My Samsung laptop has a built-in camera. The camera works fine.

I want to get detailed information on it, at the very least model and communication bus.

The output of lsusb, lspci, lshw, ls /dev do not show anything interesting ... or do they? Maybe I do not know what to look for!

  • Hm ... SC-13HDL11939N. But no datasheet online, so I'm going down to search for the driver and ask it questions :D – Vorac Apr 16 '13 at 17:21

I bet your camera is on USB. You should really try verbose versions of the commands:

lsusb -v | less

There are lots of things to browse through. You might also want to try

lsmod | grep video

or just lsmod to find an interesting kernel module. Once found, try modinfo on it's name.

  • So muuuuuuuch information. I found the camera on the usb bus, and much more, than what I was looking for. Thanks a lot! – Vorac Apr 16 '13 at 17:26
