Confirm that yes, you do want to install the unsigned driver, and wait for Windows to do its thing.
#PS2 EYE TOY SETUP DRIVER#
Under "Manufacturer", scroll down to "Guillemot" and select the EyeToy driver that's listed (if you look up the driver's eyetoy.inf file in a text editor, you'll see the vendor details).
#PS2 EYE TOY SETUP DRIVERS#
Next, choose "Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer". Select the option to "Browse my computer for driver software". In Windows Device Manager, right click on the EyeToy camera, then select "Update driver". Ideally, you'd be done with setup after that, but there are another set of steps you have to do, none of which were detailed in any of the videos or write-ups I've seen as they were done for Windows 7 and 8. Once you've restarted Windows 10 with driver signature enforcement disabled, extract the Namtai Eyetoy drivers, right-click on "eyetoy.inf" and select "Install". But once you're done installing the drivers, you can reboot your computer so that driver signature enforcement is back to being enabled. The EyeToy Namtai drivers are unsigned, so you can't do this via a normal startup. Once you have the drivers, you're going to need to restart Windows 10- via the advanced boot option-into the mode that disables driver signature enforcement. Since you mentioned having a Namtai model, grab the drivers for that. This old YouTube video has links in its description to the drivers I have successfully used in Windows 10 to get my old PlayStation 2 EyeToy cameras working. It's a pain in the ass, but they do work.
