ANY-maze USB camera driver

Only Windows administrators can install and uninstall drivers. You'll also need to be an ANY-maze administrator, unless your administrator has specified in the Administrative options that all users, not just administrators, can do this.

Introduction

ANY-maze is provided with drivers for the USB 2 and USB 3 cameras that are supplied by ANY-maze/Stoelting.

Note that these are not generic USB camera drivers, and shouldn't be used with USB cameras provided by other manufacturers; for those cameras, you should install the driver included with the camera.

Installing the ANY-maze USB camera drivers

By default, the ANY-maze USB camera drivers are installed together with the ANY-maze system, and you probably won't need to do anything in order to use an ANY-maze USB camera.

To confirm whether the drivers are installed on your computer, do the following:

Select the Support page.

Select the

Drivers option in the left-hand side-bar.

Look at the entries for ANY-maze USB 2 cameras and ANY-maze USB 3 cameras - in both cases the status should read 'Installed'.

Click here to open the Drivers settings now.

If either of the drivers are not installed, then you should simply select it in the drivers list and click the Install driver button in the ribbon bar.

Problems with other drivers for USB cameras

Windows itself is provided with a generic USB camera driver, which Windows will sometimes erroneously use with ANY-maze USB cameras.

If this driver is installed on your computer, you will see an entry for it in the drivers list with a status of 'Installed - recommended to uninstall'. You can uninstall the driver by simply selecting it in the list and clicking the Uninstall driver button in the ribbon bar. This shouldn't cause a problem with other USB cameras, as they generally come with their own drivers.
