Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Spedal 920 Pro webcam, refer to the following common problems and their solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No image/video | Incorrect USB connection, software not recognizing webcam, privacy settings. | Ensure the USB cable is securely plugged into a working USB port. Try a different USB port. Check your video conferencing software settings to ensure the Spedal 920 Pro is selected as the camera. Verify privacy settings on your operating system allow apps to access the camera. |
| Blurry image | Manual focus not adjusted, dirty lens. | Rotate the manual focus ring on the webcam lens until the image becomes clear. Clean the lens with a soft, lint-free cloth. |
| Microphone not working | Incorrect audio input selection, muted microphone. | In your software's audio settings, ensure "Spedal 920 Pro" or "USB Live Camera Audio" is selected as the microphone. Check if the microphone is muted in your software or operating system settings. |
| Poor video quality in low light | Extremely dark environment. | While the webcam has automatic low light correction, very dark rooms may still affect quality. Try to improve ambient lighting in your environment. |
| Webcam not detected by OS | USB port issue, driver conflict. | Try connecting the webcam to a different USB port or a different computer to rule out a port issue. Restart your computer. If issues persist, check the manufacturer's website for updated drivers or support. |
