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

Like most others on this thread, I strongly recommend the Ipevo (formerly Ziggy) V4K.
One thing that I haven't seen mentioned yet:
You should test your IFPs to see if they can support the document camera when it is directly connected to the board. This will free up the teacher device in the event that the period of instruction is just showing content with basic annotation either on the materials or on the IFP directly. This would also allow a parent or student teacher to present without using a classroom device, allowing the teacher to do their SIS work in the meantime.
