USB 

 

You can connect the camera to any USB port on your computer. The computer does not have to 
be switched off. USB ports are 'hot-swappable', which means that you do not have to restart 
Windows every time you connect a new USB device. The USB driver will detect the camera as 
new hardware. It can be used within a few seconds, without the need to restart the computer. 

 

If you unplug the camera while it is actively providing an audio or video stream to an application 
on your computer, the computer may crash. To avoid these problems, first close any applications 
using audio from the camera microphone or video from the camera before unplugging the Philips 
USB PC Camera.

You can determine if the camera is installed
