You can even use your existing webcam to deliver Picture in Picture sessions, where your students can see you and the work area at the same time. Ideal for younger learners. The Hovercam can also act as a traditional HD webcam, as the camera can be adjusted and the head angled however required.

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 Full HD 1080P, and take still images in true 8-megapixel resolution.

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. Slow motion and time-lapse videos are great additional features, as is the ability to adjust the image for brightness, exposure and focussing.
