You know what I mean. So it's more of a camera than a scanner?

My old uni library has 2 of those too. It's basically a fixed camera, but the table you set the book on, has a sort of negative nook that lets you level out the book. So no matter on which page you are, the pages on the book will be on the same level.

Well it still has this Bright light like advancing. But the sensor is like 1m above the table. Honestly I don't know if this makes it more a camera or a scanner
