webcam usage help: How do you tell when it is on?

My wife used it when she was in Germany. Skype worked fine, we talked every day. She has 2 gig of ram in it. It only ran slow if she had other programs running in the background. CyberLink YouCam runs well on it too. You can use it for vid email, YouTube and to print selecte photo's. I hope that I was of some help.

Your turning it off. Click button one time orange light should come on. That's pause. Click it again blue light comes on. Its recording.

On the back of the camera there is a "lighting bolt" which indicates flash. Press once when the camera is on and on the lcd screen you will see that lighting bolt with a slash through it indicating that the flash is off. A lighting bolt with the letter "A" indicates that it is back on and in automatic mode.

There is an option in the setup menu for Motion Detection (on/off). I leave mine off so it always records when power is on. I haven't tried the "on" setting. Note that I have 2 of these devices. I liked the first so much I bought a 2nd one for my wife's car. The 2nd one was defective and I had to return it to the vendor. Their support was horrible and their shipping time was over 7 days. The problem was resolved, but communication with the vendor was unbelievably bad.

I haven't seen that capability, as far as I can tell if one camera is recording the other is idle.

The following instructions are all given assuming that you are looking at the back of the camera. While the camera is on, press the TOP LEFT (OK) button once to stop recording. Then press the BOTTOM LEFT (Mode) button Twice, this brings you to the menu. Press the TOP RIGHT (Up) button Once, then press the TOP LEFT (OK) button Once to switch to the Settings tab. Once on the Settings tab press the BOTTOM RIGHT (Down) button Once. Then press the TOP LEFT (OK) button UNTIL you see the language you desire displayed on the screen (the whole menu changes language as you cycle through the options). I'm giving you these instructions out of memory, so if it doesn't work, let me know and I'll verify the steps with my cam.

Sorry for the late response. The message got lost in my e-mail. I set the device up myself. Though I have a vast knowledge of electronic devices the setup for this device is rather simple. One thing that did confuse me at first is the device is setup to reboot automatically every Saturday at 2AM. I changed the time due to the fact I am sleeping during that hour and would like the cam operational through the evening hours. But the wires and setup for the device is very basic and the support line is very helpful.

When your camera is turned on, your camera is uploading video to our servers if you have CVR service enabled. If you only have Live Streaming, the camera will only detect motion and sound events if you have those enabled, or stream live when you choose to view it. You may turn the camera off at any time in the camera's settings, either from your computer or our mobile app. Hope this helps!

Check the connection. Turn TV off, connect camera then turn TV on and open Skype and check if camera is operational.

Navigate until you see "English" or something. I found it within a minute. The camera will be "ON" however, the screen goes black so you don't look like a weirdo then your driving at night :)

I'm not sure, I don't use this anymore. I got a new computer with a cam built in.

I'm not sure. I have never been able to find a setting that would turn it on during video recording and now we don't use it more than once a year so the battery is dead. It would make sense that there should be a setting that would let you turn on the light during video; maybe the company's website has the user manual PDF download...? Good luck

Do these cam's zoom in and out? Does the inferred work on total darkness? can you see all cams at once either on your computer or your phone? And most importantly are they wireless? During the day does it show color? And at night its black & white of course right? Can anyone help me here, if this does not have everything i just described, ive gotten ones before and returned them because of there not this! and its a must i have all of this.

on the left side of the control, push it to activate the camera, don't get confused with the red and green LED on the camera, green means it is off, red means to record. good luck!

Barry! I just read now in the manual: Motion detection ON (enable) OFF (off). Try this when you connect 12 VDC to camera. It should detect motion. I never used this function either:-( Steve
