Can the lights stay on in the room and still see the image projected?

Yes, in fact, in some ways having the lights on in the room is helpful since the camera itself does not have a light. If you have the lights out, you may want to put a small desk lamp over the document. We have about 12-15 of these cameras in use at our school and I have heard nothing but good reviews. The teachers love them.

actually, lights need to be on, IPEVO has no lamp, so it's useless in the dark.

As with all projected images it depends on the level of light in the room and the power of the data projector.If you can see the PC image you will see the Ziggi-HD image.

Yes, they can stay on. When I used this a few weeks ago in a classroom, I did lower the lights in the front of the room but wouldn't have needed to. I give math workshops to teachers and this is great! I can position my calculator under it and zoom so they can see the screen. It is easy to write on paper under it to project what you are writing. The focus and clarity are very good. I also bought the case that is built for that and it is a nice compact document camera if you need to travel with it.

We use lights on timers and the Fake TV still works. I think the light would have to be directly in front of the unit or very, very bright before it would be affected. Our lamps are off to the side of the Fake TV. You'd really have to test it out to see. We place the Fake TV units right in front of our TV screen. From outside the house you would swear there was a tv on inside.

You sure can. It's a very clear picture. There's really no glare from lights in the room either. I bought 2 for my 9 year old twin boys for their birthday and they love them. They use them constantly!

I'm not too sure what you mean by let it stay lit. With this setup you would probably be better off using a speed light and they ll will go off as you trigger them.

It will stay on all night. Using the timer is optional. I've had mine for a year and a half and just love it! My little one loves the projector too!

As far as I know, you can't, but the light is very dim and will likely not bother you in a dark room. The light died after a few months in mine and I've kept it that way.

I don't think so. The light stays on for sure. It might have some energy saving mode, but it's not clear.

Right. The lamps produce light that is constant. These lights are not triggered by the camera's flags or an IR device.

It works perfectly as long as the room is dark and it's being projected onto a single wall. Then, the stars can be adjusted into focus and look very crisp and realistic.

Conceptually yes. But won't a projector be exposed and behind you? This is more suited to retransmitting signals into a cabinet with no line-of-site option.

Yes, but you have to connect the light through a switch. If you switch the light off and back on again quickly the light will stay on.

It would be a bit of a challenge, but it can be done. I can project an 8' wide by 6' tall image. The room would need to be quite dark with no outside light contamination. As the distance from the wall increases the image intensity and fine detail decreases.

Yes. Basically whatever you watch on the screen, gets projected. However, the unit is an older design and fairly low resolution. Ok in a very dark room but not very bright either. There are newer units that may improve upon this unit.

It does have a pretty high lumens for a projector. In my installation it is visible with the lights turned on. However, it does look much better with the lights dimmed or some of them turned off in the room. Depending on how bright you lighting is, you might have different results.

basement will probably be dark so almost any projector will do. the nice thing is the short throw of that projector. But it can also be a bad thing. My projector is actually pretty close to the wall (like 10 feet) because it has such a wide angle of projection to get a 10feet wide image. Very often you won't be able to put it at the other end of the room or you'll endup with part of the image on the side walls.

I don't believe so. However the lighting is not too bright and even when activated by motion, it doesn't stay on but a few minutes.

Yes, I believe you should be able to do that. Make sure you do it inside a box or in a closed place so no other light source can interfere.
