BUFFALO BSW20KM14 USB PC Camera Driver

The BUFFALO BSW20KM14 USB PC Camera driver helps Windows recognize the webcam and make it available to compatible video and camera applications.

Key Features

• Application access: Allows compatible software to use the webcam for video calls and basic video capture, subject to application settings and permissions.
• Windows compatibility: Listed operating systems include Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP. Check the individual package for supported editions and system architecture.
• Driver management: The driver vendor is listed as Microsoft. Windows tools such as Device Manager can help you check driver details, install a compatible update, or roll back a problematic change.

How to Install BUFFALO BSW20KM14 USB PC Camera Driver

1. Check your Windows version. Confirm your operating system and whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit. When looking for a BUFFALO BSW20KM14 USB PC Camera driver download for Windows, match the package to those details. For Windows 10/11 systems, note that Windows 11 is not included in the listed supported operating systems.
2. Verify the download. Before choosing a free download, confirm that it identifies your camera model and comes from a trustworthy source. Select the latest version compatible with your system rather than assuming the newest package supports every Windows release.
3. Connect the camera. Plug it into an available USB port and allow Windows to attempt automatic driver installation. If the camera works correctly, a separate manual installation may not be necessary.
4. Install manually if needed. Run the supplied installer, or extract the driver files and open Device Manager. Locate the camera or unidentified USB device, choose the driver update option, and browse to the extracted folder.
5. Test the webcam. Restart if prompted, then select the camera in a compatible application. If video is unavailable, check USB connectivity, application settings, and camera permissions where applicable.

Keep the driver updated through Windows Update or a verified compatible package when addressing a specific issue. Before an update, note the current driver version so you can use Device Manager’s rollback option if the replacement causes problems.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Device not detected: Connect the BSW20KM14 camera directly to a rear USB port, not a hub. Check Device Manager under “Imaging devices” or “Other devices” for an unknown USB camera; unplug/replug, then scan for hardware changes.
• Install fails or camera shows Code 10/28: Run the driver installer as administrator, disconnect the camera until prompted, and temporarily disable antivirus. If it still fails, uninstall old camera software and let Windows use its built-in USB Video Class driver.
• Driver/version conflicts after a Windows update: In Device Manager, open the camera’s Properties > Driver and use “Roll Back Driver,” or uninstall the device with “Delete driver software” checked, reboot, and reinstall the correct package. Avoid mixing old Buffalo and Microsoft driver versions.
