When connected to a Windows host, oCam can appear as one of the following three on device manager;
- Normal device under camera(for Windows 10) or imaging devices(for Windows 7). This means that oCam firmware is installed and working fine as an UVC camera.
- "Cypress FX3 USB BootLoader Device" under "Universal Serial Bus controllers". This means that oCam firmware is erased but Windows FX3 USB driver is installed and working so that you can download a firmware to oCam.
- "WestBridge" under "Other devices". This means that neither oCam firmware nor Windows FX3 USB driver is installed.

We would recommend the following procedure to check and re-install the Windows FX3 USB driver for downloading or updating the oCam firmware;

5. Disconnect the oCam and reconnect it to check if the FX3 USB driver is installed.
