 (camera view)

It should be made sure that there are no any reflective objects in the camera 

view such as  aluminium frames giving sharp light's reflections in case of sunshine 

or lamps shining towards the camera. An aluminium frame of the existing board 

should be pasted with black tape.

As a screen, any mat or half-mat whiteboard can be used. In case there is no 

physical board, any MDF or HDF furniture board (available in all D-I-Y stores) can 

be installed for this purpose.

Before the camera is finally installed it should be properly positioned. First of all 

the camera should be connected to the power supply (a computer USB port). The 

control LED light of the camera will be red and after 3 seconds from the 

connection it will blink green confirming proper functionality. The control LED 

light of the camera should be watched during movement of the electronic pen 

with button pressed on the working area: red light – the pen is invisible, yellow-

green colour – the pen is visible. A correctly positioned camera reacts to the pen 

in every corner of a working area (projected picture).

With the pen switched off, the yellow-green colour CANNOT occur at any time. 

The control LED camera diode should emit red light all the time. If it does not 

happen, it means:

bright sunshine,

reflections in the view area of the camera,

light sources which lights into camera’s eye. 

Otherwise, (if for example the camera blinks with the closed lens), the user 

should contact the manufacturer’s service.

Classroom, where interactive board is installed must have blinders or curtains to 

be able to fully shadow the room if case of sunlight. Ordinary fabric material 

roller blinds are not recommended as they diffuse the light instead of eliminate. 

Usually, the one tight blind for the window close to the 

 

 interactive board is 

enough.
