Sphere Webcam, 350k Pixel

Can the lighting of the Webcam SL-6810 and SL-6820 be switched off?
The lighting of the Webcams can not be switched off. As a solution disconnect the USB Cable.

How do I turn off the webcam´s LEDs? Even though the PC is shut down, the webcam’s LEDs are still lit up.
Many USB ports continue to be powered even if the PC is shut down which is why the webcam’s LEDs stay on. To prevent this, you can either disable USB power after shut down in your computer’s settings or completely switch the PC off such as at the mains.
The LEDs of this webcam are controlled by a photocell and cannot be switched off manually. The lighting is switched on automatically, when the lighting conditions deteriorate. In addition, many USB ports are supplied with power, even when the PC is turned off - if this is the case,  the LEDs of the camera glow after the PC has been shut down.

My Webcam SL-6820 shows a black Window.
Start the software Amcam. The top bar contains Device, click it and select the USB Cam 168.
If the Window continues to stay black, please check whether the protective cap before the lens was removed.

When installing the USB webcam SL-6820, the file vsnpstd3.exe can not be found.
