APPENDIX

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What should I do if there is a delay when using the webcam to transmit 4K video?
   4K video occupies a large capacity, and when the network condition is poor, the probability of delay is relatively high. When there is a delay, please switch the video resolution to another low-level resolution to ensure the smoothness of video transmission. After the network condition improves, switch back to 4K resolution.

2. Why the image quality cannot reach 4K when using the webcam?
   

   • Network broadband is congested and cannot support 4K resolution transmission;
   • The video communication application version does not support 4K resolution;
   • The image quality of the video communication application is set to other resolution options.

3. Why is the Spedal Webcam Expert software I downloaded in the App store different from the introduction?
   The software in App store is a concise version, which can only implement part of the functions. If you need to experience the full version of the software on the MacOS system, please visit https://spedal.cc/html/download-sp/Webca- mExpert.html and download the software. You may need to enable apps from any source in the security and privacy settings of MacOS preferences to use the software normally.

4. Why is there water ripples or flickering in the images taken by my webcam?
   This situation is an accidental situation, because the flashing frequency of the webcam does not match the frequency of the power grid (50 / 60 Hz) in the user’s area. This product has been set up the corresponding flashing frequency in advance according to the country of sale. This situation mainly occurs when the user uses the product in other countries or regions, resulting in a discrepancy in the flashing frequency, or the flashing frequency in the user’s area is different from the mainstream frequency in the country . If this kind of problem occurs, please take a photo of the silver label on the webcam and contact us. We will determine the flicker frequency based on the information on the label and send the software to the user to update the machine to solve this problem.
