OKIOCAM S2 Pro 13-MP USB Document Camera, Built-in Light & Mic, OKIOPoint Smart Pointer, for PC | Mac | Chromebook, Ultra HD Camera for Live Demo for Web Conference, Remote Teaching

The media could not be loaded. I purchased this to record my artworks and I must say this is a fantastic camera for that! I can record intros with the camera facing me, and record the sketching process with the okiolabs camera pointing at my hands and work. I’d say this is a very versatile tool for people like me who regularly use the camera to show work from the top down angle, like artists, teachers, students designers, etc.Recording in 4K: I had the same issue where I couldn’t find how to record in 4K on the Okiolabs software, but I contacted their support team and they told me that they recently updated a new version of their software which allows 4K recording.Recording area definitely covers A4/letter size: You just need to extend the camera.Video quality: I tested it out by recording 1080p and 4K videos on my desk, which has decent lighting, and the video quality looks superb. They’re definitely much better than the quality you get from built-in laptop cameras or cheaper webcams. Though under low light, I could see some video noise, which is to be expected of any webcam. I’d recommend using the camera in good lighting for the best 4K results.Depth of field: I saw a few people mentioning this in the reviews and I think it’s quite impossible that objects on the desk are so far from each other that the camera wouldn’t be able to focus sharply due to depth of field. What I think is likely the cause of the image being out of focus is if you moved the camera when pressing the focus button, or if you accidentally moved the object you’re trying to focus on while focusing. It happened to me once and I just pressed the focus button one more time and the image became sharp. Nothing a few extra clicks can’t fix if it happens to you.Software: You can download the software on their website, which is free, and there are many apps that serve different purposes to choose from. But the camera also works with other commonly used software like Zoom, Teams, and OBS.Conclusion: I’ve been using this camera to record videos and occasionally for online meetings, and I have been very happy with the video quality and solid build of the product. It feels heavy in your hands and overall feels like a high quality product, so I think it’s worth the price for professionals who will be using it regularly!Summary of pros and cons:Pros• Great design and video quality• Compact and versatile, even comes with a pouch and USB-C adaptor• Comes with many appsCons• Requires good lighting for the best video quality• Led light only offers some supplemental lighting• Have other webcam options if you don’t need to show documents or work

This is a really cool little camera. It takes clear video and pictures. The book / paper function is great. Easy to use software. Great price.

I addition to some other face-to-face applications, I use cameras in conjunction with mentoring others in Amateur Radio.I have several cameras for various applications, including a Sony, Canon, and GoPro, I can use with the computer. I wanted a camera to show material from a book, my hand drawn illustrations, and demonstarions of varous objects. I purchased this product mainly for desktop use. I use Windows operating systems.It was initially a little finicky getting the driver working. It has some nice features:1. The articulating arm helps get the camera in a good position.2. The head is hinged to help get the image straight.3. It has an itegrated LED light.4. It has several levels of magnification so the image can be enlarged without moving the head.5. There is a focus button that can be used as needed.6. The image will rotate as you move the camera to keep the view upright.It could be better...1. The base is not heavy enough to support the camera when fully extended. I use a weight on the base to keep it from tilting and also to keep it steadier..2. Sometimes, it takes a bit of tweaking to get the image orientation correct. There is a button on the side to flip the image but you also have to get the camera in the correct orientation for the image to appear upright.3. The LED light is either on or off. Most of the time, I don't use the light because it is too bright. I may need some light but the LED will wash it out. The camera has some light balance capability so it tries to get it right and most of the time, it is OK without the LED. A dimmer on the LED, maybe a wheel on the side of the head, or a multiple level LED brightness , low, medium, high, would help.4. This could be more useful if the head could be removed and connected to a clip or even a magnet, or head band. The would make the camera much more useful.5. The buttons are on the camera head. It is impossible to use the buttons without moving the camera head. Using the magnification feature, for example, always results in a need to reposition the head. The same goes for the led, focus, and orientation buttons.It is getting the job done.

This product is terrific. It’s the third doc camera that I have had for my online tutoring business. It is absolutely perfect. It’s easy to use, portable and perfect for online demonstrations. It’s definitely worth the cost.

Easy to use.

My son uses this with his tutor so he can monitor and interact with him like he is sitting next to him. This camera is an amazing value for what it is. Great product.

Very easy to use, and the picture quality is immaculate. Has saved me a lot of time from scanning and uploading documents onto Google slides

This item is portable, and it does the trick.

Da ich öfter Workshops gebe, wo ich mit den Fingern und Werkzeugen oft Minibewegungen ausführe, die dann nicht von allen Teilnehmern gleich gut gesehen werden können, hab ich mich nach einer Dokumentenkamera umgeschaut, die über PC und Beamer alle an den Arbeitsschritten teilhaben lässt. Und das klappt für den Preis erstaunlich gut, da hatte ich mir eine schlechtere Bildqualität vorgestellt.Gut, ich hab sie jetzt noch nicht mit einem großen Beamer ausprobiert (Ergänzung - die Qualität hängt vom Beamer ab, aber wenn der gut ist, ist auch das Bild super) , aber ich hab Fotos und Videos gemacht, die absolut tauglich sind. Wenn man sich schnell bewegt, wird das Bild etwas schwummrig, aber bei langsamen exakten Bewegungen ist das Bild klar und deutlich. Für Videos muss man mit den Händen nicht exakt auf einer Ebene bleiben, aber etwa 10 - 15 cm hat man Spielraum. Die entstandenen Fotos hab ich vergrößert und bin voll zufrieden. Um sie später in ein Skript einbauen zu können, taugen sie allemal. Eine Plakatwand lässt sich damit bestimmt nicht füllen, aber das brauch ich nicht.Witzig ist das in der Anleitung (Ergänzung: Ich hatte die Karte mit der Erklärung gut unter der Verpackung versteckt) nicht erwähnte Holzstöcken mit rechteckigem Gummiblock (Ergänzung: Bleistift und anscheinend ein Radiergummi), um den ein Karton geklebt wurde, der auf zwei Seiten QR- Codes enthält. Ich hatte keine Ahnung, für was das ist und habe das Teil gottseidank unter der laufenden Kamera untersucht. Beim Erkennen des QR Codes wird der Zoom aktiviert - größter und kleinster Bildausschnitt.Ein schönes Etui ist auch dabei, der Standfuß hat zwar sein Gewicht, aber durch den Klappmechanismus ist sie super gut transportierbar.Was die Kleine nicht kann:Der Bildausschnitt ist natürlich mager, DIN A4 wird grad so mal gezeigt, wenn der Kopf in höchster Position ist, aber mir reicht das.Wenn man Videos aufnehmen will, muss man das Mikro extra zuschalten, aber das kann natürlich auch sein, dass ich die entsprechende Einstellung noch nicht gefunden habe.Ergänzung: Der Kopf lässt sich leider nicht seitlich drehen, das finde ich schade.Insgesamt - für den Preis - super!

Product is exactly as described, base is stable and weighty, movement action of arm is smooth & fully controllable , can stopped in any position and will hold there, camera focus & Zoom features versatile. Accompanying light source could be stronger. Very happy overall.

オンライン授業のために購入しました。パソコンにマイクとカメラ機能がなかったのですが、この商品についているのでZOOMも使えるようになりました。ライトがあったほうがいいという他のレビューを見てこちらに決めましたが、ライトがなくてもよく写ります。

Ich kenne solche Dokumentenkameras aus der Uni und fand, dass diese auch im späteren Arbeitsleben superpraktisch sind. Daher habe ich mich für dieses Produkt hier entschieden.Hier wird eine Dokumentenkamera mit 12MP geliefert. Diese macht einen soliden und hochwertigen Eindruck. An meinem Laptop mit Windows 10 ist die Kamera sofort erkannt worden und man konnte sie danach automatisch überall nutzen, wo sie nutzbar ist (z.B. Drucker, Webcam). Mithilfe eines normalen USB-Kabels wird die Kamera betrieben. Sie nimmt einen Bereich von ca. Din A4 (etwas größer) auf. Die Aufnahmen sind sehr gut und scharf. Praktisch finde ich auch das zusätzliche Licht, wodurch auch bei schlechten Lichtverhältnissen ein gutes Bild aufgenommen wird. Das Licht kann an der Oberseite mit einem Knopf an und ausgeschaltet werden. Neben diesem Knopf befindet sich auch der Button für den Fokus und den Zoom. Zusätzlich gibt einen Scan Modus für Dokumente und Kameramodus für einen selbst. Ich habe diese Kamera nun mehrere Wochen genutzt und bin mehr als zufrieden.Großartiges Gerät, super Qualität und einfache Handhabung. Top!

The media could not be loaded. Ok, well this is a bit of a specialised item. If you only want a webcam then this would be a rather overpriced and unnecessary choice. However, for regular group meetings, zoom events, lectures, displays, presentations, demonstrations and education purposes then I can see that this camera and adjustable stand from Okiolabs would certainly be a useful piece of kit.It is very well designed and built, made from premium materials, it feels sturdy and durable. The stand and base have a nice weight and the multi-position adjustable arm and camera stay exactly where they are positioned. Various buttons on the camera control the LED light, the focus and the orientation etc., and some of these functions can also be remotely controlled from the software.Note that this camera can only be used with Okiolabs software on a Windows PC, Mac or Chromebook. It can not be used by directly plugging it into a projector, TV, mobile phone, android or ios tablet etc.The free Okiolabs software is easily and quickly downloaded from their website. The three main software apps allow the operation of the camera for; 1) - capturing or creating still pictures (snapshots) and video, 2) - creating stop-motion animated videos, and 3) - creating time-lapse videos. The software is easy to use and is actually quite fun to play around with. These tools are obviously very useful for teachers and presenters.Negatives:1. It seems that videos can only be saved as .webm format files which cannot be readily imported to most current video editors without first converting them to a more common format.2. Despite being capable of 4K, I have not so far been overly impressed with the video quality, though this may well be down to my poor setup, lighting, focusing and my general lack of experience with the device.3. The USB cable could be longer (I had to use a USB extension).4. Price.
