FAQ
How do I test to see if my camera is functioning?
Check to see if the webcam is recognized in Windows Device Manager or Mac OS
System report. In Windows 7, 8.1, and 10 the camera application can be
launched to not only make sure the webcam is functional but also to tune the
focus of the webcam if your model is the manual focus (VTWC30). The camera
application can be launched by either searching for the application or
launching it from the All Programs menu.
Why is my camera out of focus?
The VTWC40 is an auto focus camera. Move your hand in front of the camera and
pull it back towards your body for the sensor to find a focal point.
The VTWC30 is a manual focus camera. To adjust the focus, rotate the knob that
houses the camera lens until you achieve the desired focus.
The VTWC20 is a fixed focus camera and will always have a consistent focal
distance which means you may need to adjust the distance between you and the
webcam for best results. Be sure to open the camera application on your system
to help determine when the focus is set in the proper location.
Is there a way to adjust the brightness of the video when under bright
lights?
The webcams come standard with advanced built-in parameter adjustment chips.
When the video is too bright, face the camera at the ceiling or white wall so
that the camera can automatically reduce brightness. Readjust the camera back
to its original position and the video will revert to normal brightness.
Why am I getting horizontal lines in images?
The horizontal lines are caused by light refraction. If you adjust the angle
of the camera, the screen will come back to normal. Some overhead LED lighting
systems may also cause horizontal lines, there is no way to fix this besides
turning off the lights.
Why does the image flash when the computer is used online?
When the image flashes, adjust the angle of the camera and the focus should
reset.
How do I improve the image quality while my system is in use?
Light plays a very important role in image quality. Adjust your webcam angle
to adjust lighting conditions. Natural daylight or bright white bulbs are the
best options for optimal image quality.
Why is the image reversed after installation?
Is there a way to change it?
For Windows XP SP1 or Windows XP SP2, the image is reversed if the USB port
being used is USB1.1. We recommend installing the Service Pack that includes
“AMCAP”. Go into Properties > Reverse and remove the checkmark.
I use Windows Me, is there a driver I can download to use the webcam?
Unfortunately, Windows Me and Windows 98 are not supported.
Why is the image on my system not as clear as expected?
Using the latest Microsoft Service Pack and the USB 2.0 or 3.0 port will
improve the image quality. Most newer systems will not experience this issue.
Why is my webcam acting slow or there is a delay in the image?
Try restarting your computer as this may solve the issue. Ensure that the
webcam is recognized properly in Windows Device Manager or MacOS System
Report. If the issue happens only while using your video chat application,
check your internet connection bandwidth and/or adjust the quality settings in
your video chat application. Make sure that the webcam is connected directly
to a High-Speed USB 2.0 or 3.0, preferably the one at the rear if you are
using a desktop computer. Connect the webcam directly to the computer. Try to
bypass your Dock, USB hub, USB extension cable, the USB port of the monitor,
or keyboard. If you still experience problems, try connecting the webcam to
another computer.
Why does the microphone produce noise and muffled sound in Windows?
To resolve this, go to the Windows sound settings and configure the bit depth
and sample rate of your webcam’s microphone to? 2 channel, 16 bit, 44100Hz (CD
Quality).
How do I enable my built-in microphone?
First, ensure that your device is connected to your PC or Mac. In Windows,
navigate to your sound settings. Under the input selection, choose the
VisionTek Webcam Microphone as the device you would like to use. To enable the
webcam Microphone in video conferencing software (Microsoft Teams, Zoom,
Skype, Etc.) you will need to open the video conference software and navigate
to the settings section. From there, locate the audio settings and then select
the Webcam Microphone as the default input device. In Mac OS, go into
utilities and find Audio MIDI Setup. From there choose the Webcam Device and
select use this device for sound input.
Why does the webcam not work when used online?
If the webcam stops functioning correctly when going online, a simple system
restart should resolve the issue. If you are still experiencing issues, please
contact our support department for assistance.
What do I do if there is no image being displayed when the camera is
connected properly?
In the event you are connecting to a system that already has another webcam or
media capture device connected, you will need to select the VisionTek Webcam
as the source instead of a different option. This selection can be made in
most video conference services. In some cases, Windows will have a “camera
switch” icon that can be pressed which will change video capture sources.
How do I know if my webcam is being detected in macOS?
Click the Apple logo in the upper left corner and select “About This Mac”.
When the window appears, click on “System Report”. Select “Audio” on the left
and the VisionTek Webcam will appear in the list of devices. Next, click on
“Camera” and the VisionTek webcam will appear as a camera device.
