First run of the application

  1. Download application's file with the .exe extension - https://github.com/SuslikV/cfg-cam/releases (or unpack the .7z archive with the 7-zip archiver)
  2. Place WebCameraConfig.exe file to any new empty folder you have access to. For example make the: C:\My programs\WebCameraConfig folder.

Now you can use cmd line to enter commands manually, but better to prepare few .cmd files to run them by double-click or just Enter button any time later.

Prepare command files

Here we going to prepare few command files:

  1. Open Notepad application of Windows (or use notepad++, its minimalist version is enough for your needs) and write next command to it:

"C:\My programs\WebCameraConfig\WebCameraConfig.exe" --savedev

where the path in double quotes "" is path to the cfg-cam application from p.2. and --savedev is actually the command.

  1. Choose file menu option Save as... of the editor to save this newly created command file. In the folders tree of the save file dialog select the folder where you placed the WebCameraConfig.exe file from p.2 (the file will be shown on the list). In the File name field type:

save all devices settings.cmd

overwrite any .txt extensions - you need to save .cmd file. And click Save button to save the changes. Now you have two files:

save all devices settings.cmd
WebCameraConfig.exe

at the same folder.

Saving web-camera device settings

  1. Connect USB web-camera device to the PC and run any application (Skype setting, OBS Studio video device properties etc.) that will show the camera image on the screen (camera's led will lights on).

  2. In file explorer of Windows double-click (or just hit Enter button) over the save all devices settings.cmd file from the p.4.

The application will run in a small black window that immediately closes. New file named cam_sett.cfg will appear under the same folder:

cam_sett.cfg
save all devices settings.cmd
WebCameraConfig.exe

All device current settings (that are supported by the cfg-cam) were saved.

Apply saved settings

To apply settings saved in p.6:

  1. Connect USB web-camera device to the PC and run any application (Skype setting, OBS Studio video device properties etc.) that will show the camera image on the screen (camera's led will lights on).

  2. In file explorer of Windows double-click (or just hit Enter button) over the WebCameraConfig.exe file that lies at the same folder as cam_sett.cfg from p.6.

The application will run in a small black window that immediately closes. All device saved settings were applied.
