Carestream Imaging/Kodak

MouthWatch cameras easily integrate with Kodak Dental imaging software. Use the MouthWatch camera to capture images of the patient and store them directly into the patient record.

Step 1 – Download the Button Capture Software

• Go to: https://www.mouthwatch.com/intraoral-cameras/getting-started/ and download our Button Capture Software.
• View the installation guide
• Install the Button Capture Software program, following all steps in the guide
  Important: If setting up a MouthWatch Plus+ make sure to install the required driver by checking the box at this step:
  
  
• Right click on the MouthWatch Capture icon in the system tray
• Select Kodak from the Button Capture Software menu

Quick Tip: If you don’t see the MouthWatch Capture icon, click the ^ button (indicated by the red arrow in the photo below) to expand the System Tray. You can drag and drop the icon from the expanded System Tray down to your Taskbar.

Step 2 – Plug in the MouthWatch Camera 

Make sure that you plug the USB connector into a powered USB port. Sometimes, these are located on the front or back of the computer. If your monitor has USB ports, these may not be powered.
If setting up a MouthWatch Plus+ use a USB 3.0 port.

Step 3 – Windows Recognizes the Camera 

Once the MouthWatch camera is plugged in, you should see a small alert on the bottom saying that New Hardware USB Video Device was recognized.

Step 4 – Install the Third Party Video Card Software 

Kodak may not have been installed with the Third Party Video Card/Kodak 1000 Intraoral Camera function enabled.

• To install this functionality, download and install the below files, selecting all options during the installation:
  
• The STV file links need to be right-clicked and "Save as..." selected to download. Left click does not work to start the download.
