Web cam USB wire, too long?
    #14740423 - 07/09/11 10:57 AM (12 years, 10 months ago)

I bougth 5 meter USB extension to my webcam, so i could put it outside the house to wacth and record any movement.


Well, in the past this webcam worked really well, but when i tried running it with extension cable it wouldnt work well at all... very strange behaviour - it starts recording shit on and off by itself, without anyone passing by... FPS is really wacky too...

Im going to take my latop on monday and use the camera cable it came with but keep laptop near camera.

Still, WHY stupid USB cable is to blame for poor performance of this card?
I remember reading somewhere in college that USB do not work well over long distances, still, 5 meters, :dudewtf:



BTW this is to do with this thread:

Is your webcam 2.0? And is the cable certified for USB 2.0? Does the cable work well (and reliably) with other USB devices? E.g. try connecting a USB hard drive to it (if you have one) and see if you can transfer lots of files without problems.

> I bougth 5 meter USB extension to my webcam

The maximum cable length for USB 2.0 is 5 meters (total).  If you are plugging another USB cable into the extension cable, then you are exceeding the maximum length and will have all kinds of strange transmission errors.
