Hardware installation

The Conceptronic Flexcam is an UVC (Universal Video Class) webcam, meaning that you can plug the Flexcam in a free USB port of a computer with UVC support (like Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Linux), without the need to install any drivers.

• Turn on your computer.
• Connect the USB connector of the Flexcam to a free USB port of your computer.

The computer will recognize and install the Flexcam automatically with the default drivers of your operating system.
