Installation of USB Devices In General
It is important to remember that when installing devices that use a USB port, the drivers and software must be installed before the USB device is
plugged into the computer. If not done in this order, the installation may fail and cause many problems before the installation can be repaired.
This is also the case with our USB webcam.

Testing the Webcam using the AMCAP program.
Go to Start -> Programs -> PC Camera (602a VGA) and select the AMCap program.
After AMCap has started up, you must first configure the program correctly to ensure you will be using a resolution of 640x480 pixels. You have
bought a 300K webcam, which means that the webcam (lens) hardware supports a resolution of 640x480 and there are no tricks used to convert a
resolution of 320x240 to 640x480 on your computer. The result is a much sharper and clearer display.
Go to Options -> Video Capture PIN and for Output Size enter resolution 640x480. Next click Apply -> OK.
Now it is time to carry out the test. Go to Options->Preview and a view from your webcam will be displayed.
If required you can adjust the colours, brightness and framerate in Amcap.
