einem eher kleinen Benutzerkreis mit etwas Feingefühl in den Händen ausgesetzt ist!
