The CZUR Fancy S Pro is a USB document camera and 4K webcam for classrooms where a computer already drives the display. It captures 12 MP (4000 x 3000), records 1080p at 60 fps or 4K at 15 fps, and costs a fraction of what a traditional document camera does.
It is not a spec-for-spec replacement for the ELMO TT-12W. CZUR itself says the ELMO exceeds the Fancy S Pro technically, and I'm not going to tell you otherwise. For a room that already has a teacher computer, though, it's the camera most of those rooms actually need.
Because the expensive ones were designed to stand alone. They carry their own lens, their own lamp and an HDMI output straight to the projector, with no computer involved. That was built for an era before every classroom had a teacher computer driving the display, and the design is still being priced in even though most rooms no longer need it.
The Fancy S Pro assumes the computer is there. That's how it covers several rooms for the price of one traditional unit, with no subscription.
If a room has no computer driving the display, or a teacher genuinely needs to zoom in on something tiny, buy the ELMO. That's the line I give every district that asks, and I'd rather lose that sale than have you find out in September. Here's what you give up with the Fancy S Pro:
It gives a teacher a camera on a jointed arm that connects by USB 2.0 to a Windows 7-11 or macOS 10.13+ computer. The specs that matter in a classroom:
It ships as the camera and a guide only. No power adapter, no pedal, no pad.
No. It doesn't flatten the curve of a bound page and has no finger removal, so it isn't a scanner in that sense. For bound books, look at the CZUR ET Max or the Aura Pro. The Fancy S Pro also works as a webcam, which we cover in our post on the document camera and webcam in one.
Buy it for school site offices and district AV teams replacing dead ELMO units in rooms that already have a teacher computer. Skip it for a room with no computer, or for a teacher who needs real optical zoom. Those rooms should stay on the ELMO. Browse our K12 page or the shop by brand list for the rest of the room.
Is the Fancy S Pro a replacement for the ELMO TT-12W? Not spec for spec. CZUR itself says the ELMO TT-12W exceeds the Fancy S Pro technically. It works as an alternative where a room already has a computer driving the display.
Does the Fancy S Pro work without a computer? No. It connects by USB 2.0 to a Windows 7-11 or macOS 10.13+ computer. If your room has no computer driving the display, buy the ELMO.
What video resolution does the Fancy S Pro record? 1080p at 60 fps, or 4K at 15 fps. The sensor is 12 MP, 4000 x 3000, and it saves images and MP4 video.
Can the Fancy S Pro be used as a webcam? Yes. CZUR sells it as a USB document camera and 4K webcam in one device, so one purchase covers both jobs.
Does the Fancy S Pro come with a power adapter? No. It ships as the camera and a guide only, and it connects by USB 2.0 to your computer.
Tell me how many rooms have a teacher computer and which ones are still running a dead ELMO, and I'll quote the ones where this fits.
