很多人NB換了vista OS之後,ToUCam 840K就無法再繼續使用...
philips又沒有提供ToUCam 840K的驅動程式...
今天晚上我已經嘗試成功把他的軔體改成SPC900NC的版本~
讓Vista把ToUCam 840K認定為SPC900NC就可以正常執行!

詳細的說明在下面這個連結裡...(第6點)

我曾參考http://www.azcendant.com/VistaToUcamInstall.htm
但740K還是不能在Vista上執行!

立群大哥,
   那個我也看過,但沒有840K...所以沒去試!
   但我提的方法昨天已經試過可行...而且測試OK!
   Webcam已經可以在vista上使用沒問題~
   而且這方法也支援740K,您可以試試看唷~

UPDATE

I am slowly getting back into imaging after a three year absence and I was testing out my equipment last night. I was especially dismayed to find that my ToUCam Pro (840K model) was not supported by Philips for Windows 7. There are no drivers for it. :(

My camera is in great condition and I think its still a viable planetary camera, so I was not looking forward to having to go buy a new webcam.

After some sleuthing on the internet, I found a workaround! I can't take credit for this as I found it on another forum.

Here is my version of the steps (do this with your camera plugged in and unrecognized):

SPC900

How do I Use Philips SPC900NC-00 for Windows 10 (32bit|64 bit .

http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/cpindex.pl?ctn=SPC900NC/00&hlt=Link_Software&mid=Link_Software&scy=GB&slg=ENG


1) Download and install the Windows 7 Driver (not the software, the driver) for the one of the SPC900 models of webcam from Philips.

2) After rebooting, run Notepad as administrator. If you are running the 32 bit version of Windows 7, navigate to c:Program FilesPhilipsPhilipsSPC900NC PC Camera. (If on 64-bit Windows, go to Program Files (x86).)

3) Open Camvid40.inf and edit the following lines. Turn off word wrap and turn on the Status Bar (View menu) to see the line numbers. Or count if you feel like it. ;)

Edit line 66 to look like this:
%USBVid.DeviceDesc%=USBVidx86,USBVID_0471&PID_0311&MI_00

Edit line 69 to look like this:
%USBVid.DeviceDesc%=USBVidXp64,USBVID_0471&PID_0311&MI_00

Edit line 72 to look like this:
%USBVid.DeviceDesc%=USBVidVista64,USBVID_0471&PID _0311&MI_00

You'll notice you seem to be changing the PID attriubute. Perhaps it stands for ProductID?

4) Save the file and then open SPC900.txt from the same directory.

Edit line 2 to look like this:
USBVID_0471&PID_0311&MI_00

5) Save the file and close notepad.

6) Go to Device Manager (right click on Computer, choose Properties, then select Device Manager on the resulting screen.)

7) Under Other Devices, you'll see an Unknown Device. This is your currently unrecognized webcam. Right click on the unknown device and select Update Driver Software. Select Browse my Computer and go to C:Program FilesPhilipsPhilips SPC900NC PC Camera (again, if you're on Windows 7 64-bit, you want to go into the Program Files (x86) directory.) Make sure Include Subfolders is checked and click next.

8) In a few moments you should have a nice recognized webcam. It will recognize the 840K as the SPC 900, but it should work just find in your capture software.

9) Enjoy and do something else with the time you would have spent reformatting with Windows XP or messing with a virtual XP machine.

840K 沒 driver

http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/dcbint/cpindex.pl?ctn=PCVC840K/20&slg=EN&scy=GB

SPC900還有 WIN7 DRIVER

http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/cpindex.pl?ctn=SPC900NC/00&hlt=Link_Software&mid=Link_Software&scy=GB&slg=ENG

在 hi12 平板  win10 64bit  try

一般 840k driver  => 安裝 fail
裝 spc900  driver  只有聲音裝起來

上面 spc900  有個  20m bytes 檔案 是 philips 的 Philips VLounge程式
  可以在 win10 跑但是 完全看不到 toucam pro  .  只有看到 hi12 平板本身的前相機 .

至於 5m byte 是 spc900 driver

29 樓有答案了
For my SPC880, which is actually 775 firmware on 900 hardware and no button, I downloaded "spc900nc_00_dw7_eng.exe" for Windows 7 from Philips webpage and ran it.
Pluged in the camera, went to Windows device manager and Right clicked on "Unknown Device"
Clicked "Update Driver Software"
Clicked "Browse my computer"
Clicked "Let me pick from a list"
Scrolled down and selected "Sound, video and Game controllers" then clicked Next
Scrolled down and Selected "Philips CE CSI" and then "Philips SPC 900NC PC Camera"
Clicked Next, and then Yes to the "update driver warning"
The Camera is now usable in Windows7 apps. It is now listed as Philips SPC 900NC PC Camera.
=> 就是 裝置管理員下 
 會看到 unknow 東西
 先手工改
但重點是 要使用  聲音和遊戲控制 
 會看到 有 philips  還有 Philips CE CSI"  =>    選  Philips CE CSI   
  不管警告直接 update driver 後

Philips VLounge程式  還是沒有看到 webcam
但是 driver 有在裝置管理員 安裝起來阿

philips toucam cdrom 上有個  video impress
 這可以選 到  hi12 平板 前camera  還有 後 camera
 最後 連 toucam pro 也能選到 .

 但是好像錄出來 avi  播放會 lag ?

其他  win7 driver

這沒試過

剛有發現 840k 軟體

http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/dcbint/cpindex.pl?scy=GB&slg=ENG&cat=PC_CAMERAS_CA&sct=WEBCAMS_SU&session=20080226083518_219.78.36.242&grp=PC_PRODUCTS_GR&ctn=PCVC840K/00&mid=Link_Software&hlt=Link_Software

不過 沒有試

反正spc900  driver 可以給  ToUCam 840K

 
ToUCam 840K on win10 64bit 
http://familystar.org.tw/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=1&topic=26105.0
測試是可以
抓到  但是 須要一些方式 如前說設driver

ToUCam已經算過時了，以前是選擇不多，現在專門的行星攝影機都出了一大堆，
感度高速度也快，而且也是架構在windows WDM下，拿來做其他用途也方便，
已經沒有必要再去用它了。
