Hello !
I recently purchased this equipment and have followed many tutorials, but nothing seems to work as described in the manual or official videos on YouTube.

Problem:
After a few seconds, the preview image freezes, and I believe the camera remains stuck on one frame, preventing me from seeing any changes in the marker positions. I am using up-to-date DELL G7 17 Windows 10, and my LightBurn software and equipment are also up to date.

      I see that you have a repeating geometric pattern behind the circle pattern. Leaving this exposed to the camera can cause LightBurn to attempt to calculate it. You may be much further ahead to cover almost everything the camera can see before asking LightBurn to find the circle template. To calibrate my camera, I used a large plain cardboard box with the target inside it to hide most of the background.
      
      You could also test enabling the ‘Honeycomb check enabled’ switch. It would look at the background and warn you of any concerns it may be seeing with the bed of the engraver.
      
      Can you move the camera closer to the engrave bed. This may help reduce unneeded input.
      
      Finally, please test the Custom Camera System in Settings. This was coded by Oz and you may find that this gets you further than the Default Camera System written by Microsoft.
