Vaddio DocCAM 20 HDBT OneLINK HDMI - Ceiling Document Camera System

Product Overview

The Vaddio DocCAM 20 HDBT OneLINK HDMI System (999-9968-200) is a recessed ceiling-mounted document camera for distance learning classrooms, corporate training rooms, and video conference environments. The system pairs the DocCAM 20 HDBT ceiling camera — featuring a 1/2.8" Sony Exmor sensor, 20x optical zoom, and 1080p/60 resolution — with the OneLINK HDMI interface, delivering HDMI video output, camera power, and bidirectional control over a single Cat-5e cable up to 328 feet. This ceiling document camera keeps presentation areas clear while providing high-quality overhead capture of documents, objects, and written materials.

Product Description

The DocCAM 20 HDBT is a recessed in-ceiling document camera built around a 1/2.8" Sony Exmor CMOS sensor delivering 1920 x 1080 at 60p. The 20x optical zoom provides a horizontal field of view from 60° at the wide end to 3.3° at the telephoto end, allowing the camera to frame documents, whiteboards, and objects at a wide range of ceiling heights. Low-light performance rated at 0.4 lux ensures consistent image quality even in rooms with variable or dim lighting. A built-in low-power laser pointer assists presenters in centering the camera without direct visual access to the ceiling unit.

The OneLINK HDMI interface transmits HDMI video at up to 1080p/60 from the ceiling camera to a connected codec, display, or switcher over a single Cat-5e cable. All camera power, HDMI video, and bidirectional control run over this single cable — simplifying ceiling installation by eliminating the need for separate power drops at the camera location. Hardware configuration is done entirely via the web interface; there are no physical switches on the camera. The included IR remote provides presenter-friendly local operation for camera control and preset recall during training or presentation sessions. RS-232 and Ethernet/Telnet control make the system compatible with Crestron, AMX, Extron, Q-SYS, and other commercial room control systems. For installations requiring the OneLINK Bridge Express interface with additional output options, the DocCAM 20 HDBT OneLINK Bridge Express System is also available at Creation Networks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What cable is required for installation?
A single Cat-5e cable carries HDMI video, camera power, and bidirectional control to the ceiling camera from the OneLINK HDMI interface. Cable runs up to 328 feet are supported.

Can this system be controlled with Crestron or AMX?
Yes. Ethernet (Telnet) and RS-232 bidirectional control make this compatible with Crestron, AMX, Extron, Q-SYS, and other commercial room control platforms.

Is physical access to the ceiling required after installation?
No. Hardware configuration and all settings are managed via the web interface remotely. Physical access is not required after initial mechanical installation.

What is the difference between this system and the OneLINK Bridge Express version?
This product uses the OneLINK HDMI interface, providing HDMI output only. The DocCAM 20 HDBT OneLINK Bridge Express System provides additional output options via the Bridge Express interface. The HDMI version is the right choice when HDMI output to a codec or display is the primary integration requirement.

What room types is this suited for?
Corporate training rooms, conference rooms, distance learning classrooms, and any space where a ceiling-mounted overhead camera is preferable to a tabletop document camera setup.

What warranty is included?
Vaddio products typically carry a 3-year limited warranty. Contact Creation Networks for details and support options.
