How to Connect Your SMART Document Camera to Your Computer
This article will help you connect your SMART Document Camera to your laptop and projector.
*Here is a quick-reference flowchart for how everything is connected. Please continue the article below for a more detailed step-by-step guide.
1. Connect one end of your VGA cable to your computer normally. Connect the other end of your VGA cable to the black VGA port on the back of the SMART Document Camera labeled "VGA In", pictured below.
*Special Note - If you have a VGA cable with audio, as shown in the picture below, connect this cable between your laptop and your SMART Document Camera, and connect a VGA cable without an audio between the document camera and the wall jack.
2. Connect a VGA cable from the port on the back of your SMART Document Camera labeled "VGA Out" to the VGA port on your wallplate by your desk.
3. If you used a VGA cable with audio in step one, plug the 3.5mm audio end nearest where you plugged the VGA connector into your laptop's headphone jack. You'll need a 3.5mm audio extension cable to connect the other end to your wallplate.
If you only have VGA cables with integrated audio, or if you do not have an extension cable, you will need a separate 3.5mm audio only cable to connect your laptop's headphone jack directly to the wallplate either cable is 6 feet long, so plan your layout accordingly.

4. Type in the security key, or password for your wireless network. It's usually either set by the person who set up the home network, or printed on a sticker on your wireless router. Click "OK" in Windows 7, or "Next" in Windows 10.
5. After another few seconds of authenticating to your network, you should see the wireless icon has changed to show you are connected.
*Special Note - The district does not support or maintain home wireless profiles, passwords, or hardware.
