The polarity is correct, but 400mA is not enough. One commercial supply I saw was rated at 2.5A. I even suspect 3v isn't enough as I have tried an external battery pack with D-Cells in it and after a few flash shots it wants new batteries. The camera itself seems to be over-sensitive to "low" voltage and complains about new or freshly charged batteries (see other posts).

There is a problem with these cameras in this battery voltage area. I have asked Vivitar what external voltage to use, but no reply. Good luck! I am sufficiently fed up with this camera that I may try 4.5v external supply and if it blows up, good riddance!

I have a Vivitar Vivicam 6320. There was an AC adaptor but that has been mislaid. I would like to use a generic adaptor. Any help would be appreciated.

There are universal adapters that have several common voltages with a selector switch. They come with different style interchangeable plug ends, so one of them will fit your camera.

Original Power Powerline 1300 mA Universal AC Adapter One similar to this will work well for you.

Does anyone know how i can use my 3765 for a webcam i'm desperite i called vivitar and got the runaround. please help

You can't. The 3765 was designed as a camera, storing high-resolution images (and videos) to a memory card. It was not designed to stream live video to another device.

No software for vivicam 3765

You don't need any software.

The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.


Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or, despite what I said first, you can use any photo cataloging program such as Picasa.
