I'd get a different product. There's a chance that it'll work fine for you, but if it doesn't work, it's a real pain to fix. I ended up having to reinstall the entire operating system in order to get the thing up and running. May as well spring for a newer model.The actual problem was most likely a conflict with leftover bits of Logitech drivers and software, but I was never able to track them all down and eliminate them.

Working fine for me as a real-time streetcam on a Core2 Quad with 8 GB and Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit. The camera does use a lot of CPU time (20-35% on the quad-core box) at its max resolution 1280x720 mode. CPU use drops significantly at lower resolutions. Nevertheless, it's my favorite USB camera out of an assortment of models I've used. It's by far the best at handling dawn to dusk outside light levels and is even (barely) useful at night with the illumination of a single street light that's about 120 feet away.

Pretty sure it is compatible with Windows 7. As far as recording we can't seem to get a disc big enough to record on. Planning on trying a blu Ray disc and see if that works

Sorry, I'm still quite happy with Windows 7 so haven't personally tested it. That said, their latest driver claims to be compatible with Windows 8.

I am using windows 7 pro 64 and it works well. I had to power the HDD on then plug into the computer and wait for it to show up. I did have one bad HDD that no matter what I did it wouldn't come up but once I figured out the order that I had to hook up the HDDs all but one came up and I was able to pull off all the data and format them and donate all my less than 20 gig HDDs. I hope that this helps

IT will not work on AMD based computers/Avia chip sets\\. . Will not work on windows 8. Works great on 32 or 64 bit Intel based computers running Windows 7. The webcam server offers timed snapshots but no live view but for $37.99 for an 8 channal system im not complaining.

I currently have one running in a 64-bit Win7 system and I don't recall any installation issues. Best of luck.

(probably a little late to reply) i would assume if it were Windows 7 capable at all, it should run against anything Windows 7.. including 64 bit. that's a good question.. it really is sad that the consumer can't just pick one to their fancy and expect it to run D:they should all run on anything with today's day and age, go figure.

Yes, I have been running it on W7 64bit since it came out.Just clean out the old drivers, go to their site and download new drivers.

I have been using it with Windows 7 with no problems. Note the field of view is rather narrow. The screen is good for one face at four feet. Our other webcams have a much wider view. Two persons at a desk need to be about 6 feet away to be in the picture.

I have windows 7 64 bit I have problems with it staying going and it cuts off when it should not. I contacted customer support and got put off after the third contact I never heard back. Spend a little more and get something reliable..

Well i have used it on windows 7 64 bit, and it works fine for me. To be honest i would say away from easycap it only goes up to 480p. If you are looking to record gameplay i would try Hauppage HD PVR.

Unused/new = yes. On-board video = yes. I assume it's compatible with Win 7 & 8, however I'm using Win XP.

I am running Vista(32) and it works fine. I don't use the "what you hear" function. I don't think Win7(32bit) will have any issues with this card. But it would be worth your while to find out if it will work with 64bit Win 7 if you plan to install the 64bit version.

Since I do not have Win 7, I am afraid that I can not help you on this; I do note that my Win Vista Home Premium 64-bit was not compatible, however, W.V.Home Basic 32-bit on the other computer that I had with me worked just fine, so it may have been the 64-bit issue, which has been a problem several times.

What did you find-out about 64 bit compatability. So far< I have not found any drive compatable with 64 bit Vista.

I am using it with windows 8.1 64bit and the only thing I have noticed is it does not like USB ports that are not hard wired to the motherboard(The ones on the back). Did not have this issue with Windows 7.

I am having major problems with this camera running under windows 7 32 bit version. Apparently this is a known issue with Logitech. When the drivers are installed, my system doesn't recognize or read or write to other periferals plugged into my other USB ports. But the strange thing is that the webcam worked well even though my system was unstable. Go Figure. I also get the "Blue Screen of Death" and a system dump every time I shut down the computer. The error log pointed to the webcam drivers. After uninstalling the drivers, all became stable again. I was able to recreate this issue every time I tried re-installing. I called Logitech tech support and got an incredibly unhelpful person who told me it was a known issue but not their problem and told me to call Microsoft. I did call Logitech back again and got a support person who seemed to want to be helpful but wasn't. I'm returning it.
