Operating system requirements: Windows XP, Windows Vista ,Windows 7 or Windows 8. If your PC is Windows
XP: before the installation of your Camera please check if Service Pack2 is installed. If not, please update your
XP from the Microsoft web site. If your PC has a USB port less than 2.0, there may be some problems in captur-
ing image from the camera due to the slow transmission.

just been installed from the CD.

9. At the end of the identification process, disconnect your Camera and try to plug it again, in order to check if
the Driver was installed correctly (no Windows error messages should appear).

shows how to solve any problem which Windows could give.
Some notes
You should know that your Windows PC needs to install a Driver before capturing images from the camera: after
installing the driver from the CD, Windows needs to recognize the camera before using it.
Often a PC has some ports on the front and some on the back: the ports on the back are usually faster. We sug-
gest to use these ones.
All our cameras, even though they may have an external connection, do not need any external power supply
because it comes from the USB cable of your PC.
If you connect the camera into another USB port, Windows needs to recognize its Driver again even if it has
view
