Fixes for the most common AVer CAM130 problems, from the quickest checks to when to contact AVer. Start at the top: most issues are a setting, a cable or firmware.
What the CAM130 has
Check the problem against what this model actually has:
- Microphones: 2 unidirectional, 100-12K Hz
- Connection: USB Type-C 3.1 Gen 1 (UVC 1.1, UAC 1.0)
- In the box: CAM130, power cable (3 m), USB 3.1 Type-C to Type-A cable (1.8 m) and QR code card
Quick checks
- Restart the device: unplug power for 30 seconds, then reconnect.
- Reconnect the cables, using the ones that came in the box.
- Check that the CAM130 is selected as the camera, microphone and speaker in Teams, Zoom or Meet.
- Update the firmware. How
Camera not detected or not showing in Teams/Zoom
- Check that the meeting app has the right camera selected (Settings → Devices in Teams, Settings → Video in Zoom).
- Plug the USB cable straight into the computer, not a hub or dock, and try the cable that came in the box.
- Close any other app that may be using the camera, then restart the meeting app.
- Restart the CAM130 by unplugging power for 30 seconds.
- Update the device firmware and the computer's meeting app.
Picture is blurry, dark or badly framed
- Clean the lens with a dry microfiber cloth.
- Make sure auto-framing or speaker tracking is turned on in AVer's app or the device settings.
- Light faces from the front; avoid a bright window behind people.
- Check the camera is at roughly eye level and centered on the room.
Keeps disconnecting or drops out
- Use the original cable and a direct port on the computer; long or cheap USB extensions cause dropouts.
- Turn off USB power saving on the computer (Windows: Device Manager → USB Root Hub → Power Management).
- Update firmware and the meeting app.
Won't turn on or status light is red/blinking
- Check the power adapter is the original one and firmly connected, and try another outlet.
- Unplug for 30 seconds and power it back on.
- Check the status light meaning in the user guide; a blinking light during startup or updates is often normal.
- If it never finishes starting, contact the manufacturer's support for a recovery.
When to contact AVer
If none of this works, the device may need warranty service (AVer warranty: camera 3 years, accessories 1 year). Open a case on AVer support. Bought from us? Contact us and we'll help with the claim.
