<p>Dear Bev,</p>
<p>I dropped the project due to a cost vs. profit analysis. There was simply not enough demand nor profit in pursuing a gooseneck support. As you have demonstrated, you purchased a support for $6.00.</p>
<p>The Logitech works great, it will serve most teachers well. There are a few manufacturers offering below $200.00 systems. They are USB document scanners that can function quite well as a document camera.</p>
<p>Thanks for the info...JJC</p>

I saw a document camera made from a webcam--logitech--this weekend; it was mounted on a flexible lamp which I bought for $6 @ a box store.

Steve,<br />
<br />
The LogiTech Pro9000 works great as a substitute document camera, you only need a method of support.<br />
<br />
It has auto focus and variable resolutions and a great software package. Further, it is great for skype conferences.<br />
<br />
I don't sell them so.......check it out. I bought one online from Staples for $69,00.<br />
<br />
I have developed a couple of stands for them,,,,,soon to be advertised!<br />

Dear Derwin,<br />
<br />
Hold off a bit. RM Education is releasing a new document camera called the EasiView for $127.00 This summer!<br />
<br />
I have tested the only model in the US. The software works fine and the resolution is sharp enough to read documents.<br />
<br />
SORRY TO SOUND LIKE A SALES PITCH......Just a heads up!<br />

I picked up a couple HUE HDs some months back and have had some of my colleagues try them out. We found them to be useful as a replacement for an overhead projector in that you could project your handwriting from paper as well as student illustrations. We also found them useful in science classrooms in projecting hands-on demonstrations.<br />

<br />
The main limitation though was documents. Our Language Arts teachers couldn't project essays as we were hoping. The resolution was not sufficient to project a printed document where a line of text spans the whole page.<br />

Dear Derwin,<br />
<br />
I have been researching USB webcams and their application as document cameras. The HUE HD looks pretty good, the newer models may be netter than the first line introduction. They do not have onboard lighting nor do they have auto focus.<br />
At $79.00 they look enticing, short warranty. The Logitech Pro 9000 may become a front runner in this category. Sharp, Zeiss optics, auto focus and a reliable company....I am going to buy one from Staples at $69.00...HA! They cost me $86 from a…

At $79.00 they look enticing, short warranty. The Logitech Pro 9000 may become a front runner in this category. Sharp, Zeiss optics, auto focus and a reliable company....I am going to buy one from Staples at $69.00...HA! They cost me $86 from a wholesaler. Crazy Business. Ok, the only other thing we need is a platform to hold the webcam over a document or workspace.( I'm working on that now, I'll get it on the web after development)<br />
<br />
There are two other major brand document cameras to look at.<br />
The new LadiBug DC120 from Lumens...autofocus/lighting/5 year warranty/full classroom software package at $320.00 it might be worth the pricing difference.<br />
Then there is KenAVisions VisionViewer 7890UM. Manual focus/ no lighting/3 year warranty/ awesome software package, $335.00.<br />
<br />
There are 20+ brands and models of webcams on the market. I just came back from BestBuy, checking out the physical properties of each product. Then there are hundreds of Asian webcams, make that many, many hundreds. There are models in every imaginable configuration out there.<br />
<br />
Any webcam can be rigged up to look downward, any digital camera or Video Cam will work as well.<br />
I'll write up a review on the Lumens DC120 once I get my demo.<br />

I got lucky and bought six Hues for $10.00 at a Kmart that was closing.<br />
<br />
The hue software works great because there is a flip and rotate setting that helps you optimize the camera. The hue software can be used with other web cams, and I think you download it from the Clique Hue website.

Bought a cheap $20 web cam on a base and it works but it had no software. I tried Skype but it only gives a tiny window on the laptop screen/projector in front of classroom. Other software suggestions?<br />
