A description of how to check the functionality of a webcam, as well as instructions on how to install a driver for it.

Small introduction

The vast majority of laptops, netbooks, and all-in-ones produced today are equipped with webcams. With Skype and other video telephony services gaining popularity, the webcam is becoming an increasingly necessary accessory.

And with this accessory, sometimes there are various problems with drivers, as well as other problems like an inverted image. The latter, by the way, often occurs on Asus laptops. The solution to the inverted image problem is quite simple: but the drivers are more difficult. It also often happens that the connection between the camera and the motherboard of a laptop, netbook or candy bar is broken and the camera simply does not appear in the list of devices. An inappropriate driver for the camera can lead to the same result. The camera in this case seems to be there, but it is not.

This guide will show you how to solve all these problems and make your webcam work. Here is an example algorithm for solving the problem:

Determining the webcam model;
Installing drivers for a specific webcam;
Installing software and fixing errors in the webcam.

So, let's begin.

1. Determining the camera model

It is logical that before you start installing drivers for the camera, you need to find out what kind of camera it is. This can be done by values VID (VEN) and PID (DEV) codes for your webcam.

To find out them, you need to go to device Manager, find your camera and go to its properties:

Important note:at Device manager cameras can often be displayed as USB video device, Multimedia controller or whatever Unknown device in category Other devices or Imaging devices... If you haven't found it, then don't be upset. Its model can be determined using Ubuntu. This will be discussed below.

Go to the Details tab and select the item in the list ID equipment:

We are interested in the string USB \\ VID_04F2 & PID_B071 & REV_1515 & MI_00 (you have it, most likely, it is completely different, but the VID and PID must be present in it). It contains values VID (VEN) and PID (DEV) for your camera. In this case VID has the meaning 04F2, and PID - B071... These values \u200b\u200bcontain 4 numbers or letters from A before F.

Important note:the vast majority of webcams are connected via an internal bus USB... This means that at the beginning of the line there will be a notation USB - USB \\VID_04F2 & PID_B071 & REV_1515 & MI_00. If you have standing there PCI, and the line looks something like this: PCI\\ VEN_1969 & DEV_1063 & SUBSYS_18201043 & REV_C0, then the unknown device that you have selected is not a camera. It is absolutely the same with Bluetooth adapters and some 3G / 4G modems. They are also connected via the internal USB bus.

When you have values VID and PID for your camera, you can safely move on to the second point, which is related to installing the drivers. But if you could not find your camera, then read on.

If through device Manager if you could not find the camera, then no need to be upset. You can also search for it through utilities like Everest... How to do this is described in this manual:. When you search it is worth remembering that your camera is connected to the internal USB bus.

If the search for the camera and through Everest are not crowned with success, then several options are possible:

Driver problems. The wrong drivers were installed, which led to the fact that the camera disappeared from the Device Manager and is invisible in Everest... This happens quite often. It is solved by reinstalling the operating system along with the drivers;
The ribbon cable or wires with which the camera is connected to the motherboard are loose or damaged. Such a malfunction can be eliminated at home. It is necessary to disassemble the device and check the camera cable and especially the places where the cable connects to the camera board and to the motherboard;
The camera is out of order or the chipset malfunctions (south bridge, such a large microcircuit that deals with USB ports). Here, I think, everything is clear. Service center.

How do you determine what happened to the camera? Rearrange the system? For a long time and not a fact that will help. Disassemble a laptop? Also not an option if the laptop is under warranty. Send it to a service center for a few weeks? It's also not an option if the problem turns out to be in the drivers, and the engineers at the service center will order a new camera so as not to sweat it.

In fact, basic camera diagnostics can also be done at home. For this we need:

Utility for burning disc images. I prefer Ashampoo Burning Studio (download links: /);
Ubuntu distribution (version used in the article: /).

First, download, install and run Ashampoo Burning Studio... Choose from the menu Burn CD / DVD / Blue-Ray disc from disc image:

Specify the path to the downloaded image with Ubuntu:

Put the disc in the drive and press To write:

We wait a little while the disc is being written.

As a result, you will have a bootable disk with Ubuntu Linux... Now you need the laptop to boot from this disk.

Important note:if you don't have a DVD drive in your laptop, you can use a USB flash drive. To write a disk image to a USB flash drive, I recommend using the utility UNetBootin.

Turn off the laptop, put a USB flash drive or disk with Ubuntu in it and turn it on. We go into the BIOS of the laptop. To do this, at the beginning of the laptop boot, you need to press a specific key or key combination. Usually, at boot, at the bottom of the screen it is indicated which button to press to enter the BIOS. Most often these are F2, Del, Esc and others. How to enter the BIOS should be described in the instructions for the laptop.

After entering the BIOS, you need to find where the boot order is configured. Usually these settings are located on the tab BOOT... The F5 / F6 buttons are usually used to change the boot order. As a rule, the settings page indicates which buttons can be used to change the download list. How to change the boot order should also be indicated in the instructions for the laptop.

Install your flash drive or memory card on first place in the download list. Flash drives usually act as USB-HDD... The boot order should look something like this:

After saving the settings, the laptop should reboot. You can now proceed to download Ubuntu.

If everything is done correctly, then this window will appear:

Click on Try Ubuntu (Try Ubuntu) and wait for the system to boot.

When the system has booted, go to the top menu and run Terminal:

In the terminal, enter the command lsusb and press Enter:

This command lists all USB devices in the system:

Since the camera is connected via USB, it must also be present in that list. In the image above, I have selected it with my mouse. You can also see the values \u200b\u200bthere VID and PID codes for your camera. They are written in the form VID: PID... Judging by the image above, VID my camera has 04f2, PID - b071... The same information was reported by device Manager... This is how you can find out what kind of webcam you have installed.

Important note:if your camera was not there, then this means either the camera itself is out of order, or, more likely, the contact in the camera connectors has come off or the cable is damaged somewhere. If the laptop is under warranty, then it makes sense to take it to the service center under warranty, if the laptop is not under warranty, then you can try to disassemble the laptop yourself and inspect the camera cable and connectors.

If you have a desire, you can check directly in Ubuntu if your camera works or not. For this we need a utility Kamoso... To install it, go to the menu and launch the application manager:

Important note:to install this application, you need to first set up Internet access from Ubuntu. If you are connecting via 3G / 4G modems, then it is better to go straight to installing the drivers. You have VID and PID codes. The fact is that setting up the Internet in Ubuntu is rather complicated in this case.

In the window above, enter Kamoso:

Double click on the application, and then click on the buttons Use this source and Install:

We are just waiting:

That's all. The application has been installed. This is how programs are installed in Ubuntu:

We launch this utility:

And here's the camera working:

If it doesn't work for you, then Kamoso most likely does not support your camera.

We proceed to installing the drivers.

2. Installing drivers for the webcam

So. With the definition of which camera is sorted out. You should have the VID and PID codes for your camera at this point. We will select drivers for them.

For greater convenience, the drivers are collected in one small archive and divided into folders. Below will be download links, as well as a list of supported cameras for each folder with drivers. Use the page search by your PID code. It will be faster.

A set of drivers for webcams: /.

You can also download a set of drivers for laptop webcams Asus (/) and Lenovo (/). Description with a list VID / PID codes for different folders is in the archive. For search VID / PID code, it is recommended to use the page search in the browser. Usually invoked by pressing Ctrl and F.

This archive of drivers for webcams contains the following folders with drivers:

Important note:if you did not find the drivers for your camera with the required VID and PID values \u200b\u200bin the list above, then contact this forum topic for help:. In the message, be sure to indicate your VID and PID.

Now let's touch on the question of how to install the driver for the camera. Usually, to install, just run setup.exe, PNPINST.exe, PNPINST64.exe or another executable file. If you did not find one or the driver is not installed like that, then you can install the driver manually.

To manually install the driver, you need to go to device Manager, go to the properties of the camera, as we did earlier, and go to the tab Driver:

On this tab, click on the button Refresh... We refuse to automatically search for drivers:

We indicate the folder with drivers for the webcam:

This completes the driver installation. If you have any problems finding and installing drivers, please refer to this forum topic:.

Installing software and fixing errors in the webcam

Finally, let's talk about programs for working with the camera. There are a great many of them. Each manufacturer has its own version of such programs. Have Acer this is Acer crystal eye, at Asus - LifeFrame, at Lenovo - Youcam, at HP its own and so on. They often allow you to take photos, apply various effects, and change settings. Some also allow you to shoot video with your webcam.

In addition to programs from manufacturers of laptops, netbooks, monoblocks and other devices, there are also third-party programs like WebCamMax and others like that. Also, the same Skype... For it to work, you must have installed drivers for the camera. In settings Skype you can check if the camera is working or not.

AT Windows XP the camera could be accessed through My computer, on Windows Vista and Windows 7 this feature was removed.

Camera settings are available both from apps and through the registry. This is shown in more detail here:. By changing various parameters in the registry, you can configure the camera. These parameters are different for each camera. Their names and meanings are often spelled out in inf-file in the folder with the camera driver. This forgives them further search in the registry.

That's all.
