SMART Document Camera 650

A 4K visualizer for live lessons and documents

The SMART Document Camera 650, order number SDC-650, is built around a 13MP 1/3.2-inch CMOS sensor. Placed on a desk, it shows printed pages, lab specimens, artwork and handwritten work to the whole room in 4K Ultra HD at up to 60 frames per second. The camera head rotates from 0° to 90°, and the software can turn the picture through 180°, so a page faces the right way for students seated on any side of a table.

The optics combine a 10x optical zoom with 23x digital zoom for a total of 230x. The shooting area measures 480 mm by 345 mm at 470 mm, which covers a full A4 sheet. Focus can be automatic or manual, set from the remote control, the control panel or the camera software. Brightness, white balance, contrast and exposure are adjustable, and the image modes include Microscope and Macro. A built-in LED light helps where room lighting is uneven.

Outputs and wireless connection

• HDMI: one output at 4K, 1080p or 720p, at 50 Hz or 60 Hz
• USB: a USB mini-B output with resolutions from 320 × 180 up to 3840 × 2160
• Wi-Fi: 802.11a/b/g/n/ac on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, streaming up to 4K at 30 fps

The camera is UVC compliant and has a built-in microphone, so it can act as a high-quality webcam with a SMART Board display during a video call. Remote students then see the classroom as well as the page. Miracast and peer-to-peer connection are also available, with peer-to-peer working through the SMART Document Camera 650 software for Windows and macOS. Security options cover WEP, WPA/WPA2-PSK and WPA/WPA2-Enterprise with EAP-PEAP or EAP-TLS.

Where it fits in Qatar

Three situations show where this model suits. A primary teacher in Al Wakrah can place it on a desk for a science lesson, zooming in on a plant sample while the class follows on the classroom display. A university lecturer in Education City can use the 4K output and 230x zoom to show small printed diagrams to a large lecture hall, while a group at another campus joins by video. A training centre in the Industrial Area can record a practical demonstration with the built-in recording function and reuse it for staff who join later.

Planning the installation, power and climate

The camera is portable rather than wall-mounted, so planning centres on desk space and power. Set up, it measures 15.9 cm wide, 54.6 cm high and 58.7 cm long, folds to 15.9 cm × 7.6 cm × 36.4 cm, and weighs 2.6 kg. A mounting pattern of M4, 75 × 75 mm is provided if a bracket is needed. The power adapter accepts 100–240 V AC at 50–60 Hz, which covers Qatar's 240 V, 50 Hz supply, and outputs DC 5 V at 3 A. Confirm the plug type in your quotation before ordering several units.

The operating temperature range is 0°C to 35°C, with 30% to 85% non-condensing humidity. Outdoor temperatures in Qatar's summer can exceed 45°C, so keep the camera inside an air-conditioned room, away from direct sun through windows. The internal Li-ion battery takes 3 hours to charge with power off and 7 hours with power on. Each unit carries a five-year equipment warranty and a one-year battery warranty.
