On AVer conference cameras, the status LED generally shows whether the camera is powered, starting up, streaming video or in an error or muted state. A steady light during a call usually means the camera is in use, and a blinking light usually means it's booting, updating or waiting for a connection. On AVer document cameras, an orange or yellow light usually means standby: the unit has power but isn't switched on. Exact colors vary by model and firmware, so confirm against your model's user manual.
Common LED patterns
| Light | What it usually means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Solid blue | Camera is on and video is in use | Normal during a call |
| Blinking blue | Starting up, updating firmware or waiting for a host connection | Wait 1-2 minutes. Don't unplug during a firmware update |
| Solid red | Varies by model: tally (live), privacy/mute, or a fault | Check whether the camera is muted or in privacy mode, then check the manual |
| Blinking red | Often an error or failed boot | Power-cycle; if it persists, reset or update firmware |
| Orange / amber | Standby or low-power mode on many models | Press power or start a call |
| No light | No power, or LED turned off in settings | Check the power adapter, USB or PoE, and LED settings |
These patterns are general guidance. AVer's manual for your model lists the exact meaning. See AVer camera manuals.
Blinking blue light that won't stop
- Wait for boot or update to finish. PTZ cameras can take a minute or two to calibrate and initialize.
- Check the USB connection. Plug directly into the PC, not a hub. Use the supplied cable or an active USB cable for long runs.
- Check the meeting app. Select the AVer camera in Teams or Zoom settings. If no app is using the camera, it may stay in a waiting state.
- Check power. Use the original power adapter. On PoE models such as the PTZ310UV2, confirm the switch port supplies PoE+.
- Power-cycle the camera and restart the PC.
- Update firmware with AVer's tools. See AVer firmware update.
Red light on an AVer camera
- Tally light: Pro PTZs can show a red tally when the camera is the live source in a production switcher. That's normal.
- Privacy or mute: On bars and kits like the VB342 Pro and VC520 Pro3, check whether video or the mic is muted.
- Fault: A blinking red light that persists after a restart usually means a hardware or firmware problem. Try a factory reset, then contact AVer support.
Orange or yellow light on an AVer document camera
AVer visualizers usually show orange or yellow in standby. Press the power button on the camera to wake it. If it goes back to orange right away:
- Check the power adapter and outlet.
- Disconnect USB and HDMI, then power on.
- Check the sleep or power-saving setting in the menu.
- Update the firmware.
