Got a problem with M17xR2 and facap, Fast Access Video Capture
Hey guys, hope you can help me. I just got my alienware M17xR2, reinstall de OS (win 7 64 bits), and got some issues with the video card, Dell says they shipped my laptop with a AMD ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4780, but inside my laptop was the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5780, so I just download the correct driver from Dell and it did work great, just couple of problems the system won't shut down neither reboot, but after installing the ATI BIOS UPDATE from Dell works all fine.
Now the issue i got is that when I check my hardware theres a "facap, FastAccess Video Capture" thing that always appears as turn off, also inside there also appears "integrated webcam" working fine.
Could you help me telling what is that ... facap, fastAccess video capture, and why everytime I turn it on seems ok but when returning to hardware admin, it appears again as turn off?
Hope you can help me, and sorry for my english, my native language is spanish.
Thanks.

See:

My guess is that it has to be bundled into a virtual device so it will be available to the OS before you login (at the login prompt). Programs usually don't load until after login.
IIRC, other Bio-Metric apps/drivers work similarly.

faCap is a virtual camera supplied by the AlienSense facial recognition that's part of Command Center. The purpose of it is to provide a second video interface so that you may continue to use other video programs when you've selected an AlienSense mode that's making use of the integrated camera for facial recognition. FaCap is turned on and off by AlienSense (and ONLY by AlienSense) automatically according to when it's needed.
Check Sensible Vision's online FAQs for additional details. Some, though not all, of the questions will even be available in Spanish (though your English is quite good).
I see a new camera in the Windows Device manager called FaCap. This computer only has one camera….what’s the second one?
