Brookstone Binocular/Dig camera

by Kazrath Jan 30, 2006 8:03AM PST

I recieved one of these as a gift for Christmas. Out of the box it does not get picked up by WinXP. I was provided no disk with device drivers.

Anyone have these available?

10X25/1.3 MegaPixel Digital Camera/Binoculars
Part 392027

Obviously I am looking here because their support is less than adequate. They manufacture hardware that is suppose to have PC support but provide no support page with downloadable drivers.

If you have em available let me know and I'll give u an email to send them to, thanks.

Binocular/Digital Camera

by snapshot2 Forum moderator Jan 30, 2006 11:41PM PST

You are not likely to find anyone that supports this device.

These are gimmick (toy) devices that are usually sold in blister packs through discount and close-out sources.

I noticed that ''The Geeks'' has one for sale, that was distributed by VuPoint Solutions:

I checked the VuPoint website and they don't even list it anymore:

http://www.vupointsolutions.com/

VuPoint offers lots of gimmick cameras, but if you check their downloads and service sections you can see that they provide no real support for the devices they sell.

I have that cam/binoc

by body_double Feb 18, 2006 2:13AM PST

I gave my husband that cam/binoc last Christmas. The disk was included. Everything is working smoothly so far. Had trouble finding the serial # to download the manager but it was on the disk inside the machine. Call Brookstone and they will send you the disk. While some say it's a toy, they do guarantee their goods for life. We've just returned from a trip around Cape Horn with the cam filled with photos. You can reach Brookstone at Customer Service : 1-800-846-3000. Good luck!!
