If your computer has Fast Access Facial Recognition Software, then...

i have dell inspiron n4010 with windows 7 64bit...i tried installing webcam central 3 and also tried to upgrade my cam driver but nothing has worked so far...in my device manager there are no bangs against integrated webcam  it seems to be installed correctly but wen i open web cam central the cam blinks on and of again...this keeps happening...web cam central detects the cam it switches on and then off again..please tell me if this is a hardware problem or can it be fixed through some driver...

I am having the same issue with my n4010 as well, I honestly think its some type of fault with the computer and the new software dell had us download, my laptop is brand new as of this year, so its the company's fault. I still have warrenty I will be contacting them today since none of these post have helped.

After update my camera has no been detected, now im unable to do anything since I was told to remove the program.

I have exactly the same problem with my  Dell Inspiron N4010  i5 equiped with Window 7 Professional 64bits and Integrated Dell Webcam Central 1.3M, 14/15/1764.

I tried to follow the procedure you described but imaging devices never show in device manager. Even when i tried to use  "Add lagacy hadware" procedure after the search integrated webcam does not appear in the list of manufacturer and model.

Is there any procedure to follow to bring back Imagine device with integrated webcam into device manager drop down list.

Plaese your help will be highly appreciated.

I have the same on an XPS 17 - started a thread on here that no one has bothered to respond to yet.

How many people have to say they have this problem beffore Dell recognise there is an issue with either hardware failure or compatibility - mine stopped working after a Windows update. An external webcam works fine.

Updating webcam central wont fix it

Updating/reinstalling the driver wont fix it

It was working till today when I tried to use webcame but ws not working..The above is been shown when I try to connect to skype webcam..Keeps flickering on & off..

Hi Rick,

I did as what you told but this is what is coming on my skype :

What should be done?Should I take the laptop to the store shop?

Chippyrajan,

Try restarting the computer first and see if it comes back.

You said it was working, then try a system restore point to see if it works, again.

Can you still login with your Fast Access Facial Recognition Software?

Rick

I uninstalled & installed the latest s/w but still shows as the above..

How to login to my Fast Access Facial Recognition Software?

I don't know why Dell won't publish any Webcam driver/software for the integrated webcam used in laptop.  

I found the following  Dell Webcam Central software (full version).   My laptop is not listed int the "Compatibility" section but it works like a charm to me.  But I am not sure if it will work for you.  You may give it a try.

Chippyrajan,

Sorry for the delay, work. If the laptop is under warranty, contact Dell Tech Support.

Near the clock, for Dell Webcam Central, you should see the Dell Webcam Central icon.

Double click on it. You should then see...

Click ok. You'll then see...

Click on retry. You should then see this...

If you see this, then when you close the Dell Webcam Central, then you'll see this message...

This shows that Dell Webcam Central is working. It works with Fast Acces Facial Recognition.

Now for Skype. I recomment going to...

Start, control panel, programs and features and click on skype, then click on uninstall. When it's done installing, restart your computer.

Download Skype 5.3.0.120 and install it.

Open Skype and log in.

Click on tools options Video settings. If the dropdown menu has Integrated Webcam, I see this...

If I select FA Virtual Cam from the dropdown menu, I get...

Not sure which part you don't have. Please try these thing and let me know what functions work and which ones don't.

Hi i have a dell inspiron N4010 and as all people here my problem is with the webcam.

I tried everything that other users posted nothing worked at  100% ! Some solution worked on a limited period of time.

Uninstall the webcam central and install it etc etc some times it work but after a day or 2 it stop to work and i have to do ir all over again and after doing it that soluton dont work so i have to try other.

This cant continue like this, every day i fight with it....i dont know what to do more.I really think this is a dell problem bcz my computer is brand new and i didnt do anything much with it.

So any1 have a full, complete solution for this?
