Technical Issues
•
Some USB 2.0 ports on Dell Desktop Computers do not provide enough power to operate the Moticam
1000 and 2000 cameras. This is an issue on the Dell side and not the Moticam 1000 and 2000. You must
install the USB 2.0 card provided with the camera.
•
It is recommended for compatibility reasons, that you install the included USB2.0 PCI card.
•
Laptops which do not have USB 2.0 already installed within, will not be able to use the Moticam 1000 and
2000 cameras. Because the Moticam 1000 and 2000 require a full 5V, provided through the USB2.0 port,
some laptops may not work. Call your Laptop Manufacturer to verify that your USB2.0 ports supply this
voltage. Externally powered Third Party USB 2.0 Cardbus adapters may or may not work.
•
Neither the Moticam 2000 nor the Moticam 1000 work properly under florescent lighting, due to flickering of
the image.
•
It may be necessary to plug your USB cord in a different USB port in your computer, if you do not see an
image or if the Green LED light on your camera does not come on. This is due to low USB voltage. This
will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.
•
Since this camera uses such a high USB bandwith rate, compatibility with your computer system cannot be
guaranteed.
•
Computers with VIA Brand USB ports will not function with these cameras.
