Software

• The camera does not require software to operate. You can use it in Zoom, Teams, etc., immediately after connecting it to the computer via the included USB cable.

• There is optional software called IPEVO Visualizer (Windows/macOS/Android/iOS) and IPEVO Whiteboard (Android/iOS).

  • Visualizer and Whiteboard cannot be used from phones/tablets on campus with the camera, as they require the camera to be placed in wireless mode, which interferes with the campus wireless network. Please only use off campus. 

  • Visualizer can be used via the USB cable on laptops.

  • Visualizer for Windows/macOS is obtained through the respective app stores; admin access should not be required to install it. If you run into trouble, please contact us at archit@syr.edu.

    • For the Windows version, install the Microsoft Store version to avoid the need for admin credentials.

Charging the battery

• The battery is integrated into the camera base.
• Use the included USB cable to connect to a USB charger (charger not included--use a phone charger).
