Summary | Device Details and Specs

Camera unit

The Kaptivo camera unit fits into the mount from the front.  Place the top of the camera unit against the mount (angled slightly upwards) and tilt the camera unit down into the mount.

Sometimes the Kaptivo camera can get dirty and you would like to clean the lens. Kaptivo can compensate for some dust or dirt on the camera lens, and it’s best not to touch the lens.  If you must clean it use a cloth suitable for glasses, being careful not to scratch it.  Do not pull down on the camera unit.

The size of the camera arm is 20 inches long, 2.5 inches wide, and 5 inches tall. 

Control pad flashing lights

A flashing red/green light indicates your Kaptivo is ready to be set up.

A solid green light indicates your Kaptivo is connected to a network and ready to be used.

A solid red light indicates the unit is not connected to a network.

A flashing blue button indicates that someone is trying to start a new Kaptivo session (the blue light on the Kaptivo camera unit also flashes). To allow them to view your whiteboard, press the flashing button on the control pad. If you do not wish to allow viewing, the session request will time out after 30 seconds and the button will stop flashing.

A solid blue button indicates the board is currently being shared. Subsequent session attendees can ask to join by going to kaptivo.live and entering the Kaptivo ID. Participants already in the session will be notified in their browser that someone wants to join the session. You can end the session at any time by pressing the solid blue button.

The size of the control pad is 4 inches by 4 inches.

Data Cables

If your connector on the data cable from the Kaptivo camera unit won’t plug into the control pad, check that you have the arrow logo facing you as you plug it in inside the control pad, and that you are putting it in straight.

The Data cables are not standard USB cables.  Kaptivo was designed and certified to work only with the cables that come with your Kaptivo. 

Kaptivo ships with a 1.8m (6-ft) data cable that runs from the Control pad to the Camera unit.

An extended Data Cable (Control Pad to Camera Unit) 4.3m. is available and sold separately.

The Kaptivo can be powered by Standard PoE and is a 802.3af Class 2, Type 1 “Low Power” device consuming 7W or less.
