Welcome to the HP Community --

One quick method is to use the Device Manager on your computer.

Method - Check your computer to find the type of camera

Control Panel > icon view > Device Manager 

Open Category Cameras

Look for an entry that includes “ IR ” as the type of camera

Method – Check Settings for “Windows Hello Face”

Settings > Accounts > Sign-in Options

If Windows Hello is not available, you will see a message:

Windows Hello Face

This option is currently unavailable - click to learn more

Click to “Learn More” and see message:

We couldn’t find a camera compatible with Windows Hello Face

What else?

Use PartSurfer and check the Product Number or your Serial Number for camera or webcam ...

Reminder:  Never post any private information, including your serial number, in the Community.

Method – Use PartSurfer to check the parts / components in your computer

PartSurfer might be able to tell you exactly which parts came with your computer.

• For best results, use the Serial Number for your search
• Reminder:  Do NOT post private information (including serial number) in the Community

 Open PartSurfer

• Select your Country

How to use PartSurfer:

• Select your region / country - PartSurfer must know your general location

• Items accompanied by a tiny box in the Add-to-Cart column are available for purchase

Parts marked as "n/a" (or are missing from the list) are not available from HP.

Parts marked as available for purchase might be available > CHECK:  HP Parts Store

OR

When HP does not provide the part for retail purchase,

Use your search engine to find a compatible part number replacement at your favorite online store.
