I'm trying to connect a ToupTek XCAM4K8MPA camera to a Linux Ubuntu 20.04 64-bit computer to use with their provided ToupLite software for microscopy image capturing. The camera comes with a USB 3.0 cable, HDMI cable and USB WLAN adapter.
I have managed to set up the ToupTek ToupLite software (Link to manual, Link to download page) which, as far as I understand, comes with the SDK included. I have then connected the camera via USB 3.0 and HDMI cable to the computer, but ToupLite shows No device as in, the camera is not recognized or connected. I have tested the camera by simply connecting it to a computer monitor via HDMI cable and it works, but for capture I would like it to be connected to a computer and the WLAN or Wi-Fi connection solution is not really a good option.
Perhaps someone has some ideas of what I am missing.

I ended up using the WLAN connection. Made a non-changing IP address for the camera and the ToupLite software recognizes that it is on the local network.
Additional info:
Tested it with Linux Ubuntu 22.04, when connected via USB3.0 connection, it can be seen the same as a web camera, using cheese.
