(3)USB3.0cable Extension
We cannot guarantee the functionality of the USB3 camera if the user adopts USB3.0 extension cables or repeaters
which are notconfirmed by us.With the extension cables or repeaters, the bandwidth of transfer may differ, and thus
causedmalfunctionssuchasa lowframerateorrecognition failureonthecamera.
Whatmaycause theproblemis that theregulation of the power lines becomes not enough,andso causesimpudence
