How to get IBM pc camera running on windows 8?

best security camera cnet image

Nick

Assuming i know my IDE from my AVI, (im not new to computers) I tried installing an old IBM PC camera the one with the 8889 #, now i was able to download a driver, and install it to the device, download the computer software for that device, and thanks to the YES or NO options windows leaves you with, there is nothing else i can possibly do in combinations of re installing, and setting things up, My usb port charges a phone, so it cannot be power related, anyway, my computer picks it up, and runs the software, but i get the Code 10 "wont turn on" or what ever bullshit error windows wants to leave me with, and the softwares tell me "no camera is plugged in". In my anger i have grabbed it by the cord and swung it into the door, the board came out and works just the same, so im trying one more time, is there any way to get this running with third party software, or is it just useless obsolete tech, i got an old xbox controller to work without issue on my pc, this is just crazy, i got the camera for free, so i dont care about it, the goal was to setup a security camera, can i mod the board to just work, or is my computer just not going to recognize this POS

Hey, that is a great question, thanks for coming to answers, I hope this information helps.
Press the designated button to turn on your camera. If you are using an external camera, use a compatible USB cable to connect the camera to the USB port of your computer.

Visit a website that allows you to test your webcam online. An example of a site you can use include http://www.ehow.com/how_8443971_test-webcam-online.html
Next try this.
Click the "Allow" button from the flash player settings window. You should now see live video footage from your web camera. If you don't see live video, your web camera is not working properly.
To reinstall the drivers try this. Right click on My Computer-> Properties -> Device manager -> Imaging Devices -? Webcam. Right click on the webcam and uninstall it. This will cause the computer to reinstall the drivers and software. Restart the computer and hopefully your problem will be fixed.

Is there a type of cheap security camera that can record my dad looking at porn in the act and alert my mom?

houseofmiz

My dad has been looking at porn (even when my mom is sitting right there on the couch next to the recliner) and I can easily see his screen from where I sit in the dinning room on my comp, and I've told my mom before and she believes me because she has found it all over the harddrive on his old computers. My dad claims his Mac doesn't have histroy even though I saw the option in the toolbar, and he clicks on it and its all gone, because he deleted it! We have an open counterspace which the chair is pushed up againest and whenever I walk into the kitchen he quickly closes the screen or switches pages. And whenever I accuse him hedenys it and gets extremely defensive, my dad has even cheated on my mom before. WHat is a great small (cheap) security camera I can set up on the counter, hidden beneath something and record my dad in the act to show my mom?
My dad knows about all those spy program so they won't work... he never leaves his comp alone an its password protected. My moms been planning a devoice for a while but he got rid of the papers before my mom even got to sign them or anything, he lies about my mom spending all this money to his parents, and he spends the money so we can't spend any of it, even for food.

Answer
don't listen to that jerk reyderz...obviously he is a child molester and trying to defend his own actions...

there are alot of spy programs you can load onto his computer that will show you everything he looks at and it can mail you all that info without him knowing it...go to cnet.com and there are alot of free downloads that will let you see...

A true man will never cheat on his family...it is not just cheating on his wife it is cheating on the family...the family goes through the suffering not just the wife...
