iPi Recorder is a tool for recording video from web cameras and depth sensors. Download the setup package of iPi Recorder latest version: http://ipisoft.com/downloads/iPiRecorderSetup.exe. Run it. In the following dialog window make sure that

  • item “PrimeSensor Driver (psdrv3) Registration for MS Kinect Sensor” is selected if you plan to work with Kinect
  • item “WinUSB Driver Registration for PS3 Eye Camera” is selected if you plan to work with Sony PS Eye cameras

Note that if you do not plan to use Sony PlayStation Eye cameras or Kinect then you can deselect the appropriate item in the list.


Also note that the latest version of iPi Recorder is compatible with Microsoft Kinect for Windows SDK. Thus if you have it installed then there is no need in “PrimeSensor Driver (psdrv3) Registration for MS Kinect Sensor”.

Click “Install” button to start the installation process. You’ll be asked about drivers installation:
