Verify device compatibility:
Make sure the USB camera module is compatible with the operating system of your computer or other device.
Check whether the device supports the required performance parameters such as resolution and frame rate.
Preparing the installation tools:
USB cable (usually supplied with the camera module).
If necessary, you may also need tools such as screwdrivers and mounting brackets.
Second, hardware installation
Connect USB cable:
Insert one end of the USB cable into the USB port on the camera module.
Plug the other end into a USB port on your computer or other device.

Depending on the design of the camera module, use brackets or screws to hold it in place.
Ensure that the camera module is stable and does not shake to ensure the quality of the shooting.
Third, software installation and configuration
To install the driver:
In most cases, the operating system will automatically identify and install the drivers required for the camera module.
If the system does not install automatically, you can download and install the driver from the official website of the manufacturer of the camera module.
Configure camera Settings:

Select the camera module as the video input device in the software.
View live screen:
View the real-time picture of the camera in the software to ensure that the picture is clear and smooth.
If the picture is not clear or there are other issues, you can try adjusting the camera Settings or updating the driver.
Fifth, precautions
Ensure adequate power supply:
If the camera module requires an external power supply, ensure that the power supply is properly connected and sufficient.
Avoid distractions:
Try to avoid placing the camera module in an environment with strong magnetic field or strong electromagnetic interference, so as not to affect the shooting quality.
Respect for privacy:
When installing and using the camera module, please ensure that you comply with relevant laws, regulations and ethics, and respect the privacy rights of others.
