I'd like to share my experience on setting up Creative NX Pro webcam on Windows 10 64-bit.
There is no official driver from Creative as this product is no longer supported. However, this webcam can be setup with the driver for Vimicro webcam with some config modification.
My model is PD1130, written on the back of the camera. There are two camera modifications 401E and 403A. You can check your model in the Device Manager > Other Devices > Unknown Device > Properties > Details tab > select "Hardware IDs" property.
It should show: "USB\VID_041E&PID_401E" for 401E or "USB\VID_041E&PID_403A" for 403A.
To setup the webcam, first download and unpack the official Vimicro driver:
Vimicro official driver for ZC0301PL: http://www.vimicro.com/english/product/PublicDriver/WIN/DRV_ZC0301PL_070404.zip
If you have 403A model, change line 30- line 37 in the usbvm31b.inf to
[VM]
%USB\VID_0AC8&PID_0302.DeviceDesc%=VM.USBDCam302,USB\VID_041E&PID_403A
[VM.NT]
%USB\VID_0AC8&PID_0302.DeviceDesc%=VM.USBDCam302.XP,USB\VID_041E&PID_403A
[VM.NTamd64]
%USB\VID_0AC8&PID_0302.DeviceDesc%=VM.USBDCam302.NTamd64,USB\VID_041E&PID_403A
If you have 401E variant, there are few more changes required in the sensor configuration. Those are from the original Creative driver.
Here is the link to the driver after applying those changes. Only one file usbvm31b.inf was modified. You may copy and replace this file into the original driver or use this package as is: Creative NX Pro 64-bit Win10 PD1130 401E driver
Bear in mind that due to this change, the signature of this driver no longer matches the original and Windows will not allow to install it unless the signature check is disabled.
To disable driver signature check in Windows 10:
1. Press and hold the Shift key on your keyboard and click the Restart button.
2. Choose Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings and click the Restart button.
3. When your computer restarts you’ll see a list of options. Press F7 on your keyboard to select Disable driver signature enforcement.
4. Your computer will now restart and you’ll be able to install unsigned drivers.
Now, select the webcam device in the Device Manager and choose Update Driver and point to the driver folder. It will show a red warning message about unsigned drivers. Click install to proceed with installation.
The camera quality is not on par with modern Logitech cameras, but it is still usable piece of hardware.
Hope this helps someone.
