Question

I can't install ps3 eye camera drivers for win 10 camera works but computer don't recognized

Answer 1

Hi, I'm Mite and here to help.

The PS3 Eye Camera is not a standard PC device, and it is not a regular plug-and-play USB webcam. Because of that, when you connect it to a Windows 10 computer, the system may not recognize it automatically, or it may only appear as an unknown device.

You may need to look for a suitable third-party PS3 Eye driver for Windows 10. Please note that these drivers are not officially provided by Microsoft or Sony, so compatibility and safety may vary. I recommend downloading only from a trusted source and creating a system restore point before installing.

If you have already found a driver but it fails to install, please provide the full error message or error code shown during installation, so we can check further.

On Windows 10, if the PS3 Eye camera works but is not properly recognized or usable, the issue is typically with the driver.

Follow these steps to address it using only supported Windows driver methods:

1. Check that Windows detects the device
   1. In Search on the taskbar, type device manager, then open Device Manager.
   2. Look under Cameras, Imaging devices, or Sound, video and game controllers for an entry that could be the PS3 Eye.
   3. If nothing appears there, select the Action menu and choose Scan for hardware changes, then wait for Windows to detect and install a driver.
2. Update the driver via Device Manager
   1. In Device Manager, locate the camera (under Cameras, Imaging devices, or Sound, video and game controllers).
   2. Right‑click the device and select Update driver.
   3. Select Search automatically for drivers so Windows Update can search online and install any available driver.
   4. Restart the PC after the update completes and test the camera again.
3. Check for Windows Update and optional driver updates
   1. Select Start > Settings > Windows Update > Check for updates.
   2. After normal updates install, go to Advanced options > Optional updates and look for any camera or USB driver updates.
   3. Install available updates and restart the PC.
4. If the camera still is not recognized
   1. In Device Manager, if the camera shows with a warning icon, right‑click it and select Properties.
   2. On the Driver tab:
      • If Roll Back Driver is available and the camera stopped working after an update, select Roll Back Driver, confirm, then restart and test.
      • If the device does not work at all, choose Uninstall device, confirm, then in Device Manager select Action > Scan for hardware changes to let Windows reinstall the driver automatically, and restart.
   3. If the device is very old and was designed for pre‑Windows 7 systems, it may not be compatible with Windows 10. In Properties > Driver > Driver Details, if a file including stream.sys appears, the camera is considered too old and should be replaced with a newer, Windows‑compatible camera.
5. If the camera is detected but apps cannot use it
   1. Open Start > Camera and verify whether the preview works.
   2. If the Camera app works but other apps do not, adjust the app’s camera settings or Windows privacy settings for that app.

If none of these steps resolve the issue and the device relies on very old or non‑standard drivers, replacing it with a camera that has official Windows 10 support is the reliable option.
