Included Software
Connection Guide
For best results, install the software on the included CD-ROM before
connecting the W-25 to your computer.
Locate a free USB 2.0 port on your computer.
•
Attach the W-25’s USB plug directly to the free USB 2.0 port.
•
Do not use a USB hub, nor a USB extension cable, as these can interfere with
•
the webcam’s connection to your computer, and compromise performance.
If you’re running a compatible operating system (see opposite), the W-15 will
•
automatically be detected and drivers will be installed. A popup dialog box will
alert you once drivers have been installed.
There is no need to restart your computer if you connect/disconnect the W-15
•
webcam. Like most USB devices, it supports “hot-swapping”.
To physically mount the W-25 Webcam, use the base folded down as a stand,
•
or fold the base and use it as a clamp to attach the W-25 to your LCD screen
or notebook display.
Placement Tips
Where you put the W-25 is really up to you, but here are a couple of suggestions.
The W-25 will automatically adjust exposure levels (that is, how bright
•
everything in the image appears to be) unless manually overridden. Thus, if
you’re sitting in front of a bright light source (such as a window) and you are
in shadow, the difference in brightness might cause you to ‘under expose’ and
appear only as a silhouette. We suggest trying to keep everything the camera
sees evenly lit.
Any camera generally gives better results being set up higher than the subject
•
and looking down, rather then looking up at it. This is particularly true of faces
- it’s not so flattering seeing up one’s nose! Thus, we suggest mounting the
W-25 level with yourself or slightly above.
We’ve included all the software you’ll need to run the W-25 on the included
CD-ROM. Please note that the included software requires a Microsoft
Windows operating system - see Technical Specifications opposite.
