Installation Instructions

Prerequisites: Download the required files from this repository.

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).
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.
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.
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.

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

Open Device Manager: Right-click the Start button -> Device Manager.
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).
Uninstall: Right-click the device -> Uninstall device.
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.
Restart: Reboot your PC.

Method 3: Via Command Prompt (Advanced)

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

Open Admin Command Prompt: Search cmd, right-click Command Prompt -> Run as administrator.
List Drivers: Execute pnputil /enum-drivers.
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).
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.
Restart: Reboot your PC.
