Download G-spy Driver
Werid Driver/program installed but cant find it G-Spy I recently formatted my computer and today i went to razer's website to download the drivers for my razer deathadder. During installation a driver came up asking my permission to install it says G-Spy. Download full-text PDF Read full-text. But after downgrading the driver version using root. Gether (e.g., spy and victim), contention about GPU resources.

Introduction:
Gspy retrieves images from a video4linux device and processes theseinto a daily mpeg movie on the disk drive. Each image is recorded witha time stamp to insure accurate real world correlation. Special motiondetection algorithms are used to reduce the size of the daily movies byeliminating pictures with similar content as well as the normal compressionobtained via the mpeg process. The result is a time lapse video per daywith nonlinear time compression using only the images of interest. Thisprogram will only run on Linux machines which support a video4linux-devicein 640x480 capture size. This software has been tested with the 2.4.0-test1kernel, 2.4.0-test4 and the 2.2.16 kernel with the usb backport patch.You should have the Berkeley MPEG Tools installed if you wish to generatethe MPEG files. Gspy can be used without the MPEG tools, as it will filla directory with jpg images that can be processed or viewed at a latertime. Versions from 0.1.6 include a user defined command that is executedon each alarm. This command string can include a token(s) '%f%' that will get replaced with the alarm picture filename. Typical uses would be to copythe alarm picture to a remote site using ftp or scp, email the picture to someone, play a sound annoucement... 'Step away from the keyboard!', turn onlights using a parallel port or X10 interface, or ???. Have FUNKnown Supported Devices:
- Creative Labs Video Blaster WebCam 3 USB, Model CT6840
- BT848 Grabber ( WinTV PCI Radio )
- Hauppage PCI board - BT848
- Philips USB WebCam - PCVC680K Vesta Pro one
Working with gspy 0.1.5 and Redhat 7.2 with kernel (2.4.9-13). Use pwc and pwcx modules. - Phillips PWC690
Thanks to Hervé BOTERMAN, the PWC690 is now supported in version 0.1.5 Use 'modprobe pwc size=vga fps=5' and 'insmod -f pwcx-i386' to connect the webcam to the usb port and set it by default to 640x480 and 5 frame per second. The pwcx module must be loaded to enable image compression of the webcam. - Matrox marvel g200 card and an Hitachi Hi8
Cherubini reports: I would like to let you know that gspy works for me, using linux debianwoody, kernel 2.4.6 with matrox marvel g200 card and an hitachi Hi8videocamera... - D-Link DSB-C300
Daniel reports that all that was needed was to build the kernel with v4l, ov511 and usb-uhci modules, then modprobe usb-uhci, modprobe ov511
Phil reports: Thanks for gspy. I just opened my DSB-C300 camera and tried to install it on my win2k machine. Crash crash the darn thing wont even boot with the camera installed. Well back to linux. RH 7.1 Sony PCG F430
all I had to do was:
mv /dev/video /dev/videodir
ln -s /dev/video0 /dev/video
/sbin/modprobe usb-uhci
/sbin/modprobe ov511
gspy
and it all worked....
cool thanks - AVerMedia InterCam-Elite (OV511-based)
Huib reports:
I tried your program and it works great.Gspy will be used to catch a bike thief(-ves) who stole 6 bikes fromseveral roommates.Anyway, it's a great program and it works without any extra afford on aredhat 7.1 system with a (OV511-based) 'AVerMedia InterCam-Elite':The v4l driver is loaded automatic when the USB camera is plugged in theport. The webcam supports 640x480 so the program works withoutmodifications. - avaks AvCam USB-600 (OV511-based)

To build the application from the glade project in the gspy directory,enter:
./autogen.sh
make
su
rootpassword
make install
To run the application, enter gspy at the shell prompt. Gspyshould open the video device and then popup the runtime display windowsimilar to that shown above. If the open fails on the video device, gspywill exit with an error message. You may need to check and see that theusb stack is loaded if you are using a usb web camera device. To get yourusb camera running, you may find the Linux USB guide useful (see referencesection below). Gspy is quite cpu intensive due the the image processingload. I run it on a 500mhz PIII and it puts a 25% load blip on every 2seconds. It should run on most pentium class computers. Gspy creates subdirectoriesunder a user specified location for each date it runs. All jpegs capturedfor the day are placed in the subdirectory. Use the menu option file/Makempegto select one of the daily directories and start the mpeg generation process(done in the background at a nice priority). You must have the Berkeleympeg tools installed (mpeg_encode binary) for this command to work.
ToDo:
- help generating the internationalization translations would be appreciated.
- add support for multiple USB cameras, maybe 4 as a first pass
- automate the mpeg file generation once per day (currently a manual process)
- improve compensation for camera AGC jumps... causes a lot of false alarmsunder certain lighting conditions
- implement video for linux 2 device interface
- reverse engineer compression modes and update ov511 driver to get fasterframerates
- support for smaller video image sizes
- support alternate video fomats such as avi, motion jpeg or divx for the 'action movie'
- write the user documentation
Not Working?:

Windows comes with drivers for many devices, such as printers, displays, keyboards, and TVs. A driver is software that a device uses to work with your PC. Every device needs a driver to work with your PC. So, in many cases, you can plug in a device, and it’ll work automatically.
Windows can also download device software and info. This might include an app that the device manufacturer created to go with your device or info like the product name, manufacturer, and model number, to help you distinguish between similar devices.
Drivers are updated occasionally. Windows can update them automatically, or you can install the updated drivers yourself. It's important for you to have confidence in the updated drivers you install. Windows notifies you if it detects a suspicious or unsafe driver you shouldn't install.
Automatically get the latest drivers and software
Windows Update checks for updated drivers and software for your devices and install them automatically. Keeping Windows Update on is a good way to make sure your devices continues to work properly and you get the best experience with them.
Note: PCs running Windows RT 8.1 always automatically download and install drivers, apps, and info for your devices.
To check that automatic updating is on
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap Change PC settings. (If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, click Settings, and then click Change PC settings.)
Tap or click Update and recovery, and then tap or click Windows Update.
Tap or click Choose how updates get installed.
Under Important updates, choose Install updates automatically (recommended).
Installing drivers yourself
If your device came with a disc, it might contain software that installs a driver. Before you install a driver from a disc, check the info that comes with it to be sure it supports your current version of Windows.
Download G-spy Driver Printer
You can also search for new drivers on the manufacturer's website. Driver updates are often available in the support section of their website. Download the latest driver for your device, and follow the installation instructions on the website. You can usually double-tap or double-click the downloaded file to install the driver on your PC.
If the driver you got from a disc or downloaded from a website doesn't install itself, you might need to install manually.
To manually install a driver
You must be signed in as an administrator to follow these steps.
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search. (If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, and then click Search.)
Enter Device Manager in the search box, and tap or click Device Manager.
In the list of hardware categories, double-tap or double-click the category your device is in and then double-tap or double-click the device you want. For example, to see your video card, tap or click Display adapters, and then double-tap or double-click the video card name.
Tap or click the Driver tab, tap or click Update Driver, and then follow the instructions. You might be asked for an admin password or to confirm your choice.
Notifications telling you about unsafe drivers
Occasionally, you might see a notification that a driver is unsigned, has been changed since it was signed, or can't be installed by Windows. We recommend that you don't install unsigned or changed drivers.
A digitally signed driver includes a digital signature, which is an electronic security mark that indicates the publisher of software and whether someone has tampered with it since it was signed. If a driver has been signed by a publisher that has verified its identity with a certification authority, you can be confident that the driver comes from that publisher and hasn't been changed.
Spy Pen Driver Download
If you see any of the following notifications when you're installing a driver, you should stop the installation and go to your device manufacturer's website to get a digitally signed driver for your device.
Windows can't verify the publisher of this driver software
The driver doesn't have a digital signature or has been signed with a digital signature that wasn't verified by a certification authority. You should only install this driver if you got it from the manufacturer's disc or from your system administrator.
This driver hasn't been signed
The driver hasn't been digitally signed by a verified publisher. The driver might have been changed to include malware that could harm your PC or steal info. In rare cases, legitimate publishers do change drivers after they've been digitally signed, but you should only install an unsigned driver if you got it from a device manufacturer's disc.
Unfortunately, there's no trustworthy source of info that indicates who has published an unsigned driver. Anyone can change the contents of an unsigned driver, and there's no way to know why it was changed. Most manufacturers now digitally sign the drivers they create before releasing them to the public.
Windows requires a digitally signed driver
A driver that lacks a valid digital signature, or has a signature that was changed after it was signed, can't be installed on 64-bit versions of Windows. You'll only see this notification if you have a 64-bit version of Windows and try to install such a driver on it.
