Overview

Most technology classrooms have Wolfvision vSolution Cam document cameras installed. All buttons on the camera itself are disabled — control is via the touch panel only. All vSolution Cam document cameras are connected to the classroom PC's via USB for use with Zoom.

CTS Recommends using a fine tip marker when using the Document camera with Zoom. Ballpoint pen does not capture well.
