Sony Motion Eye Camera Drivers for Windows

Use the firmware and/or drivers update advice on this page at your own risk; we are not responsible for any damage or malfunction to your hardware resulting from following our recommendations.

In 2014, one of the most successful laptop and PC manufacturers Sony VAIO sold all its shares to VAIO. Therefore, due to the VAIO purchasing the Sony Corporation in 2014, it’s become significantly harder to find the latest Sony MOTION Eye camera drivers. 

From 2008 to 2023, the Sony/VAIO Motion Eye camera has become a standard, built-in feature in numerous Sony VAIO personal computer systems. Despite the discontinuation of the Sony VAIO laptop series, users of modern VAIO devices require a compatible driver to enable the functionality of their built-in webcam.

How to Update Sony Motion Eye Camera Drivers?

You can find the latest drivers for the Sony Motion Eye Camera (or the VAIO camera) at the bottom of our page. Simply complete the captcha and press the Download button. Once the download is complete, unzip the folder and press either DPInst32 or DPInst64, depending on which OS version you have. When the update is finished, restart the device. 

This driver is compatible with Windows 10(32 & 64bit), Windows 8.1(32 & 64bit), Windows 7(32 & 64bit), Windows Vista(32 & 64bit), and Windows XP.  

Unfortunately, there is still no simple way to do the same on a Linux operating system. VAIO products are generally not sold with the integrated Linux system, so the support for this OS is small. 

My Sony Motion Eye Camera is Not Working after the Update

One of the processes that can alter your camera settings without your knowledge is the Windows update. If you recently downloaded the new update for your OS, you may need to open the Camera settings manually. Open the settings by pressing Win+I and then type Camera into the search bar.

Check if the Camera access is on. If it is on, and the camera is still not working despite installing the new drivers, try running a hardware troubleshooter. To run the troubleshooter, open the Command Prompt and type in msdt.exe -id DeviceDiagnostic and press enter. This will trigger another pop-up for the hardware troubleshooting. Press Next and the troubleshooter will locate and repair the issues itself.
