Hi Xarcles, welcome to the Sony Forums

According to the Sony spec page for that model, it doesn't support USB streaming: http://www.sony.co.uk/support/en/product/HDR-HC5E/specifications – not unusual for modern camcorders.

There was a thread recently discussing options for this which may be of interest: https://www.sony.co.uk/discussions/message/1275100#1275100
