Windows 10 Photos cannot find Canon ZR800 connected via Firewire

I am using Windows 10. I plugged in a PCIe Firewire card and connect my Canon ZR800 MiniDV Camcorder to the Firewire port.

I can see Canon ZR800 in Devices and Printers.

Then I am trying to use Photos (replacement for Movie Maker, as I understand) to import video from Canon ZR800.

In Photos, when I click Import -> From a USB Device, it can't find the Canon ZR800.

Does Photos support Firewire device? Or I need to use a different software to import video via Firewire?

 

PC does not recognize my DV camcorder connected via Firewire

My PC used to recognize my Canon GL2 DV camcorder when I connected it to the Firewire port. Now it doesn't recognize it. I attached another Canon DV camcorder and the PC recognized this one and installed a driver for it automatically, but it still won't
recognize the other one. There's a dialog box that used to pop up asking if I wanted to transfer videos from the camcorder when I plugged it in, but it no longer does this. Is something wrong with the camcorder, or is there a driver missing?

 

Windows 10 64bit won't recognize my camcorder via firewire.
