Your laptop may have a True Vision 5mp camera with a privacy door covering the lens. Make sure it is open.

Try this HP universal webcam driver dated 2024

If it does not work then try a different driver as follows

Click Browse the computer to select a specific USB Video Device driver.
Double-click Imaging Devices to expand the list of webcam drivers, right-click the webcam driver, and then select Properties. It may not be under imaging device




Make a note of the existing name of the webcam driver (Example: HP Webcam), as it might change after the update.
On the Webcam Properties window, select Update Driver
Select "Browse my computer for drivers"
Click Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.
Remove the selection from Show compatible hardware.
Select Microsoft in the Manufacturer field, and select USB Video Device in the Model field.
Click Next to install the webcam driver.
Allow the installation of the USB Video Device, and then click Close.
After the device has been updated to USB Video Device in Device


You may have to try more than one driver. Possibly an older driver will work.

If the above does not work then please provide the VEN and PID numbers that identify the camera device. For example the IR camera ID is 0408 and 545E
The actual camera is also needed, not just the IR

IR driver for laptops about 2017 - 2018
