Hello, I have a Dell P3424WEB monitor with an integrated camera connected via USB-C to my Macbook Pro M1 on macOS 14.6 and I keep having issues with the camera. If I disconnect the laptop from the monitor and connect it again, the camera is usually undetected. If I use it on Zoom, the video often freezes and needs to be turned off and on again in the Zoom app. I have installed the latest firmware for the monitor, Dell Display Manager, but the issue persists. What should I do to fix this? It is very frustrating to have such a cool integrated camera which only works sometimes (typically after restart of my Mac). Also - my colleague reported the same issues on 16" Macbook Pro M2.
After conducting an engineering analysis, the engineering team determined that the issue is not with the Dell monitors, as they are functioning as designed.
To address this behavior, try disconnecting and reconnecting the USB-C cable from the Apple computer.
If the issue persists, we recommend contacting Apple Support
To receive assistance from Dell support agents they need to first verify the ownership and warranty status. Click the blue "Get Help Now" on the right to start a private live chat session. Share the private P3424WEB Service Tag with them.
Test the P3424WEB + webcam on a system running Windows OS. Do you have the same issues?
Be sure that the firmware is M2T102 or later in Menu- Others.
I am on the latest firmware. Contacting the support team did not help and It seems I am not the only one having these issues, there are more reported cases even from WinOS. When can we expect new firmware addressing these issues to be released?
Lots of people complaining about this, how will Dell fix the issue, and when?
Customer support is suggesting using two cables, 1 for upstream (USB-C) and 1 for downstream (for the Camera and other integrated features). This goes against the whole point of having the monitor with an integrated camera and power supply connected via a single USB-C. I reject this workaround.
