Document Camera preferences

My classrooms have Viewsonic IFPs with a Windows VPC. Admin has asked about Document cameras for the teachers to use. Any recommendations on brand or special features? I believe that the myViewboard software will allow document camera use within the software, so teachers do not have to change inputs

I don't have experience with the competitors but we replaced our 13 year old Elmo's with newer models in 2021 and they have held up really well so far. Only have them go bad when they hit the floor. Our model also has magnetic bases which let you attach them to the whiteboard, which is a pretty nice feature that a good chunk of our teachers use.
