DMC2161 Installation instructions on Microsoft Windows Vista Operating System

Lorex mCam software version 2.0.1 and above is compatible with Microsoft Windows Vista™ Operating System.

The Video Driver for DMC2161 has been upgraded to work on Windows Vista and a dedicated driver directory “DVS Driver for Vista” is included on your installation CD and posted to the Lorex website (www.lorexcctv.com/support).

While Lorex is continuing its efforts to upgrade the audio driver of the DMC2161 camera to work in a Windows Vista environment, mCam software does support audio using any external audio device (e.g. microphone) that is compatible with Windows Vista. Please note that both video and audio are fully supported in Windows XP.

If during your installation on a Microsoft Windows Vista Operating System you get a message that your driver was not successfully installed

Please follow the steps below to complete the installation:

1. Open the Device Manager: • Click Start / Settings / Control Panel / Device Manager • Click the ‘Continue’ Button on the ‘Microsoft Management Console’ window to continue.
