This might be a stupid question but how do I turn the kinect sensors off when not recording or when you finished using the cameras for a capture session?

Hi Simon,

never a stupid question.

The Kinects will remain lighted until unplugged from USB ports on computer.

That's what I ended up doing. Thanks Mr. Bones. I was trying not to do it like that since usually you need to tell Windows to unplug the device first. Also I'm using the ac adaptor that comes plugged with the kinect sensor but noticed that the camera still gets power from the USB port after I disconnect the ac adapter. Do I need to use both like I've been doing?

I would suggest you to update your console software. You can do that by following the below steps:
Insert the Kinect game disc in your Disc drive.
Now let the game to load in your Xbox Dashboard and then start the game.
Now, your console software will automatically prompt if any kind of updating is required by it.
“Update Required: An update has been found, to apply this update you must restart your console.” This message will appear in your screen if any new update is detected.
Restart your console to install the new update. Click on Yes option to do so.

I think Caleb03 is suggesting that you plug the kinect into an xbox to update the firmware in the device.

Caleb03 sdid not indicate that you should use the xbox to run ipisoft.
