Download: CE 6.0 USB Camera Driver

  • Article

We've just released a CE 6.0 USB Camera Driver (download page here) - CE 6.0 introduces a new camera driver model that mirrors the capabilities of the existing Windows Mobile camera driver model - on CE 5.0 we didn't expose a camera driver model, this meant that camera driver developers would need to expose their own specific interfaces, perhaps using IOCTLs to expose functionality - this meant that applications would need to know the specifics of the underlying camera driver model to interface with the camera.

The new CE 6.0 camera driver model plugs into DShow - this means that applications don't need to know the specifics of the underlying camera, and will talk to DShow instead.

The driver gets installed here - %_WINCEROOT%\public\ThirdParty\Catalog\USBCam
