When buying a webcam hand-held, it is sometimes quite difficult to identify the manufacturer as well as the specific model. For this, there are special methods and programs with which you can get this information.
Necessary
Everest Ultimate Edition software
Instructions
Step 1
Before using special programs, it is recommended to try other methods, since such utilities are usually purchased for money. There is a service on the Internet with which you can find the necessary drivers for an unknown device, as well as download them.
Step 2
Copy the following link https://devid.info/ru/, open a new tab and paste the contents of the clipboard into the address bar. Press the Enter key to load the page. A search block appeared in front of you, into which you need to insert the driver code. This code can only be found after viewing the Webcam Properties applet.
Step 3
Right-click on the My Computer icon and select Properties. In the window that opens, go to the "Hardware" tab and click the "Device Manager" button. Find the line with the webcam, call the "Device Properties" applet through the context menu. Copy the value of the line "Device code", for example, PCIVEN_6486 & DEV_1C30 & REV_12.
Step 4
Return to the open browser tab, paste the contents of the clipboard into an empty field and click the "Search" button. The search results usually show drivers for devices of the same model, but for different operating systems. Thus, you have found out the model of the camera and can download the driver for this device.
Step 5
If this method fails to obtain the necessary information, install a utility for diagnosing computer devices. To download it, click on the following link https://www.aida64.com/downloads. Select the desired product, file type (exe-file or zip-archive) and click the Download button.
Step 6
After installing and registering the program on the Internet, launch it. In the program window that opens, pay attention to the left column - select the section, as well as the type of device. The right column will display information about the device model, as well as links to download the latest drivers.
