Fehlerbehebung

Camera not detected by computer:

• Stellen Sie sicher, dass das USB-Kabel sowohl mit der Kamera als auch mit dem Computer fest verbunden ist.
• Try a different USB port on your computer, preferably a USB 3.0 port.
• Testen Sie es gegebenenfalls mit einem anderen USB-Kabel.
• Starten Sie Ihren Computer neu.
• Check your operating system's device manager (Windows) or lsusb command (Linux) to see if the device is listed.

Poor image quality or excessive noise:

• Ensure adequate lighting in the environment. While the camera has low-light capabilities, extreme darkness will still affect image quality.
• Adjust camera settings within your software (e.g., exposure, gain, white balance).
• Verify that the lens is clean and free from smudges or dust.
• Check for available firmware updates from Arducam's official website, as updates can improve image processing.

Low frame rate:

• Reduce the resolution or disable certain image enhancements in your software to decrease bandwidth requirements.
• Close other applications that might be consuming significant system resources.
