BUFFALO BWC-S130MS01 USB PC Camera Driver

The BUFFALO BWC-S130MS01 USB PC Camera driver helps Windows recognize your Buffalo webcam and communicate with it so compatible applications can access its video feed. If the camera appears as an unknown USB device, is missing from your video application, or needs to be set up after reinstalling Windows, installing the appropriate driver is a useful troubleshooting step.

Key Features

• Device recognition: Helps Windows identify the BUFFALO BWC-S130MS01 USB PC Camera rather than leaving it listed as an unidentified device.
• Application access: Enables compatible video calling and capture software to communicate with the webcam.
• Windows compatibility: Driver selection covers Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP; check each package’s supported operating systems before downloading.
• Driver maintenance: Provides a way to install or replace the camera’s driver when troubleshooting detection or connection problems.

How to Install BUFFALO BWC-S130MS01 USB PC Camera Driver

1. Check your Windows version. Confirm your operating system and whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit. For Windows 10/11 users, note that Windows 10 is listed as supported, but Windows 11 compatibility is not confirmed.
2. Choose the matching package. Before starting your BUFFALO BWC-S130MS01 USB PC Camera driver download for Windows, review the package details for the exact model and operating system. Select the latest version that explicitly supports your configuration.
3. Download and prepare the files. Use a trusted source for a free download, verify that the package identifies the correct camera, and extract it if it comes in a compressed archive.
4. Install the driver. Follow the included setup instructions, including when to connect the camera. If no installer is provided, open Device Manager, locate the camera or unknown USB device, choose Update driver, and browse to the extracted driver folder.
5. Reconnect and test. Restart Windows if requested, connect the webcam directly to a working USB port, and select it in your preferred camera application. Check camera permissions if the application cannot access it.

Keep the driver updated when a compatible release addresses a problem you are experiencing. Before an update, verify model and OS support rather than assuming a newer package will work better. If the webcam already works reliably, avoid replacing its driver with an unverified alternative.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or rolls back: Run the installer as administrator, disconnect the camera until prompted, and temporarily disable antivirus. If setup still fails, uninstall any previous Buffalo camera software, reboot, then reinstall the correct 32/64-bit driver.
• Camera not detected: Use a rear/direct USB 2.0 port instead of a hub, try a known-good cable, and check Device Manager for unknown or Imaging devices. Unplug/replug after installation; if code 43 appears, uninstall the device and rescan.
• Version conflicts or apps can’t see the camera: Remove old/generic USB video drivers, reboot, and install only the Buffalo package. Check Windows camera privacy settings and set the BWC-S130MS01 as default. Don’t mix drivers from other Buffalo webcam models.
