Whether to install a driver for the USB camera module depends on the compatibility of the camera and the operating system. Here’s a closer look at the problem:
初め, no-drive USB camera
Features: no-drive USB camera refers to those cameras that are supported by the system’s own driver, and can be used directly without additional driver installation.
応用: This type of camera is usually suitable for mainstream operating systems, such as Windows, macOS, 等, and these operating systems will come with some common hardware drivers.
手術: After plugging the drive-free USB camera into the USB port of the computer, the system automatically identifies and loads the required drivers without the need for additional installation steps by the user.
Second, need to drive USB camera
Features: USB cameras that need to be driven refer to those that need to install a specific driver to work properly.
応用: This type of camera may be different due to brand, model or special features, and require specialized drivers to support. In addition, in some cases where the operating system version is older or does not support the camera, it is also necessary to install the driver manually.

These software will automatically scan the computer hardware and match the corresponding drivers, and users only need to follow the prompts to install.
Third, precautions
Operating system compatibility: Before installing the camera driver, make sure the operating system is compatible with the camera. Different operating systems may require different driver versions.
Driver source: It is recommended to download the driver from the official website of the camera manufacturer or other reliable sources to ensure the security and stability of the driver.
Driver updates: As operating systems are updated and camera technology continues to evolve, drivers may also need to be updated regularly to maintain optimal performance and compatibility.
総括する, whether the USB camera module needs to install a driver depends on the compatibility of the camera itself and the operating system. For the no-drive USB camera, users do not need to install additional drivers to use; For the USB camera that needs to be driven, you need to install the corresponding driver according to the above steps in order to work normally.
