Some of the statements in this video are misleading. You don't need a powerfull computer to play back 4K video,if the Raspberry Pi Zero/Orange Pi Zero can do it then why an Intel or AMD cannot?. The only time you need a powerfull computer is when you are rendering the video,converting to different format,you will need a powerfull machine.
Do not buy this. I tried it and the software that they have was not working. Aside from this, the camera is not 4k. There is a 4k option but once you choose it the camera stops working. I do still have it. They said that the problem is on my computer because it works on their end. Imagine we bought 50 of their Hovercam 8 and I connected them to 50 Macbooks and all of them are doing the same thing. Until now all teachers are having issues. They did not reply to my email. They just ignored it. I thought buying this Orbit would fix the issue but it does the same thing. I do not recommend buying it. I just wasted our company money.
Thank you because I'm finally getting a document camera thank you very much for teaching me all this now I have the information I need to use this thank you❤🎉
Hello, does this automatically crop documents? I would like to scan some black and white documents and I don't want to have to manually crop the background they are on out of each one. I am already old enough and with the stack of old papers I have I will feel like it is taking an eternity. I found a Hovercam Solo 8 Plus for a really good price and I was wondering it it is what I am looking for. I have seen other videos and the picture quality is really good. I also noticed that it works with Windows 10 and quite possibly 11 since that is really just Windows 10 with an awful GUI. I mean really? They want me to click to show more options! Now how backwards is that?? Anyhow it seems to be a very good camera and it even looks nice and compact so you can use it almost anywhere. I was really wondering about the document scanning since I have been using a flatbed scanner mostly. That is simply because they are usually really good but sometimes as slow as molasses at the north pole for high DPI scans.
Anybody know what button on the keyboard to push (apart from F3, which re-initialises the camera - and is not what I would like to do) to exit 'FULL SCREEN' view, without re-initialising the camera?
you can get usb wi-fi dongle for cheap, so that you can have 2 wi-fi for your computer. one can connect to the internet, and the other to the wi-fi cam, at the same time.
These videos are great, but they are outdated. Flex 11 is the thing now, and the HoverCam Solo 8 Plus doesn't have two ports. I followed the directions as specified here, and my computer now has problems. It won't play back the videos. It's giving me codec errors and is producing undreadable, empty video files. I'm working with Hovercam customer support now, over the course of three days. I think they are backed up. Anyone else having this problem of videos not playing back? The only things I'm finding online that refer to similar issues are between 7 and eleven years old.
this document camersa does not work well. The class cant see the document. It is too small. Enlaring it means they can see one problem not the page. my 8 year old $25 camera does..but it doesnt work with the districts new chromebooks. Is there something I'm missing?
And what's with the micro-zooming when the focus changes? That's the biggest focus breathing I've ever seen, it borders on headache inducing -- and it's so common, they couldn't keep it out of the advertisement video. I'm no teacher, but legal videographers can't really afford one of these either.
This media play wasn’t available months ago? I saw videos where you dragged an image and it converted it transparent?? I just got it today to pilot it in school and no transparent feature was available. Jpeg images dragged but i couldnt annotate or turn transparent. Is this because of the new update that is yet not released until next week?
You have to install the Flex Mac software, Were you using Flex10? Flex10 wont work anymore on silicon macbook airs. It does does work on Intel Macs btw.
feature request: do the horizontal image flip in hardware rather than requiring eglass software. I get that eglass software has extra stuff such as external image import but anytime we need to deal with extra software in our production environment it is a real hurdle.
Hey Steven! eGlass flips the image on the firmware side, so you're not forced to use our software to get the corrected image. However, our software packs some pretty useful features like you mentioned. Learn more at www.eglass.io and if you'd like more info or a live demo, fill out the "request info" form. Thanks!
4:45 LOL! You either hope your customers are idiots or don't listen:-) "As long you can live with a half-second delay" Oh, you mean just as your own 500 ms delay? It may look like you try to make people think your camera has a higher speed by talking about milliseconds vs 0.5 seconds. Sorry but, that is somewhat dishonest and makes me look elsewhere. :-)
