USB
You can connect the camera to any USB port on your computer. You do not have to switch off the
computer. USB ports are 'hot-swappable', which means that you do not have to restart Windows
every time you connect a new USB device. The USB driver will detect the camera as new
hardware. It can be used within a few seconds without the need to restart the computer.
If you unplug the camera while it is actively providing an audio or video stream to an application
on your computer, the computer may crash. To avoid problems, first close all applications that
use audio from the camera microphone or video from the camera before unplugging your Philips
USB PC Camera.
