Why is the image that I get from my webcam connected to my target PC all black?

Why is the image that I get from my webcam connected to my target PC all black?

I am using the "AVEN Mighty Scope 5M Digital Microscope" which can be found on this website.

MATLAB shows the camera in its webcam list and it works with the Image Acquisition Toolbox, so I believe it is UVC compliant.

The "AVEN Mighty Scope 5M Digital Microscope" is not UVC compliant according to the seller. In order to use a camera with Simulink Real-Time, it must be UVC compliant.

Run below command in MATLAB 2017b for documentation:

In order to use a camera with MATLAB/Image Acquisition Toolbox, it is not necessary for the camera to be UVC compliant.
