HUAWEI computers can be connected to external cameras. To check whether your computer is compatible with a certain camera, read its specifications and connection requirements.

  1. Enter Device Manager in the search box on the taskbar and open it.

  2. In Device Manager, select Cameras to show all devices, right-click the built-in camera, and select Disable device.

  3. Connect the external camera to the computer.
     
    • For a computer with a USB port, connect the camera to the computer via the USB port and debug the camera according to the camera instructions.
    • For a computer with no USB port, connect the camera to the computer via a USB docking station, and debug the camera according to the camera instructions.
    • For a wireless camera or Bluetooth camera, follow the camera instructions to connect it to the computer.
  4. After the built-in camera on your computer is disabled, the external camera will be automatically enabled when an app needs it.
  5. If you wish to switch back to the built-in camera of the computer, enable the built-in camera in Device Manager by referring to step 2.
