CameraFrameServer.exeWindowsCamera.exeThis paper examines the Driver Webcam SPC WC03, a compact near-infrared/visible-light camera module widely used in driver monitoring systems (DMS). We evaluate its hardware characteristics, optical performance, image signal processing (ISP) pipeline, integration considerations for automotive applications, privacy and safety implications, and propose optimization techniques for in-cabin gaze and drowsiness detection. Experimental results from controlled lab tests show the WC03 achieves adequate low-light sensitivity and latency for real-time DMS when paired with optimized exposure control and denoising; however, careful calibration and thermal management are necessary for robust field performance. Build Quality: Unlike modern plastic webcams, the WC03
