Intel(r) PC Camera CS120 Driver

The Intel(r) PC Camera CS120 driver helps Windows recognize this Intel camera and communicate with it so compatible applications can access video. If you are setting up the camera, reinstalling Windows, or troubleshooting a device that is not detected, you will need a driver package that matches your operating system and hardware.

Key Features

• Camera recognition: Provides the device-specific software Windows needs to identify and communicate with the Intel CS120.
• Video capture support: Enables compatible camera applications to receive video when the hardware and driver are working correctly.
• Device management: Lets you check the camera’s driver status and troubleshoot recognition problems through Windows Device Manager.
• Version-specific setup: Helps connect this older camera to supported Windows environments when the correct package is available.

How to Install Intel(r) PC Camera CS120 Driver

1. Check your Windows version. Confirm your operating system and whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit. This page lists Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP; verify the individual package’s compatibility before proceeding, since one driver may not support every listed system.
2. Choose the matching package. Before starting your Intel(r) PC Camera CS120 driver download for Windows, review the supported device model, operating systems, and installation notes. Select the latest version compatible with your setup, not simply the highest version number.
3. Download and prepare the files. If a free download is available, use a trusted source and scan the package with your security software. Extract compressed files before attempting installation.
4. Install the driver. Run the included installer and follow its connection instructions. If the package contains driver files without an installer, open Device Manager, locate the camera or unidentified device, select Update driver, and browse to the extracted folder.
5. Restart and test. Restart if prompted, connect the camera, and test it in a compatible application. On Windows 10/11, also check camera privacy permissions; Windows 11 support is not confirmed by the operating-system list above.

Keep the driver updated when a verified, compatible release addresses an issue you encounter. Because the CS120 is an older camera, newer Windows versions may have limited driver availability. Before you update a working installation, retain the existing driver or create a restore point so you can recover if needed.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Installer fails or stops midway: Use the CS120 package built for your Windows version, right-click the installer, and choose Run as administrator. Disconnect other cameras, close conferencing apps, and retry after a reboot; older packages may need Windows compatibility mode.
• Camera not detected: Try a different USB 2.0 port and cable, avoid unpowered hubs, then open Device Manager > Cameras/Imaging devices and scan for hardware changes. Check Windows camera privacy settings and confirm the CS120 appears without a warning icon.
• Driver version conflicts: Uninstall any existing Intel PC Camera CS120 or generic USB video driver in Device Manager (select Delete driver software), reboot, then install the correct CS120 package. Do not mix drivers from other Intel camera models.
