The OKIOLABS does not have a power button. It automatically turns on when you open software that requires access to the camera. When the software is terminated, the OKIOCAM will automatically turn off.
The OKIOCAM S2 and S2 Pro are equipped with a built-in microphone, while the OKIOCAM W1 and X1 are equipped with two microphones that are capable of recording stereo audio. The OKIOCAM S, T and T Plus require users to record audio using an external microphone as they do not have a built-in one.
The OKIOCAM W1 and X1 are equipped with a powerful built-in LED ring light and a stepless dimmer to adjust the brightness. With these models, you will be able to capture contents even in extreme low light conditions.
The S2 Pro also has a built-in LED light, and there is no built-in light on the OKIOCAM S, S2, T, and T Plus. There are buttons for adjusting the exposure, but we suggest that users use these models in a well-lit environment to ensure the best image quality.
Except for OKIOCAM S2 Pro, there is a button (or two buttons) on the OKIOCAM for users to adjust the exposure. For OKIOCAM S2 Pro, by default, the exposure and white balance is automatically adjusted under both AFS and AFC modes.
Regardless of the model, users can adjust the exposure through our free downloadable software, OKIOCAM Snapshot and Recorder, OKIOCAM Live, and Camera Control.
Except for OKIOCAM S2 and X1, there is a button on all OKIOCAMs for users to zoom in up to 4 levels without any quality loss with the LSZ (Lossless Sensor Zoom) technology.
The zoom button only functions when the resolution setting is lower than a certain level (1920×1080p for OKIOCAM S, T, and T Plus; 2048x1536p for OKIOCAM S2 Pro and W1). The actual zoom percentage depends on the resolution setting you are using. Lower resolution, higher zooming percentage, and vice versa.
Regardless of the model, users can zoom in and out up to 6x (digital zoom) using our free downloadable software, OKIOCAM Snapshot and Recorder.
Yes. All of the OKIOCAM models have the functionality of auto-focus single (AFS). For OKIOCAM S2 Pro, W1, and X1, there is a Mode button for users to switch between the auto-focus single (AFS) and auto-focus continuous (AFC) mode.
When using the AFS mode, you can press the Focus button to trigger auto-focus. The focus will be locked until the Focus button is pressed again. On the other hand, the AFC mode constantly auto-adjust the focus which leaves you hands-free.
Yes, however, OKIOCAM cannot be directly connected to projectors or displays. To use OKIOCAM with a projector/smart board/TV, simply connect both of them to a computer.
OKIOCAM is a document camera and can be used to digitize paper documents by taking photos of them. However, it does not scan and export documents as PDF files like a scanner.
