Remote control not working. Camera cannot be controlled via VISCA. The Camera is not working at all. Ver 1.1 6/16 Cause Power adapter is disconnected from mains or from camera. Power switch is set to OFF. USB cable is bad. Camera connects sometimes. Menu is currently displayed on the screen.
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 camera its own USB port on the device) as they are not well suited to transmitting HD video reliably.
In this example, you can see the HuddleCam 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).
Similarly, you can see a connected device in System Information on a MAC. See screenshot below: In this example, you can see the HuddleCam 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). Ver 1.
