Important Notes Regarding USB Connectivity: USB 3.0 ports are backwards compatible with USB 2.0 devices. USB 2.0 ports are not completely forward compatible with USB 3.0 devices (some USB 3.0 devices will connect to USB 2.0 with limited functionality). External USB hubs should be avoided (i.e. give the webcam its own USB port on the device) as they are not well suited to transmitting HD video reliably. USB extension systems must be fully compatible with the version of USB that you are using and must utilize an external power supply, when required. Always connect the HuddleCam directly to the PC in order to associate the UVC drivers before attempting to use any extension system. USB power saving settings in the device's operating system should be turned off completely for reliable USB webcam connectivity. HuddleCam Cameras All HuddleCamHD cameras utilize the UVC (USB Video Class) drivers that are built into Windows, Mac OS and Linux to stream HD video to your device via your device's USB port (USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 depending upon HuddleCam model). When your device successfully recognizes the camera, your device will register the HuddleCam as an "imaging device". You can see this in your Windows Device Manager program (type "device manager" into the Windows search tool) as shown in the screenshot, below:

In this example, you can see the HuddleCam model in use connected as a fully functional USB 2.0 device (HuddleCamHD). If your device has not connected to or has not recognized the HuddleCam as an imaging device (in which case, you may see a new "unknown device", "Westbridge" or "CYTFX3" labeled device show up in Device Manager's "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" section rather than in the "Imaging Devices" section), the HuddleCam will not be available to programs that utilize a webcam. In this case, try restarting the device and reconnecting the webcam via USB (USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 depending upon HuddleCam model).
