  5. What’s wrong if video communication is out of connection in a frequent manner or automatic logout occurs when a video is opened:

    • Connection is terminated as a result of network congestion;
    • The operating system and computer configuration do not satisfy the requirements of the camera;
    • An overlong USB extension cable of poor quality is used (it should be noted that the sum of the lengths of the extension cable and the USB cable of the camera is less than or equal to three meters
    • The USB port of the computer is not a standard USB2.0 port (USB ports of some laptop computers or front USB ports of some computer cases are of USB1 .1 standards);
    • The power supply for the USB port of the PC is insufficient; please change a USB port or another PC, and test.
  6. It is blurred image during video calling.

    • The network bandwidth is congested, such that videos cannot be transferred fluently, or a bandwidth-saving mode is selected; the application decreases the image quality of videos;
    • The focal length is not adjusted well. For manual focus webcam, please gently rotate the lens ring until it clear. For auto focus webcam, please wave your hand in front of the webcam, it will adjust the focus automatically.
    • The lens is dirty; please use a dedicated cleaning cloth wetted with alcohol to scrub its surface carefully.

  7. Local preview image is lagging, image tailing and frame interruption

    • The encoding format of the video-previewing software has been set as YUV or YUY2, and thus high-definition images cannot be transferred through USB2.0 cables; please change the encoding format to H.264 or MJPEG encoding in the video-previewing software (e.g. Amcap);
    • An overlong USB extension cable (it should be noted that the sum of the lengths of the extension cable and the USB cable is less than or equal to three meters) of poor quality is used together with a nonstandard USB2.0 port (USB ports of some laptop computers or front USB ports of some computer cases are of USB1 .1 standards), which defies transferring of high-definition images;
    • Computer operating system and configuration do not satisfy the requirements of the camera.
  8. What’s wrong if the screen goes blank or black during local previewing of images:

    • elf the camera you choose is provided with H.264 encoding, as PC systems are generally not supportive of H.264 decoding, the screen would go blank or black when previewing is conducted using the previewing software (e.g. Madcap) which is not supportive of H.264 decoding; please download a video previewing application supportive of H.264 decoding.
    • There is something wrong with the USB port; please change a USB port or another PC, and test;

  12. How to use an external camera when the PC has a Type C port:
    As the external camera is of a Type A USB port, use a legitimate USB HUB for changing Type C port into Type A port to connect the external camera to the PC.

  13. Is a video treated with H.264 encoding if no H.264 encoding format can be found from local previewing?

    • PC systems are generally not supportive of H.264 decoding, and it is required to download previewing software supportive of H.264 decoding; for example, as for Windows platforms, Madcap previewing software supportive of H.264 decoding can be downloaded to check the H.264 encoding format;
    • Video communication software may automatically switch among H.264, MPEG and other encoding formats based on network conditions;
    • Please check whether the model of the camera you purchase is supportive of H .264 format.
  14. What’s wrong if photographed pictures are subjected to color cast?

    Positioning maps need to be installed in the PC to achieve remote positioning, and this problem has nothing to do with the camera.

  19. Why does the 1080P high-definition camera I purchase only offer an image quality of 720P or 64DP?

    • The network bandwidth is congested, which cannot support 1080P high-definition transferring;
    • The version of the video communication software is not supportive of high definition of 1080P;
    • The image quality of the communication software is set to be 720P or 640P.
  20. Can the camera operate on iMovie, QuickTime, Media Player, Coplayer, KM player, ample year HD, VLC Media Player or Plex? iMovie, Quicklime, Media Player, Coplayer, Player, a player HD, VLC Media Player and Plex are video-editing software or video-playing software, instead of video communication software. For example, as for operation on MacBook, a video is first recorded using such video-recording software as photo booth, and then, the recorded video is edited using iMovie.

  21. What’s wrong if pictures are excessively dark?

    • Do not direct the camera towards high-brightness areas, or replace it with a product having HDR high-brightness suppression capabilities;
    • As for different light environments, brightness, contrast, gamma and other parameters may be adjusted from the video attribute of the video communication application or the video previewing and recording program.
  22. What should be done if images from the camera installed with a zoom lens having a long focal length are obviously black at their edges, or the screen goes black without images:
    For the zoom lens having a long focal length, its diaphragm is required to be matched synchronously with a long focal length; if it is matched with a short one, the problem of black edges would occur; thus, re-adjust the focal length.

  23. What’s wrong if there is the situation in which the camera can’t achieve real-time distribution and live-broadcasting in Facebook or YouTube without OBS forwarding even though a Facebook or YouTube account has been properly registered?
    Please download and install Google Chrome browser of 65.0.3325.XXX version or above to your PC (a corresponding version should be downloaded for a 32-bit or 64-bit PC system); then, register an account according to prompts, and then log onto your Facebook or YouTube account to perform real-time live- broadcasting; prior to live-broadcasting, please correctly select USB Live Camera, USB live camera audio and the speaker (loudspeaker).

  24. The video call program cannot open the camera for video communication:
    Please refer to the page 4 of .
