OKIOLABS OKIOCAM S2 Pro 4K USB Visualiser with OKIOPoint AI-Tracking, 13-mp, Webcam and Document Camera for Teaching, with LED Light, for PC/Mac/Chromebook, comes with Type-C Adaptor

I rarely review, but this item is exceptional. The hardware is very well thought out and the software is excellent. The quality of the images is high. A pleasure to use. Fiddling about with traditional webcams when trying to take photographs is now in the past.

The media could not be loaded. Ok, well this is a bit of a specialised item. If you only want a webcam then this would be a rather overpriced and unnecessary choice. However, for regular group meetings, zoom events, lectures, displays, presentations, demonstrations and education purposes then I can see that this camera and adjustable stand from Okiolabs would certainly be a useful piece of kit.It is very well designed and built, made from premium materials, it feels sturdy and durable. The stand and base have a nice weight and the multi-position adjustable arm and camera stay exactly where they are positioned. Various buttons on the camera control the LED light, the focus and the orientation etc., and some of these functions can also be remotely controlled from the software.Note that this camera can only be used with Okiolabs software on a Windows PC, Mac or Chromebook. It can not be used by directly plugging it into a projector, TV, mobile phone, android or ios tablet etc.The free Okiolabs software is easily and quickly downloaded from their website. The three main software apps allow the operation of the camera for; 1) - capturing or creating still pictures (snapshots) and video, 2) - creating stop-motion animated videos, and 3) - creating time-lapse videos. The software is easy to use and is actually quite fun to play around with. These tools are obviously very useful for teachers and presenters.Negatives:1. It seems that videos can only be saved as .webm format files which cannot be readily imported to most current video editors without first converting them to a more common format.2. Despite being capable of 4K, I have not so far been overly impressed with the video quality, though this may well be down to my poor setup, lighting, focusing and my general lack of experience with the device.3. The USB cable could be longer (I had to use a USB extension).4. Price.

Product is exactly as described, base is stable and weighty, movement action of arm is smooth & fully controllable , can stopped in any position and will hold there, camera focus & Zoom features versatile. Accompanying light source could be stronger. Very happy overall.

The media could not be loaded. This visualiser has been an absolute godsend in my classroom. We now have smart TVs which we mirror onto with our Macbook Pros for teaching, and the school got rid of the old (cumbersome and defunct) visualisers a few years ago.This visualiser by OKIOLABS (I am reviewing the OKIOCAM S2 Pro version) is incredibly easy to use. It’s compact and easy to carry from class to class as well. It comes in a simple cardboard box and folds down flat. It also comes with a zip-up soft case and USBc converter (it has a standard USB connector on its cable).You need to go to the website to download the software (Windows or Mac) for your device. This ease easy and once installed (quick) the camera software opens as shown in my short clip. You can zoom in and out with your mouse, the control panel or one of the buttons on top of the camera. It has a light that can also be switched on and off. The image can also be flipped at the touch of the other button (or the control panel on the software. The picture can be tweaked using one of the many menu options too (colour, brightness etc.)The image quality is fabulous. I am using it mainly to show and edit children’s work in so that the whole class can see, and also modelling close detail to them. It’s perfect for this!The camera can also be used for conference video calls and I can see how this would be far better than just using a laptop’s buit-in webcam as it can be positioned wherever you want.The camera is currently selling at a Prime price of £129 which I think reflects its value. It’s an excellent camera and I highly recommend it!

Hi I bought this item to help in showing my training method on screen. I was disappointed with the clarity and sharpness of the final image. Tried multiple methods and precision gauges.I left using it for a while due to quality. Now I think what options do I have after passing the one year by couple of weeks. Can anyone help with suggestions please. Thank you

I received this item through the Amazon Vine programme.This is a glorified webcam, with some additional clever software you can download if you like.Compared to a much cheaper webcam that I own, the picture quality is poor and rather grainy - however, if you are going to use it to view downwards at a piece of paper, for example, it is fit for purpose.The stand is heavy, and the arms are high enough that an A4 piece of paper fits in the view well.I'm not really sure what the ideal purchaser for this product is, I would have thought that a teacher or designer would use a board or projected display in preference, but if you are looking to point a webcam at a piece of paper on a table, this will do that for you.Manufacturing quality appears good. I think it's expensive at £129.00, however I note the many enthusiastic reviews of this product and in the end it's a matter of carefully thinking about your needs before parting with your money. A lot of people seem to like this product: it didn't make much of an impression on me.
