sure that the Neigh webcam is selected for both the speaker and microphone.

the camera.
Q5: What can I do if the image shows abnormal color? How to adjust my image
parameter, such as brightness or contrast?
A: Please ensure that the light in your environment is free of unique tones or intense light, such as walls/floors/other large-area non-standard light environments, including areas with green/blue/intense light. In such environments photographed pictures are subjected to color cast due to the lighting impact.

another type of software to start a video call and the changes will carry
over.
Q6: What should I do if my Windows 7 computer says a driver is needed/ the
webcam is not plug & play
A: Unfortunately, as Windows 7 is no longer supported by Microsoft your PC may state that a driver is needed or the device not recognized. Please test the webcam directly in Skype/ Zoom. If it does not pull up in either of these apps it will not work on this system.
Q7: Why does the microphone still not work even though it is being
recognized by my Computer?
Once the webcam has been uninstalled, unplug the USB cord from your computer,
wait one minute, and then plug it back into the USB port. The webcam will
automatically install the new driver when it is reinstalled. Wait one more
minute, and then verify if the microphone is working properly
Q8: How can I use my webcam in chatting software, like Skype or FaceTime?
A: For FaceTime on Mac: If your Mac has a built-in camera already, open the FaceTime, click Video on the top left of your screen, and choose the name of your webcam to use it
For Skype on Mac:
Before running Skype, please make sure that all other applications using the
webcam are closed. Failure to do so may mean that Skype will not recognize the
webcam. It is also highly recommended to update Skype to the latest version as
this can affect the connection as well. Once you have started it select
Preferences from the Skype menu in the top left corner of your screen (like
the photo below)
In the Audio/ Video tab, select the name of your webcam in the Camera drop
down menu.

automatically. If you don’t hear the ringtone use the drop-down menu or click

the microphone test.

until you hear the replay. Click Yes when your microphone is set up.

Q9: Why is my video not in 1080p in my video calling application?
A: Check the video output settings in your video capture software, these may be set to a lower capture format. There are various constraints on the system that could impede the ability to attain a 1080p video calling session. They center around processing power (i.e. CPU speed) and available network bandwidth. In all cases, review the requirements from the video calling application. They will guide as to the system performance required as well as the necessary bandwidth. HD Webcam For manual focus webcams please gently rotate the lens ring until it clear. For autofocus webcams please wave your hand in front of the webcam, it will adjust the focus automatically
Q10: Why is there flickering or banding on the video feed when I use the
webcam?
A: This might be due to lighting inconsistencies in your room. To resolve this, open the video control panel on your video capture software and change the frequency response rate to either 50Hz or 60Hz, depending on your region. The camera defaults to indoor mode. Please do not aim the camera at the light source directly.
Q11: Does my webcam support the Linux Operating System?
A: Linux is supported if your Linux distro has UVC drive-free protocols. Otherwise, you will have to install Linux UVC drivers manually.
A: There are several reasons this could happen;
1. There is something wrong with the USB port. Please change to a different USB port or another PC and test the camera again. 2. The PC does not recognize the camera device. 3. The operating system and computer configuration do not satisfy the requirements of the camera. 4. The video preview feature of the application is not turned on, or the privacy feature prohibits access to the camera.
