Usage

1. The IB-CAM301-HD features full Plug & Play support for Windows® and macOS®!

2. Place the camera in front of you at a position of your choice (using the clamp base at the top of a monitor is recommended)

3. Plug the USB 2.0 Type-A into a supported USB port of the host computer.
   Note: The IB-CAM301-HD can be connected to or disconnected from the computer via USB cable without shutting down the computer.
   Maybe the system will automatically install some of the required drivers once it is connected to your computer’s USB Type-A port. If you receive any prompt, follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
   To use the camera’s internal microphone, you will have to select it as a USB audio input in your application settings.
   Important: If the computer does not automatically recognize the camera when it is plugged in, try plugging it into a different USB port. If this does not work, then restart the computer. This will cause the camera to be recognized in most cases.

4. Start any application that accepts a USB video stream, such as Skype, Teams, Zoom, YouTube, and begin using your camera.

View camera on Windows®

Windows° 10 users can use the camera app, which is already installed with the operating system. This will allow you to preview the camera image, and capture still frames and video clips.

If you want to use the camera with other applications, you must activate the camera in the Windows° security settings.

• To begin, select the Start button, and then select Camera in the list of apps, or type “camera” in the search bar.
• If you want to use the camera within other apps, select the Start button, select Settings > Privacy > Camera, and then turn on “Let apps use my camera”.
• From there, turn on each of the listed apps where you want to use the camera.

After you open the Camera app, you may need to switch to the Full HD Camera (IB-CAM301-HD). Here’s how to switch from one to another:

• Select Start > Camera > Change camera (button upper right).

When you can see an image from the camera:

• Select Photo or Video and take a picture or make a video.
• To see your new photo or video, or ones you’ve taken before, select Start > Photos and then choose the collection you want to see.

View camera on macOS®
macOS° users can use the Photo Booth app, which is already installed with the OS. This will allow you to preview the camera images, and capture still frames and video clips.

Note: While Photo Booth can be used to quickly preview the camera image, higher-quality videos using the full camera resolution should be created in iMovie or QuickTime, since

Photo Booth does not use the full camera image.

As in Windows°, you may need to allow apps installed on your computer to access the camera in the macOS° security settings.

• To begin, select the Finder button, click Applications, and start Photo Booth.

If you want to use the camera within other apps, you will need to enable access in the macOS° Security & Privacy settings:

• Go to the Apple menu in the top left corner of the screen and choose System
• Go to the “Security & Privacy” preference panel.
• Select the Privacy tab then choose Camera from the left side list.
• Locate the app(s) that you want to enable camera access for, and check the box alongside that app name to enable camera access for that application.
• To see an image from the camera in Photo Booth, you may need to select the camera from the list of attached devices in the app.
• At the top of your screen, click Camera in the app menu, and select the Full HD camera (IB-CAM301-HD) from the list of options.

When you can see an image from the camera:

• To capture images from the camera, click the red camera icon.
• To switch to video mode, click the film strip icon in the bottom left corner of the app. The red camera icon will change to a video icon at which point you will be able to record a video.

• To switch to video mode, click the film strip icon in the bottom left corner of the app. The red camera icon will change to a video icon at which point you will be able to record a video.

Capture HD video with the QuickTime player
QuickTime on macOS° offers a method for easily creating video recordings that use the full camera resolution.

• To begin, select the Finder button, click Applications, and start QuickTime Player.
• After QuickTime launches, click File > New Movie Recording.
• To select the camera input, click the small downward-facing arrow next to the round record button.
• Click the record button to capture the video.

View camera on Android’

• You will need a USB OTG (On-The-Go) adapter from USB Type-A to Type-C® or Micro-B, depending on the existing port on the Android device (not included).
• You will need an Android app that supports USB webcams (search for USB Webcams).
• After installing the app of your choice and connecting the camera via OTG adapter, you can use the camera via the app interface.

Caution

If the webcam becomes hot after running for a long time, we suggest that you stop using it for a while.

• Avoid touching the lens with fingers, sharp or coarse materials, and use a clean, soft cloth for cleaning.
• Do not use the camera in hot, cold, dusty, or humid environments.
• Avoid dropping the camera, as impacts may cause damage to the lens, internal malfunction, or scratches to the camera surfaces.
