Tabletop Document Cameras

Tabletop Document Cameras are digital video cameras mounted into a ceiling with a workspace below them to place media or objects on for projection purposes in a classroom setting. They are similar in function to overhead projectors, but with greatly improved capabilities such as zooming in or out, adjustable light levels (ideal for slides), and an easily controlled focus.

What can it do?

  • Same functions as an overhead projector
  • Zoom function
How a document camera operates
