Option 2: Update drivers manually - Find the correct driver for your Camera and operating system, then install it by following the step by step instructions below. You'll need some computer skills to use this method.
The built-in Microsoft Windows Update service may not update your drivers properly. Instead, use The Camera Driver Update Utility for Ricoh. It is intelligent software that automatically recognizes your computer's operating system and camera manufacturer and model to find the most up-to-date drivers for it. There is no risk of installing the wrong driver. The Camera Driver Update Utility downloads and installs your drivers quickly and easily.
You can scan for driver updates automatically and install them manually with the free version of the Ricoh Camera Driver Update Utility, or complete all necessary driver updates automatically using the premium version.
Click the Update button next to your driver. The correct version will be downloaded and installed automatically. Or, you can click the Update All button at the bottom to automatically download and install the correct version of all the drivers that are missing or out-of-date on your system.
To find the latest driver, including Windows 11 drivers, choose from our list of most popular Ricoh Camera downloads or search our driver archive for the driver that fits your specific Ricoh camera model and your PC's operating system.
After downloading your driver update, you will need to install it. Driver updates come in a variety of file formats with different file extensions. For example, you may have downloaded an EXE, INF, ZIP, or SYS file. Each file type has a slightly different installation procedure to follow. Visit our Driver Support Page to watch helpful step-by-step videos on how to install drivers based on their file extension.

Driver r5u870 requires a kernel module and supports WDM chipsets. Driver r5u87x does not requires a kernel module but does not supportWDM chipsets. Until now this page is dedicated to the r5u870 driver only.
To build/install this driver, you must have a set of configuration andinterface headers, or the complete build directory, for your running kernel,or the target kernel for which the driver is to be built. This shouldinclude most files in the include/linux directory, and specificallyinclude/linux/autoconf.h and include/linux/version.h.
Because the Ricoh webcam is a kernel module, it is compiled for a specifickernel version for the kernels prior to 2.6.24 and by DKMS for the kernels since 2.6.26. The following table describes the available drivers.
Original version 0.11.1 of r5u870 up to 2.6.24 kernels: (broken down http server) (broken down svn server)
Source code of the r5u870 version 0.11.3, a patched 0.11.1 version for 2.6.26 kernels and higher:
Source code of the r5u870 version 0.11.4, a patched 0.11.1 version for 2.6.30 kernels and higher: -en.html
r5u87x driver for non-WDM webcams:
Ubuntu Howto in French.
[1]WDM: the Windows Driver Model is a framework for device drivers that was introduced with Windows 98 and Windows 2000 to replace VxD, which was used on older versions of Windows such as Windows 95 and Windows 3.1, as well as the Windows NT Driver Model.[2]UVC: The USB video device class is a USB device class that describes devices capable of streaming video like webcams, digital camcorders, transcoders, analog video converters, television tuners, and still-image cameras.In 2005 the USB video class specification carries the version number 1.1 and was defined by the USB Implementers Forum in a set of documents describing both the basic protocol and the different payload formats.
If you are streaming the THETA V or THETA Z1 over a USB cable, you must select a THETA V or THETA Z1 video device on your Mac computer when you use an encoding software such asOBS Studio. On Windows, you can stream directly using MPC-HC or download the THETA V/Z1 live streamingdriver. This setup will allow you to stream to YouTubeor Facebook.
You only need this software for USB live streaming with the RICOH R Dev Kit. If you are using HDMI or have aTHETA S, you can skip this section. Download thericoh-r-dk-uvc-captureapplication from GitHub.
Once you get the video stream onto your computer, it will be in dual-fisheye.Although I have not tested it, you can may be able to use THETA UVC FullHD Blender toget this into equirectangular. With the previous driver, this was definitely not possible.If you test it and get it to work, let me know.
As the THETA V uses UVC 1.5 with H.264, there have been no reported successesusing the Raspberry Pi. The THETA V can connect directly to the Internet with Wi-Fiand may be able to replace the function of the Raspberry Pi. The article,State of UVC 1.5 Support for Controlling H.264 has more informationon the Linux kernel problem. Community members have reported success using theLinux kernel on Android with additional drivers. The article above has a link toa possible solution on GitHub.
Live Streaming using Windows 10 now works great using MPC-HC and OBS with both the THETA V and THETA Z1. Please download the driver below to use live streaming effectively on the broadest range of software.
Hi Codetricity,I would love to also test the 4K Live Streaming with the Theta V.Could you send me the link for the driver(s) dor Win 10 and (if available for may MacOS?)Thank you so much in advance,Janosch
In the meantime, I think that the driver is still usable for 4K video if you use a microphone connected to your laptop and mix it with something like OBS. The video quality is good and stable in my tests so far. Still worthwhile to use the pre-release software in this setup in my opinion.
Ricoh sony vaio integrated webcam USB\VID drivers are required for the USB bus and USB connectivity hardware in the computer to operate correctly. A "driver" is the name given to the software interface that allows the operating system to communicate with the sony vaio integrated webcam hardware, it is the software "driver" that is in control of the USB hardware. If the usb webcam Universal Serial Bus device is not performing as expected then the driver is probably not installed or is broken. The list below consists of free downloads that are designed specifically to be used with the Ricoh sony vaio integrated webcam device.
We were unable to find drivers for your product. Try manually selecting your operating system. If your operating system is not listed then HP may not provide driver support for your product with that operating system.
Navigate via the CLI on your PC to the python examples ricoh_theta directory and review the requirements.txt document for this example before continuing. Several python packages will need to be installed along with the standard SDK:
For Developers: As an additional option, you can configure the ip settings by editing the __init__ function directly in ricoh_theta.py or when creating the Theta() object. These settings are featured below and have been tested on the CORE I/O.
This example takes two different IP addresses as arguments. The --host-ip argument describes the IP address for the computer that will be running the web cam image service. A helper exists to try to determine the correct IP address. This command must be run on the same computer that will be running the ricoh theta image service:
Lastly, a port number for the image service can be specified using the --port argument. It is possible to bypass the port argument and allow a random port number to be selected, but it is discouraged since restarts may result in unexpected changes to a service listening on the old port. This port number will be used with the host-ip (HOST_COMPUTER_IP) to fully specify where the image service is running. This port number must be open and cannot be blocked by a local firewall, otherwise the ricoh-theta image service will be unreachable from the robot and the directory registration service.
If you could not find the exact driver for your hardware device or you aren't sure which driver is right one, we have a program that will detect your hardware specifications and identify the correct driver for your needs. Please click here to download.
However, if you have problem with your gspca supported webcam, or you require a newer version of the driver for a device that has gained more recent support since the last driver release, you may obtain newer versions from the source code found at: the git repositories at LinuxTV (last version); the maintainer's homepage (test version). Explanatory information is found in the READ ME.
The r5u870' (a Ricoh webcam) requires a proprietary driver that is typically available from Do a search for 'r5u870' being certain to click on "Show Sub-Packages" in the results. Then look for a link entitled "Firmware" and for a link entitled kmp-yourkerneltype, follow the links, and please click on "Show unstable packages" to see the link(s) to the repository (or repsitories) providing the packages to install, together with links to rpm file for your architecture (32-bit or 64-bit). Please do this for both the pages linked. Then, for both those pages in the order, look for a link to an rpm entitled r5u870-kmp-yourkerneltype-_k_yourkernelversion.yourPCarchitecture.rpm and r5u870-firmware-.noarch.rpm (or just use the link to the One-Click Install provided in the same line). For example, if you have a 32-bit openSUSE-12.1 PC with the 3.1.10_1.16-1.4 desktop kernel, you probably would find and install: r5u870-kmp-desktop-0.3.2_k3.1.10_1.16-1.4.i586.rpm (together with r5u870-firmware-0.3.2-1.4.noarch.rpm), if using as installation source the home:enzokiel repo. Then restart your PC and try out your webcam. There is limited maintenance for this webcam's kernel module (driver) on google code. 2ff7e9595c
