White Balance Instructions: Your MiniVID WiFi camera is set to automatically white balance after a few seconds of running. There-
fore, you should not have to manually adjust the white balance. However, if you find the camera’s image is inconsistent with what
you see through your eyepieces, even after the auto-adjustment, turn your microscope’s light to full brightness, and place a white
sheet of paper beneath your 4x or 10x objectives for a few seconds. This action will reset the camera’s white balance, ensuring
that the auto-balance works properly and your camera provides the most accurate color rendering.

After waiting a few seconds, you will see the WiFi camera appear on your list of connected devices. “WiFiCamera_5G_#####”
is the name of the device. Each camera will have a unique number after the underscore. Select the camera and enter the securi-
ty code “12345678.” You are now connected. Please note that while you are connected to the WiFi camera, your computer will
not be able to access the internet.

General Precautions and Maintenance
Treat your MiniVID WiFi as you would any high-quality electronic device. Handle it with care, and do not expose it to moisture or
extreme temperatures.
Do not touch the chip inside the camera. If you see spots on the screen, there is likely dust on the chip. This can be cleaned by
blowing canned air into the camera.
Please do not attempt to open camera case. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
USB Conflicts: When there are a number of devices installed at the same time, unexpected errors can arise. The cause can be
insufficient USB bandwidth or too much combined current being drawn by USB devices. To test these conditions you should
uninstall and unplug as many other USB devices as possible.
Image viewing problems: If you see only a black screen, ensure that the trinocular port is opened on the microscope. Point the
camera towards a window to confirm that the camera is functioning – light should appear on the screen (though it will not focus
when not installed on a microscope).
Computer does not recognize device: Make sure you have plugged the camera into a USB 2.0 port. Always try to use the same
port each time; otherwise the computer will see the camera as a new device when plugged into a new port. If this happens, just
follow the wizard again and the camera will work on the new port as well.
Slow frame rate or frozen screen: Select smaller resolution settings. Depending on the age of the computer, the video driver may
not support the maximum resolution and speed performance capable by the MiniVID WiFi camera.
