    The uEye cameras can be connected to a USB port either directly or via hubs and repeaters. A wide range of different hubs and repeaters are available at computer stores or from IDS. The USB 2.0 hubs being used must be full powered hubs that are able to provide 500 mA per USB port. Low Powered hubs, in comparison, only supply 100 mA per port, which is not sufficient for uEye cameras.
