If a PL-D camera is connected to a host system, but cannot be detected in captureOEM after installing the Linux SDK, check the following:


1. Run the "lsusb" command from the terminal, and make sure that a Pixelink camera is listed as one of the USB devices.

2. Open the INSTALL.INSTRUCTIONS.txt file, which is included with the SDK, and double check that step 7 "Add read/write privilege to the camera device(s)" was completed during installation.

3. Power cycle the camera and run captureOEM after completing step 7.


If the PL-D camera still cannot be detected, please contact Support at pixelink.support@ametek.com.
