Camera stops tracking

Sometimes my camera (ver.4) stops tracking all of a sudden and I have to move my head to fix it. My hat is centered in the crosshairs.

Any ideas why?

In the tracking screen, do you see more than one object being displayed?

What version of the SmartNAV software are you using?

Are you connected directly to the PC, or using a hub?

What version of Windows are you using?

Have you tried turn off any kind of power save feature for your USB ports?

In the "Device Manager" you can right click the "USB Root Hub"(s), that show, and then select properties. On the power management tab, uncheck the box that allows the computer to turn off the USB port to save power (i.e. uncheck the box). Sometimes that has an impact on the connectivity of the devices.

I have the latest stable software, connected to the PC, using Windows 7.
When it stops, it's like the hat is going out of the camera's view, especially when moving to the right but the only dot in the tracking screen is centered.

Have you tried updating to the 3.20.037 software?
