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 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 you
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 the 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, USB port of monitor or keyboard. If you still experience
problems, try connecting the webcam to another computer.
Why does the microphone produce a 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.
