Improvements and fixes. This update includes a fix for an incorrect device driver (“Microsoft – WPD – 2/22/2016 12:00:00 AM - 5.2.5326.4762”) that was released by a third-party on March 8, 2017 that affected a small group of users with USB connected phones or other media devices that rely on Media Transfer Protocol (MTP).

  1. The issue occurs when your EndPoints are capped. A USB 3.0 controller has a limited number of EndPoints, just 96 on Intel and older AMD based systems. So if you have a lot of USB devices plugged into your USB 3.0 ports, you’re going to run into this issue. The USB controller is the chip used to communicate data between your USB ports and your PC.
  2. Drivers Usb free download - Drivers For Free, CopyTrans Drivers Installer, Adaptec ASPI Drivers, and many more programs.
  3. Thanks to the great folks over at Aceeca.com (makers of NEW PalmOS Garnet devices), USB drivers for 64bit Vista, Windows 7, and Win 8 operating systems are available. There are many users reporting Palm Desktop 4.x is also working.

First, start the PC client. You’ll find a shortcut to DroidCam Client under Start Menu and on your Desktop.

If there is a separate admin account on the system, these shortcuts will be created on that users Desktop/Start Menu during installation.

Connect via WiFi


1. Turn on WiFi on your phone and connect to your home network as you normally would.

2. Start the phone app. The app will show Wifi IP & Port information.
If the IP is all zeros (0.0.0.0) – you are not properly connected to a WiFi network.

3. On the PC client, make sure the connection method is “WiFi/LAN”. Enter the IP and Port as displayed on the phone. Click [start].

4. The phone app should start showing the camera output. The PC client should start updating the “webcam” output, you can check in Skype/Zoom/etc. Find ‘video input’ settings in the options/preferences of these programs.

If the connection fails, try:
– Closing and re-opening the app
– Toggling the Wifi on phone and/or laptop
– Restarting your Wifi router (unplug from power, wait a few seconds, and plug it back in)
– Changing the connection port number in the app & client (eg. 4748 …)

Connect via USB (Android)

For USB connections, you need to: a. enable USB Debugging on the phone, b. install drivers for your phone on the computer.

1. First, make sure “USB Debugging” is enabled on your phone. Its located in the phones Settings, under Developer Options.

On most phones the Developer Options screen is hidden by default. To unlock it, open the phones Settings, go to About Phone and search for Build number. Tap Build Number seven times to unlock Developer options.

If you’re having trouble, try the instruction here: https://www.howtogeek.com/129728/how-to-access-the-developer-options-menu-and-enable-usb-debugging-on-android-4.2/

Once unlocked, search for USB Debugging and turn it On.

2. With “USB Debugging” turned on, connect your device to the computer via USB.

In the DroidCam PC client, pick the USB connection option and click the refresh button. The client will try to detect connected devices. If the client detects your phone, you’ll likely get a dialog on the phone asking Allow USB Debugging, you need to tap OK. You can also skip the next step.

3. If the device is not detected, you need to install drivers for it as an additional step.

If you have a Google Nexus/Pixel, or a OnePlus, get the Google USB drivers:
https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb.

Samsung USB drivers:
https://developer.samsung.com/mobile/android-usb-driver.html

LG Mobile Drivers:
https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-mobile-drivers-and-software-CT10000027-20150179827560.

For other brands, this page provides links to most manufacturers websites: http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html#Drivers.

You can also do a web search, ADB Drivers for ____.
Eg: ADB Drivers for HTC.

After the drivers are installed, re-connect the device to the computer and try again to refresh the USB list on the DroidCam PC Client. On the phone you may get a dialog asking Allow USB Debugging, you need to tap OK.

4. Once the client detects the phone, click Start to establish a connection just like you would over WiFi.

If you get “connection reset”, “connect lost”, “error receiving video headers” errors:
(1) On the phone, make sure the DroidCam app is open and ready.
(2) On the phone, pull down the notification area and open “USB Options”. Try picking the ‘PTP’ (Picture Transfer), or ‘Camera’, or just ‘Charging’ mode.

If the connection is still failing, try
(1) If you skipped the driver installation step above, try installing the drivers for your phone manually. Sometimes Windows auto-installs incorrect ones.
(2) Try changing the ‘DroidCam Port’ setting in the app, and on the client. Use, for example, 4848, 5050, 5151, etc.
(3) Try this alternate USB setup tool. The tool will detect and setup local port forwarding against all connected devices. If it works, you can replace the adb folder under Program Files x86 > DroidCam with the one in this download.

Connect via USB (iOS)

USB connections for the iOS app require iTunes to be installed and that it detects your iDevice when you plug it in.

Click the refresh button on the DroidCam Client ‘USB’ tab and any available iOS devices will be listed as a string of random characters, this is the unique ID of the device. Click Start to establish a connection just like you would over WiFi.

Notes:
– Make sure you have at least v6.2.3 of the Windows client which includes iOS support.

– The Windows Store version of iTunes may not have the necessary components for this to work. If you have the Windows Store version of iTunes and the DroidCam client is not detecting any devices, try re-installing iTunes manually by following the “Windows” link, or see this help article by Apple.

Connect with internet browsers (Android)


Drivers aceeca usb devices windows 10
To use the “IP Cam” feature you normally don’t need to install any extra software on the computer.

1. Turn on WiFi on your phone and connect to a WiFi network as you normally would.

2. The app will show Wifi network name, and IP & Port information. If the IP is all zeros (0.0.0.0) – you are not properly connected to a network.

3. Open your internet browser (Firefox, Chrome, etc), and enter http://ip:port into the address bar (replace these with the actual ip and port values from the app). This should open a web page with the camera feed embedded inside.

Tip: Use an MJPEG viewer app or program to access the raw feed via http://ip:port/video (eg. on a Tablet, another smartphone, or a media player such as VLC). You can also specify resolution in the URL, and use the word “force” if you’d like to override any existing connections: http://ip:port/video.force?1280×720.
This can be handy is you want to connect many devices to eg. OBS Studio. If you’d like to connect over USB using the http method, use this USB setup tool which will create local port mappings to all connected phones via adb and the special 127.0.0.1 IP address.

WiFi Hotspots, USB Tethering, USB-C Ethernet

Both USB Tethering and WiFi Hotspot connections with your phone can work with DroidCam. Some phones also work with USB-C to Ethernet wired connections.

On Android, you’ll need to find the IP address of the phone and enter that into the WiFi tab of the DroidCam client.
The easiest way is to open the phones Settings, scroll down to “System” or “About”, and look for the ‘Network’ section.

On iOS, for USB Tethering you can use standard USB connection option in the DroidCam client (see above).

For WiFi hotspots, try these standard IPs 172.20.10.1, 10.0.0.1, 192.168.0.1. Alternatively, on your PC open the Start menu and launch the Command Prompt program. Enter ipconfig command, and look for ‘router’ or ‘gateway’ address, and use that as the phone IP.

WiFi Server Mode (DroidCamX only)

Instead of connecting to the phone app from the PC client, DroidCamX can connect to PC client(s) from the phone.

1. Use the “WiFi Server” option on the PC client. Click [Start] to wait for a connection.

3. Open DroidCamX on your phone, use the options menu (⋮) and choose “Connect to Server”. You will need the computers local IP address (usually 192.168…) – look in your network settings or open a Command Prompt and type in ipconfig.

You can use Android Debug Bridge (ADB) to connect your Fire tablet to your computer for testing and debugging. You connect your computer to your Fire tablet through a micro-USB cable.

Android Debug Bridge (ADB) is a command-line utility for running and managing Android apps on your device or emulator. For more information and instructions on using ADB, see Android Debug Bridge.

If you're looking for instructions on connecting to a Fire TV instead, see Connect to Fire TV Through ADB.

  • Check for Device Connections Using ADB (Optional)
  • Troubleshooting

Step 1: Enable Developer Options

  1. Go to Settings > Device Options and look for a Developer Options menu. If it's not there, do the following:

    a. Go to Settings > Device Options > About Fire Tablet.b. Tap your Serial Number seven times.c. Return to Device Options. A new menu appears called 'Developer Options.'

  2. Tap Developer options. (2013 models might call this option 'Security.')
  3. Set Developer options and USB debugging to ON.
  • If you have a Kindle Fire 1st Generation, ADB is enabled by default.

Step 2: Install the Kindle Fire Driver (Windows Only)

  1. If you're using Windows, download this Kindle Fire driver: kindle_fire_usb_driver.zip.
  2. After downloading the file, extract the contents into a new folder and double-click the Fire_Devices ABD drivers file.
  3. Proceed through the installation wizard screens to install the driver.

Step 3: Install Android Studio

ADB is available on your computer when you install Android Studio. If you don't already have Android Studio, download and install Android Studio. If you're not using Android Studio, you need to download and install Android SDK platform tools.

Step 4: Connect Your Fire Device to Your Computer with a USB Cable

  1. Using a USB cable, connect your Fire tablet to a USB port on your computer.

    Note that Fire tablets can treat the USB with different transfer options. After connecting the USB cable, swipe down from the top of your tablet to see the USB option used. You might see various notifications, including the USB connection type that was used when you connected the cable. The relevant notification is highlighted in the screenshot below.

    If you don't see 'Connected as Media Device', press Tap for other USB options. Then select Media device (MTP). Later Fire OS versions have a different interface here. If you're using Fire OS 7, select File Transfer.

    Note: If your USB is connected as a Camera (PTP), Android Studio won't recognize the tablet as a device in Android Studio.

    If you don't see the USB connection type in the above notifications, go to Settings > Device Options > Developer Options > USB computer connection. Set this to Media device (MTP). For Fire OS 7, select File Transfer.

  2. When the Allow USB debugging? dialog appears on your tablet, tap OK.

  3. Open Android Studio and look for the device to appear in devices drop-down menu:

    The device's name will use the android.os.Build.MODEL property for the device. KFSUWI refers to Fire HD 10 (2017) tablet. You can see a list of build model names in the Identifying Fire Tablet Devices.

    If you have not selected the 'Allow USB Debugging' dialog on your tablet, the name 'Unknown device' will appear in the devices drop-down menu in Android Studio until you allow debugging.

  4. With the tablet connected, you can now run your app on your tablet by clicking the Run App button in Android Studio.

If you run into issues, see the Troubleshooting section below.

Check for Device Connections Using ADB (Optional)

Instead of looking in the devices menu in Android Studio, you can also use some ADB terminal commands to confirm that your device is connected. ADB is useful for performing many other operations as well, such as entering sandbox mode or installing other assets. Follow these two sections:

If you skip adding ADB to your PATH, you can also Check for Connected Devices If ADB Isn't In Your PATH.

Add ADB to Your PATH

First, add ADB to your PATH so you can more easily run ADB commands. (Your PATH is an environment variable used to specify the location of the program's executable. If you don't add ADB to your PATH, running ADB commands will require you to browse to the <Android SDK>/platform-tools directory to run adb.)

Tip: You can check whether ADB is already added to your PATH by typing adb version from a terminal or command prompt. If you get back version information, then ADB is in your PATH. If the response says adb is an unrecognized command, ADB is not in your PATH.

To add ADB to your PATH on Mac:

  1. Get the path to your Android SDK platform-tools directory:

    1. Open Android Studio and click the SDK Manager button .The location to your Android SDK appears near the top next to Android SDK Location. For example: /Users/<your username>/Library/Android/sdk

      If this is your first time opening Android Studio, there isn't an SDK Manager button. Instead, at the Welcome to Android Studio prompt, click Configure > SDK Manager and provide the location to the Android SDK.

    2. Copy the path to the SDK and paste it somewhere convenient, such as a text editor.
    3. Add /platform-tools to the end of the path you copied in the previous step. ('platform-tools' is the directory containing the ADB executable.)
    4. Copy the full path to your clipboard.
  2. Use the following command to add ADB to your .bash_profile. Replace <your username> with your actual username. Also, make sure the path points to your Android SDK.

    Your .bash_profile file is usually in your user directory, which you can find by typing cd ~ (change to your user directory). Then type ls -a (list all) to show all files, including hidden ones.

    If the file isn't there, simply create one. You can then type open .bash_profile to see the paths listed.

    After you add this PATH to your bash profile, you should see the following in your .bash_profile file:

    (Only instead of johndoe, you will see your own username.)

  3. Fully restart any terminal sessions, and then type adb. If you successfully added ADB to your path, you will see ADB help info rather than 'command not found.'

To add ADB to your PATH on Windows:

  1. Get the path to your Android SDK platform-tools directory:

    1. Open Android Studio and click the SDK Manager button .

      The location to your Android SDK appears near the top next to Android SDK Location. For example: C:Users<your user name>AppDataLocalAndroidSdk

      If this is your first time opening Android Studio, there isn't an SDK Manager button. Instead, at the Welcome to Android Studio prompt, click Configure > SDK Manager and provide the location to the Android SDK.

    2. Copy the path to the SDK and paste it somewhere convenient, such as a text editor.
    3. Add /platform-tools to the end of the path you copied in the previous step. ('platform-tools' is the directory containing the ADB executable.)
    4. Copy the full path to your clipboard.
  2. Click your computer's search button (next to Start) and type view advanced system settings.
  3. Click View advanced system settings.
  4. When the System Settings dialog opens, click the Environment Variables button.
  5. Under System Variables (the lower pane), select Path and click Edit.
  6. Do one of the following:

    • On Windows 7 or 8, move your cursor to the farthest position on the right, type ; and then press Ctrl+V to insert the path to your SDK that you copied earlier. It may look like this: ;C:Users<your user name>AppDataLocalAndroidSdkplatform-tools. Click OK on each of the three open dialog boxes to close them.
    • On Windows 10, click the New button and add this location.
  7. Restart any terminal sessions, and then type adb. If you successfully added ADB to your path, you will see ADB help info rather than 'command not found.'

Check for Connected Devices

  1. Assuming ADB is added to your PATH, run the following commands:

  2. Confirm that the serial number for your Fire tablet appears in the list of devices. For example:

    On your tablet, your device's serial number is located under Settings > Device Options.

Check for Connected Devices If ADB Isn't In Your PATH

Drivers Aceeca Usb Devices Mac

If your terminal doesn't recognize adb as a command (that is, you didn't add ADB to your PATH), you might have to run the commands from the SDK directory that contains ADB.

  1. In Android Studio go to Tools > SDK Manager.
  2. In the SDK Manager dialog box, copy the Android SDK Location.
  3. Browse to this location in your terminal or command prompt. For example:

    Mac

    Windows

    Then go into the platform-tools directory:

    The platform-tools directory contains adb.

  4. Now run the ADB commands as follows:

    Mac:

    Windows:

    The response should list your device's serial number. For example:

    If your Fire tablet is still not detected, you may need to reboot your computer or log out and back in for the changes to take effect.

Troubleshooting

Tablet doesn't appear in list of devices in Android Studio

  1. If you don't see your tablet device in the list of devices in Android Studio, click the devices drop-down menu and select Troubleshoot device connections:

  2. Click Rescan devices.

    If rescanning devices doesn't detect your Fire tablet as a device, your micro-USB cable might be bad, you might have the wrong USB connection type (e.g, camera instead of media device), or you might not have enabled USB debugging. You can also try restarting your computer and the tablet.

Uninstall the non-ADB Driver (Windows)

If you previously connected a Fire tablet without first enabling ADB on the Fire tablet, you might need to remove the existing USB device driver and force re-installation of the driver. To remove the non-ADB driver:

  1. Using a micro-USB cable, connect your Fire tablet to a USB port on your computer.
  2. On your computer (Windows 10), click the search button (next to the Start menu) and type Device Manager in the search. Then select it in the results. (Other Windows versions have different options for accessing the Control Panel.)
  3. In the Device Manager window, expand Portable Devices.
  4. Right-click the Fire device and then click Properties.
  5. In the Properties window, on the Driver tab, click Uninstall, and then Confirm.
  6. Unplug your Fire tablet from your computer.

Confirm the Fire Driver Is Installed Correctly

Drivers Aceeca Usb Devices Windows 7

You can confirm that the Fire driver is installed correctly by doing the following:

  1. On your computer, click the search button search button (next to the Start menu) and type Device Manager.
  2. In Device Manager, under Fire Devices, verify that that a device appears called Android Composite ADB Interface.

    If your Device Manager shows an Other Devices section with a second Fire device with a yellow alert sign, your computer is listing Amazon's unrecognized ADB module as a separate device. To fix this issue:

    1. Under Other Devices, right-click the Fire device and select Properties.
    2. On the Driver tab of the Properties window, select Update Driver…
    3. Choose to browse for the driver software, then navigate to Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer > Show All Devices > Have Disk.
    4. Navigate to the folder where you installed the Amazon driver (typically C:Program Files (x86)Amazon.comFire_DevicesDrivers) and select it.
    5. Ignore the warning regarding installing drivers and proceed.

      You should now correctly see your Fire tablet with the ADB driver installed.
