  1. What do you mean ? You do not know all the models of all the webcams ever produced in the last 15 years ? Shame on you
  2. I agree. I can confirm that it is a 750k http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/dcbint/cpindex.pl?ctn=PCVC750K&scy=us&slg=en&mid=Link_Software The 740k is called ToUcam Pro and the 750k is called ToUcam Scan as it was sold with a mounting harm to scan documents, quite weird actually
  3. I ran into issues using my Phillips 750k Toucam on windows 7 and Sharpcap. After contacting Robin in the Sharpcap thread, he suggested that I update my 750k firmware to a SPC 900CN firmware. The benefit of doing that is that I can now run supported windows 7 drivers for my webcam and it solved all the issues I had in Sharpcap. Once the firmware is updated, the camera is no longer a 750k, it is a 900NC and uses the related drivers. So here is an 'how to' with the necessary files and links to do this. It is quite an easy process and should take 5 minutes to complete so do not be put off by the lenght of the procedure, it is all casual stuff. You will need: 900NC drivers WcRmac software 900NC Firmware spc900nc.txt Steps: (1) Install the existing 750k drivers and video capture software for the Toucam Pro. In my case I just installed the 750k drivers and Sharpcap but any other video capture software would work. *Note that I was unable to install the 750k driver on on Win7_x64 so I had to install on Win7_x32. To get around that, you could create a Windows7_x32 VM and, after flashing the firmware, download the appropriate 900NC drivers and install the webcam on your Win7_x64 machine as you would normally do. I have not tried that, so if someone could test and report if the drivers also work on x64, that would be great. (2) Install the WcRmac software. This software is needed to write the new firmware to the webcam. You should save the old 750k firmware (highly recommended) in case something goes horribly wrong. Both actions take less than 30 seconds (3) Rename the SPC900NC.txt to SPC900NC.bin and save it in [C:\Program Files\TWIRG\WcRmac\binary\8116\] (4) Connect your webcam to the USB port and launch the video capturing software (eg, Sharpcap) (5) Open a video capture window on your capture program. Video capture has to be running to start the upgrade (6) Launch the WcRmac application (7) In the WcRmac application, click on webcam on the menu bar and select DS Interface (8) Select the webcam you want to upgrade from the window and press the connect button (9) Click on the Binaries Tab in the main window (10) Create a backup of your webcam’s existing firmware by clicking on the 'Get current and Save as' button and entering a relevant filename (11) Tick the 'OK - I take full responsibility using this program' check box in the yellow section of the main window. (12) Select the SPC900NC.bin file in the Binaries window and click on the 'Load into cam' button. ====================================================================================================================== You should see the status bar at the bottom of the window indicating the load status. This takes about 20 – 30 seconds to complete. ====================================================================================================================== (13) Once complete, close WcRmac and disconnect your webcam (14) Install the SPC900NC drivers you got from step 1 and reboot your PC You should now have your 'new' SPC 900NC webcam recognised in Windows Clear skies
