VB-VIS-002

What the VB-VIS-002 does in a lesson

The ViewSonic VB-VIS-002 is a desktop document camera. It captures printed pages, textbooks, worksheets and small three-dimensional objects, then sends the live image to a projector, interactive display or video call. The 400 x 300 mm working surface accommodates materials up to A3, so a teacher can show a full map or a double-page spread without moving it under the lens.

Imaging and focus features that matter

The 8-megapixel camera uses a 1/3.2-inch CMOS sensor (Sony IMX179) with a 77° ±3° diagonal field of view. Autofocus works from 10 cm to 2 m, so a small specimen and a wide spread can both stay sharp. Resolutions run from 1024 x 768 up to 3264 x 2448, with the listed modes at 30 fps, and 8x digital zoom enlarges fine print or diagrams on screen. White balance can be set automatically or manually, which helps when colours shift under classroom lighting.

An integrated LED light is built in for both dim and bright rooms. Each unit also includes an anti-glare sheet, which helps when glossy paper reflects light back into the lens.

Connectivity and software

The camera connects over USB 2.0 to a laptop or a large touchscreen. It supports Windows 7, 8.1, 10 and later, macOS 10.10 and later, and Google Chromebooks running version 38.0 or above. The recommended computer is a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or faster with 2 GB of RAM. A built-in microphone records audio alongside video, and the vDocCam software listed for this model provides real-time annotation that turns a demonstration into a shared activity.

Where it fits in Qatar

• Schools: a private school in Al Wakrah fitting out science and Arabic-language classrooms, where teachers show textbook pages and specimens without printing copies.
• Training centres: a centre in Education City running blended courses, streaming hands-on demonstrations to learners in other cities.
• Universities: a department in Lusail or West Bay reviewing student work on A3 sheets during a lecture.

What to plan before you order

At 0.4 kg and 255 x 85 x 70 mm, the camera is light enough to move between classrooms, which suits a shared resource. Plan a USB 2.0 cable route to the laptop or display and confirm a free port. The product data does not give an operating temperature range, so confirm the installation environment with the SmartRooms Qatar team before placing it in a non-air-conditioned space, where summer temperatures can exceed 45°C. The camera carries FCC Class A, CE and LVD compliance markings. For multi-unit orders, a single LPO can cover several classrooms.

SmartRooms Qatar supplies the VB-VIS-002 with delivery to all eight municipalities of Qatar and can process government tenders, including Monaqasat.
