New Classroom Camera Tracks Teachers for Distance Learning
Audiovisual
technology manufacturer Aver
Information USA has launched a new camera for education that uses
AI to “seamlessly track” teachers as they move around the
classroom. The camera was designed with K–12 remote learning
environments in mind.
"K-12
classrooms have unique environments that typical conference-room type
tracking cameras do not address. Since the DL30 was designed
specifically for the classroom, it ensures remote students remain
engaged as if they were still in school," said Andy Teoh,
director of product management, K-12 and Pro AV, in a prepared
statement. "The DL30 offers an immersive classroom experience to
remote students for the long-term, no matter how the climate
changes."
The
Aver
DL30 Artificial Intelligence Auto Tracking Distance Learning Camera
offers:
-
2 AI-driven, hands-free tracking modes: presenter and zone, which do
not rely on a lanyard or sound to follow the presenter;
-
12x optical zoom;
-
A privacy mode, which turns off the camera and tracking;
-
Compatibility with Zoom, Google Meet, Google Hangouts and Microsoft
Teams;
-
Video recording, image capture and live streaming with the free
software included with the camera;
-
Support for connecting document cameras for display to remote
students;
-
Support for centralized management of hundreds of cameras.

Optional
accessories include a ceiling mount, wall mount and remote. Further
