Installation Instructions

Prerequisites: Download the required files from this repository.

1. Install Base Driver (if needed): If you haven't installed the PS4/PS5 camera driver before, run OV580 USB Camera updated.exe. If you have an older version installed, it's recommended to uninstall it first (see Uninstallation Instructions below).
2. Connect Camera: Plug in the PS5 HD Camera. Open Device Manager (right-click Start -> Device Manager). You should see USB BOOT listed under Universal Serial Bus devices.
3. Load Firmware: Ensure OrbisEyeCameraFirmwareLoader.exe is in the same directory as the desired firmware file (e.g., firmware.bin or firmware_fix.bin). Run OrbisEyeCameraFirmwareLoader.exe.
4. Verify Installation: Check Device Manager again. The camera should now appear under Cameras as USB Camera-OV580.

Setup Complete. The camera should now be usable in most webcam applications.

Important: You must repeat Step 3 (running OrbisEyeCameraFirmwareLoader.exe) every time you disconnect and reconnect the camera to your PC, or after restarting your computer.

Uninstallation Instructions (Windows 10/11)

If you need to remove the driver completely, follow these methods. Administrator privileges are typically required.

Method 1: Via Apps & Features (Recommended First Step)

This works if the driver registered an uninstaller.

1. Open Settings: Press Win + I (or right-click Start -> Settings).
2. Navigate to Apps:
   • Windows 10: Go to Apps -> Apps & features.
   • Windows 11: Go to Apps -> Installed apps.
3. Search: Use the search bar to look for terms like PS4 Camera, PS5 Camera, OV580, USB Boot, or the specific driver name.
4. Uninstall: If found, click the item (or its ... menu) and select Uninstall. Follow prompts.
5. Restart: Reboot your PC to complete the removal.

If the driver isn't listed here, proceed to Method 2.

Method 2: Via Device Manager

This method removes the driver directly from the hardware level.

1. Open Device Manager: Right-click the Start button -> Device Manager.
2. Locate Device: Find the camera under Cameras, Imaging devices, Sound, video and game controllers, or Universal Serial Bus devices (it might be listed as USB Camera-OV580, PS4/PS5 Camera, or USB BOOT if firmware isn't loaded).
3. Uninstall: Right-click the device -> Uninstall device.
4. Delete Driver Software: Crucially, in the confirmation dialog, check the box:
   • Delete the driver software for this device. (Windows 10)
   • Attempt to remove the driver software for this device. (Windows 11)
   • Then click Uninstall.
5. Restart: Reboot your PC.

Method 3: Via Command Prompt (Advanced)

Use this command-line tool for forceful driver package removal.

1. Open Admin Command Prompt: Search cmd, right-click Command Prompt -> Run as administrator.
2. List Drivers: Execute pnputil /enum-drivers.
3. Identify Driver: Carefully review the output. Look for entries related to the camera (check "Provider Name", "Original Name" for keywords like OV580, Sony, etc.). Note the Published Name (e.g., oemXX.inf).
4. Delete Driver: Execute the following, replacing oemXX.inf with the actual name found:

   pnputil /delete-driver oemXX.inf /uninstall /force

   Warning: Ensure you have the correct oemXX.inf file. Deleting the wrong driver can cause system instability.

5. Restart: Reboot your PC.
