Using the Sony EyeToy as a USB WebCam on your PC

Today, I had the idea of using a USB PC web-cam with my Sony PS2. In the past few years, the Sony EyeToy webcam for the PlayStation 2 has became quite popular because several games are now available for it. I have a PC USB webcam, so I thought maybe it's possible to use it with the PS2. That has proven to be impossible, but I did find that the reverse works. In the "Installing the Playstation 2 EyeToy as a Webcam" article, the author explains how to use the EyeToy as a USB web-cam on your PC. Now I'm looking forward to getting an EyeToy.

The new hardware dialog didn't pop-up could be caused by an "Unknown Device" driver being already installed in the "Device Manager". Open up Windows Device Manager, delete the "Unknown Device", and try again.

Thanks everyone my eye cam works fine now as a webcam. I just downloaded the drivers, took me 2 or 3 minutes. I paid 10 bucks for this thing and it looks 10 times better than the 50 dollar web cam I have. Only one thing tho when I click on (OV519CAP Video Capture Program) to take still images for my website nothing happens. Can someone help? and if I missed a thread sorry :) lol andrew you are funny!!

i have an eye toy and i keep gettin' pop-ups sayin "you do not have priveliges to add/remove hardware please contact your site administrator"and that is annoying SO HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bigboyz
Tue, 05 Dec 2006 16:40:30 -0800

To install any device under Windows NT or XP or 2000 0r 2003 you must be logged on with Administrator priveliges. If you just log on with user priveliges you will get the you do not have priveliges to add/remove hardware message.
If this is a works machine you will probably not be able to install the eye toy only the site administrator will be able.
If its a home machine log out then log back in with the administrator account you setup when you first installed your copy of windows.
If you have forgoton it you will have to re load windows and create one !.
Hope this helps best regards Ed.

i have the black namtai eyetoy (SLEH-00031) and used a step by step site last year to convert my eyetoy to a webcam, which was succesful. after rebooting my laptop and attempting to repeat this process it will not work. however, it does work on my computer? it works all the way to the last window of the wizard where instead of saying the installation has been succesful it says there is a problem with the new hardware (error code 10) the device will not start.

hey Chieh Cheng that had happened to me to. "The box for installing new hardwere doesnt pop up for me how do i find my eyetoy when its plugged in" when you said to "Unknown Device" driver being already installed in the "Device Manager". Open up Windows Device Manager, delete the "Unknown Device", and try again. wtf i cant find Windows Device Manager where do you find it????????? please help!

Joey
Wed, 17 Jan 2007 17:00:07 -0800

Joey, it would really help if be more specific (that goes for many of you that post "It doesn't work, help!"), such as what Windows version you are using. There are almost 10 different variety of Windows. And Device Manager is located in a different place different versions of Windows.

Assuming you are using XP . . . Click on the "Start" menu. Right click on "My Computer". Select "Properties". Click on the "Hardware" tab. Click on "Device Manager".

Chieh Cheng
Wed, 17 Jan 2007 17:36:30 -0800

Thank you Chieh Cheng when i plugged in my PS2 EyeToy i found it on there. So to reinstall it i go to the EyeToy usb and delete it and try again?

Joey
Wed, 17 Jan 2007 18:22:56 -0800

What kind of icon is next to it? Does it have a 'X' on it or an '!' on it or a '?' on it? If so, the wrong driver is installed/not working. You might want to remove it and try installing the right driver.

Fri, 27 Apr 2007 12:15:39 -0700

Hi I have a LG Laptop and Iam trying to install the sleh-00030 eye toy as a webcam.
Your instructions are easy to follow which I have done now for the 7th time.
The problem I am having is that after I extract the file and plug the webcam in it comes up with the found new hardware, which is correct so far.
After I go through the steps and putting in the folder where the files were extracted to it and I click next, it searches and then comes back saying it couldn't be installed cause it can't find the drivers.
Iam sure I have done everything correct by your instructions, but I cant figure out why it can't find the drivers when I tell it the correct folder to search in?.
Please Help

are you all retarded????? you all are clearly not half as intelegent as you need to be to install it...im 16 and i have two eyetoys both running on the same computer, ive set up dual capture mode so i can use them simultaniously...without any help... just google the name of your eyetoy (SLEH000 etc) followed by the word "drivers" and hundreds of sites come up... most of them with useful readme's. i have recently FAILED my ict course at school and yet i can do all of this with ease!

if at the end of the day you can't use it then no big deal, its not that great! but trust me, if you're smart enough to leave a comment on this blog then YOU CAN DO IT

This driver worked for my Silver Eyetoy (Has no model number).
Note!!! If you have already tried to install using wb0.9.311007_INSTALLER.zip then the Eyetoy will say it's a "Namtai". After you install 31eyetoy.zip it will appear as "D-Link VGA Webcam".
There are good instructions on how to install the driver here:
Installing the Playstation 2 Eye Toy as a Web cam
There are links to download for models 00030 and 00031 on that site.
I have also attached the one I used to this comment.
Also, If you have already tried to install the camera and failed, you'll need to open
Start>Settings>Control Panel>Add Hardware
[Next]
(*)Yes, I have already connected the hardware
[Next]
Select the camera from the list then follow the instructions on the website above.
Good luck :)

Whenever I put my Eyetoy in it came up with the Found New Hardware Wizard.
But now it has stopped. How do I get it back?
Cheers.

By removing the incorrect driver stub from "Device Manager". It's probably marked with an exclamation mark. You can get to the "Device Manager" by right clicking on "My Computer".

Hey.
I'm having a bit of trouble...
I've dowloaded the drivers that are needed for my eye toy to be converted to a webcam and all that, but when it comes to actually plugging the eye toy in, it's not coming up with the new found hardware thing. So it looks as if my eye toy hasn't been recognised? I don't know how to get it recognised by the computer.

I'm using Windows XP by the way.

If you know what to do... could you pleeeaase e-mail me at lil.miss.freckles_15@hotmail.co.uk

Cheers :)

I have the old black eyetoy, I installed it on my XP computer with no problem, I tried to install it on Vista, but when it finishes it says something about the D-Link VGA Webcam is not working and I can check for solutions but this does nothing. Can anyone help? Here is the guide I was using http://www.emagi.co.uk/2007/10/29/windows-vista-and-the-eyet . . .
