I need to find a web cam driver for an unnamed webcam?
My sister purchased a web cam on eBay about a year ago and we lost the CD, now I’m trying to install it on my PC but I can’t find the drivers online.

this is what the web cam looks like. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Note: Before anyone asks, the web cam is completely empty. There is no model number or manufacturer name on it. All I could find out is that its made in china.

here’s another link to the exact cam that I have. This blue one. Yet nowhere can I find where the manufacturer or model number is.
Um.. Sorry, that does not help. I need to find drivers for my web cam in order to use it. That software is a video editing software. I can’t use it if my web cam isn’t working….
The bad news is, my sister finally found the Cd…. but its broken…. So i’m out of luck if I can’t find drivers for it online.

that’s the information that appears on the Device ID under Device Manager.

This may help:
“VirtualDub” is an easy to use video capturing and processing program that works with any Video for Windows compatible device. It helps you to get video onto your computer by capturing it from a source like your web cam or other input device, and also to edit existing video files you may have. Capturing features include fractional frame rates, optimized disk access, create AVI2 (OpenDML), integrated volume meter and histogram for input level monitoring as well as Real-time downsizing, noise reduction, field swapping and more. Editing functions include AVI2 read/write/, integrated MPEG-1 and Motion-JPEG decoders and an extensive video filter set, including blur, sharpen, emboss, smooth, 3×3 convolution, flip, resize rotate, brightness/contrast, levels, deinterlace, and threshold. You can also remove and replace audio tracks without touching the video and apply bilinear and bicubic resampling without blocky resizes or rotates. In addition, you can decompress and recompress both audio and video, remove segments of a video clip and save the rest, without recompressing as well as preview the results, with live audio and more.

Plug it in.
Open Device Manager (Windows key+Pause/Break)
Select Hardware>Device Manager.
There find the webcam, right click on it, select properties, and then details.
There you will find a USB VID and PID. You can search the internet for those to see who made the camera, and look for drivers and applications from them.
