Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
Aniston provides a comprehensive 2-year warranty on all AV products from the date of purchase. This covers manufacturing defects and hardware failures under normal use conditions. The warranty includes free repair or replacement and covers parts and labor costs. For commercial installations, we offer extended warranty options up to 5 years. Warranty registration is recommended for faster service and automatic updates.
You can register your product by visiting our website and filling out the product registration form. You'll need your serial number (found on the product label) and purchase receipt. Registration helps us provide better support and ensures you receive important product updates and warranty coverage. You can also register through our mobile app or by contacting our support team directly.
The serial number is typically located on a label on the back or bottom of your device. For video conferencing devices, it's usually on the rear panel. For audio equipment, check the bottom plate. The serial number format is usually "AN" followed by 8-10 digits. You can also find it in the device settings menu or through the Aniston Control App.

Installation & Setup
Most Aniston video conferencing systems include: HDMI cable (6ft), USB-C cable (6ft), power adapter, ethernet cable (3ft), and mounting hardware. Some models may include additional cables like USB-A to USB-C adapters. Check your specific product manual for the complete list of included accessories. Additional cables can be purchased separately if needed.
Use the included mounting bracket and screws. Mark the wall position at eye level (typically 4-6 feet high), ensure the wall can support the weight, drill pilot holes, and secure the bracket with provided screws. The camera should be positioned to capture all meeting participants with adequate lighting. Refer to the installation guide for specific mounting dimensions and weight requirements.
For optimal performance, we recommend: Minimum 2 Mbps upload/download for HD video, 4 Mbps for 4K video, ethernet connection preferred over Wi-Fi, stable internet with low latency (<50ms), and adequate bandwidth for other network users. Corporate firewalls may need configuration for specific video conferencing platforms. Consider QoS settings for consistent performance.
Yes, most Aniston products use standard mounting patterns (VESA compatible where applicable). Ensure your mounting solution can support the device weight and provides proper ventilation. Third-party mounts should not obstruct device ports, vents, or LED indicators. Using non-standard mounts will not void your warranty if properly installed. Check our mounting compatibility guide for specific requirements.
Connect your audio devices (speakers, microphones) to the appropriate inputs/outputs. Position speakers for optimal sound distribution and place microphones to capture all participants clearly. Test audio levels and adjust settings in your conferencing software. Consider acoustic treatments for better sound quality. Our setup wizard can help configure optimal audio settings for your room size.
Position the camera at eye level, ensure even lighting (avoid backlighting), arrange seating so all participants face the camera, maintain 3-6 feet distance from the camera, use acoustic treatments to reduce echo, and ensure stable internet connection. Consider room size when choosing camera field of view. Our room assessment tool can help optimize your setup.
Troubleshooting
First, verify the power adapter is properly connected to both the device and wall outlet. Check that the outlet is working by testing with another device. Ensure all cable connections are secure. Try a different power outlet. If using a power strip, test by plugging directly into the wall. Check for any visible damage to cables or connectors. If the device still won't power on, contact support for further assistance.
Check your internet bandwidth and ensure you meet minimum requirements. Use ethernet instead of Wi-Fi when possible. Verify proper lighting in the room - avoid backlighting and ensure even illumination. Clean the camera lens with a soft, dry cloth. Check video settings in your conferencing software and adjust resolution if needed. Restart the device and software application. Consider upgrading your internet plan if bandwidth is insufficient.
Audio echo is usually caused by microphone feedback. Ensure only one audio device is active (disable computer speakers/microphone when using external device). Adjust microphone sensitivity settings. Position speakers away from microphones. Use acoustic treatments in the room if possible. Enable echo cancellation in your conferencing software settings. Ensure all participants are using headphones if the issue persists. Check for multiple audio sources in your system.
Check network cable connections and try a different cable. For Wi-Fi connections, ensure strong signal strength and try moving closer to the router. Check for network congestion and bandwidth limitations. Verify network settings match your IT requirements. Update device firmware to the latest version. Consider using ethernet for more stable connectivity. Contact your IT department to check network stability and firewall settings.
Try a different USB port or cable. Check if the device appears in Device Manager (Windows) or System Information (Mac). Restart your computer and try again. Update or reinstall USB drivers. Check if the device works on another computer to isolate the issue. Ensure your conferencing software has permission to access the camera. Try unplugging and reconnecting the device.
Factory reset procedures vary by device model. Generally, you can access reset options through the device settings menu or by holding specific buttons during startup. Check your product manual for the exact procedure. Note that factory reset will erase all custom settings and configurations. Back up any important settings before proceeding. Contact support if you're unsure about the reset process for your specific model.
Product Features
Many Aniston cameras feature AI-powered auto-tracking and smart framing. This automatically detects and follows speakers, adjusts framing for optimal view, and ensures everyone is visible in the frame. The feature can be enabled/disabled through the device settings or companion app. Check your specific model specifications to confirm availability of these features. Some models also support gesture controls and voice commands.
Yes, the Aniston Control App is available for iOS and Android devices.

Some platforms support picture-in-picture or split-screen views.
Most Aniston devices require USB 2.0 or higher and sufficient processing power for video encoding. Check the minimum system requirements for your specific model.
