Why Photo-ID Programs Choose the Videology 24C708AF
The 24C708AF was purpose-built for ID card and badge issuance workflows. Unlike consumer webcams, every component — from the USB-powered synchronized flash to the manually-tunable focus and 12 mm wide-angle lens — exists to solve the same problem: capturing a sharp, well-exposed face shot in seconds, every time, from a fixed enrollment distance of roughly 4 to 8 feet. The result is fewer reshoots, faster lines, and more consistent ID artwork across thousands of cards.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Videology 24C708AF used for?
The Videology 24C708AF is a USB 2.0 photo-ID camera designed specifically for badge and credential photography. Its synchronized LED flash and 4–8 ft autofocus range make it ideal for capturing consistent, well-lit head-and-shoulders portraits in employee, student, healthcare, government, and visitor ID-badging programs.
How does the synchronized flash on the 24C708AF work?
The camera's USB-powered LED flash fires automatically in sync with the still-image capture command from your photo-ID software. A manual dial on the camera body adjusts flash intensity, so you can dial in consistent exposure for the lighting in your specific enrollment room — and reproduce it across every badge.
What resolution and image quality does the 24C708AF deliver?
The 24C708AF uses a 1/2.7-inch progressive-scan CMOS sensor capable of 5-megapixel still images at 2592 × 1944 and full HD 1080p video at 1920 × 1080. Combined with its f/2.0 aperture and 0.1 lux rating, it produces sharp portraits even in low-light enrollment areas.
Is the Videology 24C708AF compatible with my photo-ID software?
Yes. The 24C708AF is fully UVC (USB Video Class) compliant, so it works as a standard webcam with virtually all Windows, macOS, and Linux photo-ID and badging platforms — including CardExchange, Asure ID, EasyBadge, CardPresso, BadgeMaker, IDpack, and browser-based HR/visitor systems. No custom drivers are required.
Does the 24C708AF need a separate power supply?
No. The camera and its synchronized LED flash are both powered entirely over USB 2.0 — a single cable to your PC handles power and data. There is no AC adapter to manage at the badging station.
What is the difference between the 24C708AF, 24C708AF-1, and 24C708AF-SYS?
The 24C708AF is the core 5MP USB camera with synchronized flash and autofocus. The 24C708AF-1 is a packaging variant of the same camera. The 24C708AF-SYS bundles the camera with a height-adjustable stand for fixed-station enrollment desks. All three share identical optics and image performance.
Does GrooveBadges ship the 24C708AF to Canada?
Yes. GrooveBadges ships across Canada and the United States. Customers in Ontario receive free shipping on orders over $200 CAD. Orders to other Canadian provinces and US states ship daily — contact our team for expedited freight options.
