Dream Chip provides a free of charge and open source control software (ProVideo GUI)
for its camera devices. You should have received a copy of the software with your camera
purchase. If not, or you want to check for an updated version please visit our GitLab
download page:

https://gitlab.com/dreamchip/provideo-downloads

If you want to develop your own control software, feel free to check out our software
repository:
