Troubleshooting

Important Notes Regarding USB Connectivity:
USB 3.0 ports are backward 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 camera its own USB port on the device) as they are not well suited to transmitted HD video reliably.

USB extension systems must be fully compatible with the version of the USB that you are using and must utilize an external power supply when required. Caution: Some “Compatible” USB 3.0 extenders do not actually have the full 5Gbps bandwidth required for uncompressed HD video – so check bandwidth specs.

Always connect the HuddleCamHD camera directly to the device in order to associate the UVC drivers before attempting to use any extension system.

USB 3.0 power saving settings in the device’s operating system should be turned off completely for reliable USB camera connectivity.

HuddleCamHD Cameras

All HuddleCamHD camera utilize the UVC (USB Video Class) drivers that are built into Windows, Mac OSD, and Linux to stream HD video to your device via your device’s USB port (USB 2.0 or 3.0 depending upon the HuddleCamHD model).

When your device successfully recognizes the camera, your device will register the HuddleCamHD camera 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 HuddleCamHD model in use connected as a fully functional USB 3.0 device (HuddleCamHD) as well as a USB 2.0  device with limited functionality (USB2.0 Camera).

If your device has not connected to or has not recognized the HuddleCamHD camera as an imaging device, try reconnecting the camera via USB (USB  2.0 or USB 3.0 depending upon the HuddleCamHD model). If the camera still does not operate properly, please contact HuddleCamHD support at  [email protected] for further assistance.

Similarly, you can see a connected device in System Information on a Apple computer. See screenshot below:

In this example, you can see the HuddleCamHD model in use connected as a fully functional USB 3.0 device “HuddleCamHD” as well as a “USB2.0  camera” with limited functionality (USB2.0 camera).
