Confronted to the red leds, now the light is much more shiny, so the 3 dot in FT are a little bit spiky, lowering the threshold to remove spikes makes the white dots too much small and the tracking is not clean. Obviously I've covered the webcam lens with 1 or more layers of floppy, but no way to obtain a clean image, there are some tips? Stay FREE
