Vision Camera and PC Setup
Let’s face it, there are many people out there who will probably get the Xbox Live Vision Camera and a good portion of those probably know very little about the PC. So I figured I’d come up with a PC walkthrough to help those get this little thing set up properly on the PC. I’ve included pictures for those who are like me and believe that a picture is worth a thousand words. I’m running Windows XP Home. And a small note…yes the ring of light still glows when connected to a PC.
I hope this helps some of the less technically inclined souls out there. Be sure to also read the Microsoft support article for more information.
- Step 1 - shows what happens immediately when the Vision Camera is inserted into a USB port on your PC
- Step 2 - shows the Wizard that pops up prompting you to install Xbox Security Method 3, Version 1.00…select (Recommended) to install the needed software to make the Vision Camera work
- Step 3 - shows the end result if things went well…just click finish
- Step 4 - shows the new hardware ready to use
- Windows Live Messenger - this was an extra I took a shot of showing the settings for use with Windows Live Messenger. just go to Tools and adjust your Audio/Video setup
