The HoverCam Solo 8 Plus possibly the World’s best Visualiser. It is a stunning Ultra HD A3 document camera.

Connectivity The HoverCam Solo 8 Plus connects to your computer through USB 3.0(USB 3.0 cable is included) and it runs through HoverCam’s Flex software.

It can even be positioned to look down a microscope (Adaptors available to purchase separately). It connects to your computer via USB 3.0, 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 Ultra HD or Full HD 1080P, and take still images in detailed, true 13-megapixel resolution. Zoom in up to 480 times using the patented ASR Zoom technology, so zoomed-in images are sharper and more detailed than ever before. 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. Whiteboard Compatibility The HoverCam will integrate into all Interactive Whiteboard software applications (e.g. Smart notebook), with the camera being recognised by the software as an input. 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.
