How to Use the Camera App with the Document Cameras on Cedarville University’s Campus

 

Most Document Cameras on campus are connected to the desktop computer in the tech cart or lectern in the room.  This allows images from Document Cameras to be shared over Teams or other computer programs.

Button Panels or Touch Panels that have “Document Camera” as on option to choose should be disregarded unless a HDMI cable can be seen connected to the Document Camera.

HoverCam Ultra 8 Document Camera

To use the Hovercam:

  1. Turn On the Hovercam by pressing the Power button that is located by the touch screen.
  2. Use the “Search” function on the computer task bar and search for the Camera app. 
  3. Launching the app will connect the two devices.  The Document Camera view should appear in the app’s window.
  4. If an Owl is also in the classroom the Camera app will also see it and may prioritize it as the main device.  To change to the HoverCam click on the icon above the capture button on the right-hand side of the software screen.

If HoverCam Flex11 software is installed on the computer, it may be used instead of the Camera app.  HoverCam Flex11 software has annotation capabilities and will be installed upon request.

Troubleshooting the HoverCam

  1. The HoverCam signal output can be changed using the touch screen.  Press the button that looks like a monitor.  This will reveal the output options.  USB should be chosen as the output.  If it is not the check marked output, press the USB choice to redirect the output.
  2. If the Camera app does not connect to the camera the USB cable that connects the HoverCam to the computer may be disconnected.  Follow the cable from the Document Camera to the computer.  If it is unplugged, plug it back into an open USB port on the computer.
