Connecting the Webcam

Plug the mini USB connector on the USB connector cable into the port on the base of the webcam.

NOTE: Only plug the webcam directly into the notebook or into a separately powered USB hub.

Taking pictures on Windows

To take a picture, click on "Take new picture" in the upper left of the window. A miniature preview of the picture that has been taken will now appear below in the file bar. You can now copy this image and paste it into any directory of your choice.

Installing the photo and video software

The SmartSpy Webcam is supplied with the photo and video editing software package from Arcsoft.

Using Arcsoft Videolpression 2, you can record videos and make different adjustments to them.

Arcsoft Photolmpression is designed for managing images. With this program you can also edit the pictures that have been taken and remove red eye, for example.

Arcsoft Magic-i creates numerous effects for your videos which you can also use in your messenger program.

Please refer to the help section of each respective program for information on how to use the software.

Insert the supplied software CD into your CD-ROM drive. The installation menu will launch automatically. If this does not happen then open Windows Explorer and double click on the symbol for your CD-ROM drive.

Troubleshooting

If your webcam is not detected then reconnect it and, if necessary, try a different USB port. Make sure that the webcam is not connected to a USB hub without its own separate power supply.

If your messenger program does not display the webcam output then check to see that you have set it as the video source. To do that, go to Options in the messenger program and set the video source to "USB Video Device".
