## Prerequisite

You have USB 3 cameras that supported with MediaRecorder.

See [Supported USB cameras](https://bookstack.noldus.com/link/413#bkmrk-page-title) in [Recording devices](https://bookstack.noldus.com/link/410#bkmrk-page-title)

## Which situation applies to you?

- You ordered the computer, cameras and MediaRecorder from Noldus IT.

In case of Basler USB 3.0 cameras, your computer has a USB 3 card and its drivers are installed. The cameras are configured. Also MediaRecorder has been set up to use with these cameras. You can connect your cameras and start recording.

- You bought the computer somewhere else.

Carry out the entire [Procedure](#bkmrk-procedure) below.

## Procedure
