Frequently Asked Questions - APPWC02W Approx

How do I install the Approx APPWC02W webcam?

Simply plug the webcam into a USB 2.0 port on your computer. The driver-free design means no installation is needed for Windows or Mac OS. The webcam will be recognized automatically as a UVC device.

Why is my webcam not being detected?

Ensure the USB cable is firmly connected. Try a different USB port (preferably USB 2.0). Restart your computer. If using a USB hub, connect directly to the computer. Verify that your operating system supports UVC (USB Video Class) – Windows 7/8/10 and Mac OS X do.

How do I enable the built-in microphone?

The microphone is automatically enabled when the webcam is connected. In your operating system's sound settings, select 'USB Audio Device' or 'Approx Webcam' as the input device. Adjust volume levels as needed.

What is the maximum video resolution?

The webcam supports a maximum resolution of 0.3 megapixels (VGA, 640x480 pixels). It is suitable for standard video calling and basic streaming.

Does this webcam work with Mac computers?

Yes, the webcam is UVC-compatible and works with Mac OS X without additional drivers. Just plug it in and select it in applications like FaceTime, Zoom, or Skype.

How do I clean the lens?

Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently wipe the lens. Avoid using liquids or abrasive materials. If needed, slightly dampen the cloth with water, but do not apply directly to the lens.

Can I use this webcam with older operating systems?

The webcam is designed for Windows 7 and later and Mac OS X 10.6 and later. For older systems, check if they support UVC. The included Mini CD may contain legacy drivers if needed.

Why is the video quality poor or blurry?

Ensure adequate lighting in the room. Adjust the focus ring on the lens (if available) – this model has a fixed focus, so keep a distance of about 30-50 cm from the webcam. Clean the lens if necessary.

How do I attach the webcam to my monitor?

The webcam has an adjustable clip that fits most monitors and laptops. Simply open the clip and place it on top of your screen. The clip includes a rubber pad to prevent scratches.

What software is included on the Mini CD?

The Mini CD contains basic drivers for legacy systems and a webcam utility software for taking photos and recording videos. However, for most modern OS, the driver-free functionality makes the CD optional.
