Vaddio DocCAM 20 HDBT OneLINK Bridge Express - Ceiling Document Camera System

Product Overview

The Vaddio DocCAM 20 HDBT OneLINK Bridge Express System (999-9968-370) is a ceiling-mounted document camera system for distance learning classrooms, corporate training rooms, and video conference environments. It combines the DocCAM 20 HDBT recessed ceiling camera with the OneLINK Bridge Express interface, delivering 1080p/60 HD video from a 20x optical zoom, 1/2.8" Exmor CMOS sensor. Power, control, and video all travel over a single Cat-5e cable up to 328 feet — simplifying ceiling installation while keeping the conference table and presentation area unobstructed.

Product Description

The DocCAM 20 HDBT is a recessed in-ceiling document camera with a 20x optical zoom, providing a horizontal field of view from 60° at the wide end to 3.3° at the telephoto end. The 1/2.8" Sony Exmor CMOS sensor delivers 1920 x 1080 at 60p with low-light performance down to 0.4 lux, making it reliable in variable classroom or conference room lighting conditions. A built-in low-power laser pointer assists presenters in centering the camera on a document or display surface.

The OneLINK Bridge Express interface uses HDBaseT to carry power, video, and bidirectional control over a single Cat-5e cable to the ceiling camera — eliminating the need for separate power drops or control wiring at the camera location. The system supports Ethernet, Telnet, and RS-232 control for integration with room control systems including Crestron, AMX, Extron, and Q-SYS. The web interface allows remote administration and camera configuration without on-site access to the ceiling unit. For environments requiring an HDMI interface instead of the OneLINK Bridge Express, the DocCAM 20 HDBT OneLINK HDMI System is also available at Creation Networks.
