Hi

I have Quick cam Orbit MP ( MN V-UAY22; USB/VID-046D&PID_08CC\480F46A2 ; OC- XP ; ver 11.1 )

I want to use this camera like security camera.

Can I turn off the red LED in front the webcam ?

If the feature buttons exist in your QuickCam Preferences... then yes.






Thanks.

Thanks from answer.

To be able to turn off red LED, it’s depend of software or hardware in this case?

To be honest...this is a brand new feature...so I can't tell you anything more about it.

Please contact Logitech Support directly for further information.

Thanks.

I don't know if this works with MP but you can turn off the red light on AF. Just go to registry, search for LVUVC_LEDControl, change the value from 8 to 0 then unplug your camera and plug it back in.

If you want to turn it back on change it to 8 again.

Welcome to the Logitech Community Webcam Forum iagree!



For QuickCam versions 11.5.0.1169 thru 11.9.0.1263, LVUVC_LEDControl is located in the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{6BDD1FC6-810F-11D0-BEC7-08002BE2092F}\0000\Settings

Note - If more than one camera is installed, you will have a "folder" for each device (i.e., 0000, 0001, 0002, etc...).


It has a default Data Value of REG_DWORD = 0x00000005 (5).


Based on your comments, I will assume that the following information is true:

0x00000000 (0) = LED Off
0x00000008 (8) = LED On


Please note that only *certain* cameras support this feature, so the mere addition of this key will not cause the LED Control buttons to appear in the QuickCam® Advanced Settings.


Cameras that officially support the LED Control feature

• QuickCam® Pro 9000
• QuickCam® Pro for Notebooks

Cameras that unofficially support the LED Control feature

• QuickCam® Orbit AF
• QuickCam® UltraVision/UltraVision SE (Note - LED Off only)

Please note that this information is being provided for discussion purposes only, and that this modification is not supported by Logitech.




Thanks.


Edit - Corrected typo in the registry key location.
Edit - Updated Data Value entry list.
Edit - Added officially supported camera list.
Edit - Revised supported software version list.
Edit - Added and updated unofficially supported camera list.

Fantastic!!  It was bugging me I couldn't get my LED out, even when the tutorial showed the controls. Tech support had no suggestions. Following your advice i was able to add the key you specified and it worked!

Thanks!!!!!

For reference, what is the 8xxxxx (or 860-xxxxxx) series number from the camera tag (FAQ #3427), or preferably...the USB\VID ID?

Which version of the Logitech supplied QuickCam software application/drivers is installed (FAQ #5105)?

Do the LED Control feature buttons currently exist in your QuickCam Preferences (Advanced Settings)?


Thanks.

860-000110

v11.80.1065.0000

Control buttons do not appear in advanced settings.

I tested it and the values of 0 and 8 do turn it on and off respectively.  But as I mentioned, I had to add the key as it was not in the registry.

Thanks again!
