Note on USB Compatibility

To look for a USB compatible
product, you can visit the product
search page at the official USB
web site: http://www.usb.org/
app/search/products.
While testing PC-CAM 300 on PC motherboards with integrated Universal Serial Bus (USB)
ports, we encountered a small number of motherboards that do not meet the USB specification
exactly. These and other non-USB-compliant motherboards may not operate correctly with
PC-CAM 300. Fortunately the manufacturers os some of these motherboards have released
new versions of motherboards or BIOS to address the problem.
If the set up program watns you that your motherboard's USSB port is incompatible, or if the
camera does not work on your system and you suspect that the problem may be related to your
PC's USB port, the following is a list of available options:
1. Contact your PC vendor.
Your PC vendor may be able to upgrade your motherboard or its BIOS to a newer version
that addresses USB incompatibilities.
2. Use a PCI host adapter which provides USB connectors.
If you are not able to upgrade your motherboard or its BIOS, we recommend this approach.
3. Attach PC-CAM 300 to a powered USB hub.
Some USB devices (such as monitors) also operate as powered USB hubs; you can also buy
dedicated powered USB hubs which are to be attached to your PC's USB port. However, in
some cases, attaching a powered USB hub to a non-USB-compliant USB motherboard
connector will not solve the problem.
