Scanning iCam camera diagram:
–The small monitor can suck on the direction controller. If you worry that it is not
steady enough, you can stick directly on the monitor.
–There are two control buttons on the direction controller of the scanning iCam
camera, and the left and right controller is for SES. If you worry that the students
might drop it on the floor, you can stick it in the table with double-sided tape or
silicone as some of the education institutes do.
–Use flexible wire for network cable, video cable and audio cable to avoid fixed screw
loosening or interfaces dropping after long use.
–Put termination plug at the end of the left and right turn.

5. Adjusting lenses
5.1 Lens of iCam
Please loosen the nuts on the lens before adjusting the lens. But please do not remove it or it
may get lost.
The adjust order is
A. Focus distance (W←→T)
B. Focus (∞←→N)
C. IRIS (O←→C).
5.2 IRIS (O←→C)
–O = Open, C = Close
–IRIS controls the light amount, so the light has big influence to the shooting effect.
–The more the light come in, the better the shooting is.
–We advise you to turn the IRIS to maximum to get enough light.
–If you use digital board or projector, you can adjust the IRIS to maximum then close
down gradually.
–The light should be the same as class time.
–Fasten the nut after adjusting.
–When adjusting the camera lens, try to arrange during the class because the light
(fluorescent light or sunshine) would influence the shooting.
–If the education institute records class in the evening, it is better for you to adjust

lens in the evening.

both sides of the board, but when using scanner module, make the up and down
sides of the shooting scene justify up and down sides of the board.
–Fasten the nut after adjusting.
