IPEVO iZiggi HD Wireless Document Camera -Innovative New Product from IPEVO

Over the past year, I have been enamored with the number of unique products the IPEVO company has released and in the last two weeks they released the iZiggi HD Wireless Document Camera for IOS, Mac & PC which adds considerable value to their product line. The iZiggi HD Wireless Document Camera is the perfect marriage of the iZiggi HD Camera and the IPEVO Wireless Station which I had reviewed in the past
couple of months. Plugging the iZiggi HD Wireless Document Camera into the IPEVO Wireless Station created an ad-hoc WiFi network that would allow your iPad to connect through, which in turn would enable you to output the image under the document camera to your iPad without the need for a physical connection. Having  access to iZiggi HD Wireless Document Camera and the IPEVO Wireless Station opened up all kinds of possibilities in the classroom for having a truly portable device that could be moved about in the classroom. Teachers who have access to a projector and an Apple TV can walk around the classroom displaying student work and have it come up on the screen. Likewise, it is possible to push out what is on the iPad and share it with other devices that are connected to the ad-hoc network utilizing the IPEVO Whiteboard app on the iPad. This will enable students to interact and annotate the contents that is under the iZiggi HD Wireless Document Camera, which is ideal for small group work.

With the introduction of the iZiggi HD Wireless Document Camera, IPEVO has made it even easier to take advantage of the power of this document camera by designing the product so that the base of the document camera replaces the need for the IPEVO Wireless Station. The base of the iZiggi HD Wireless Document Camera contains the WiFi radio and Rechargeable battery and thus eliminates one more piece of hardware that teachers need to be concerned about. To use the iZiggi HD Wireless Document Camera simply plug the USB tail into the base of the camera, power it on and then connect your iPad to the iZiggi WiFi network. Launch the IPEVO Whiteboard app on your iPad and start viewing what is under the lens. The IPEVO Whiteboard app gives you a vast array of tools for annotating what you have captured and has a great interface for focusing and setting the exposure of the camera from the iPad screen. While ease of use should certainly be a big consideration when making a purchase, I for one am really impressed with the quality of the image that the iZiggi HD Wireless Document
Camera produces. The iZiggi HD Wireless Document Camera can produce resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 when in wireless mode. The iZiggi HD Wireless Document Camera can also be used in conjunction with the IPEVO Whiteboard app to capture audio and video on the iPad which is ideal for creating online video content. 

The iZiggi HD Wireless Document Camera comes with a USB cable extension so that it can be plugged into a Mac or PC and used with their Presenter software. The iZiggi HD Wireless Document Camera is a versatile and cost effective tool for the classroom which I know teachers will enjoy using. Having access to the iZiggi HD Wireless Document Camera will allow teachers to be more interactive in their instruction and provide teachers with better visuals that can support instruction and learning. At a cost of $159 dollars this is great value for a 5 megapixel camera. For more information about the iZiggi HD Wireless Document Camera click here.
