Frequently Asked Questions - WC2130 SILVERCREST

How do I install the SilverCrest WC2130 webcam?

First, install the driver and software from the included CD. Do not connect the webcam until the software is installed. Insert the CD, run Setup.exe, install the device driver, then restart your computer. After restart, connect the webcam to a USB port. Windows will detect it and complete the installation.

Why is there no image from the webcam?

Ensure the webcam is properly connected to a USB 2.0 port (especially for microphone function). In the software, select 'USB 2.0 PC Camera' as the source. If the image is blurry, rotate the focus ring to adjust. Also check that the status LED is lit, indicating the webcam is active.

How do I focus the webcam?

The webcam has a manual focus ring. Rotate it until the image appears sharp. This ring is located on the front of the camera.

What software is included with the WC2130?

The package includes ArcSoft VideoImpression, PhotoImpression, and Funhouse. VideoImpression is for recording and editing videos, PhotoImpression for capturing and editing images, and Funhouse for creative photo effects.

Can I use the webcam without the CD?

The webcam requires drivers for full functionality. If you don't have the CD, you may try generic UVC drivers built into Windows, but some features may not work. It is recommended to use the software from the CD.

Why is my microphone not working?

If you are using Windows Vista, connect the webcam to a USB 2.0 port, as USB 1.1 may cause microphone issues. Also ensure the microphone is selected as the default recording device in your system sound settings.

Is the webcam compatible with Windows 10?

The manual lists support for Windows XP and Vista. Compatibility with newer OS like Windows 10 may be limited. You can try the drivers from the CD, but they may not work. Consider searching for generic UVC drivers from the manufacturer's website.

How do I clean the webcam?

Use a clean, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not open the housing or use any liquids. Avoid exposure to strong heat, sunlight, or moisture.

What is the warranty period and how to claim?

The SilverCrest WC2130 comes with a 36-month warranty from the date of purchase. If you have a problem, contact the hotline (UK: 0207-3650744, Ireland: 01-2421583). You will receive an RMA number. Send the product with the RMA and proof of purchase for free repair.

How do I dispose of the webcam?
