Windows 10: Can any webcam that supports 3d depth be used for windows Hello facial verification system?

Hello everyone.

Hope you are having a great day.

I'm looking to get a webcam that works with windows hello system. I noticed it needs near-infrared camer and a depth camera for anti-spoofing . I found several webcams such as :

• Logitec BRIO
• Creative-Blasterx
• [LilBit Face Recognition](http://%20https://www.amazon.com/LilBit-Recog...04-20&linkId=ae772a7ff0be974ff3746aa0a2eb4012)
• Mouse Facial Recognition

but they all fail with the latest update of windows 10. also it seems these are the only models that are officially windows hello certified! and these so called certified webcams fail themseleves. and to make things even worse, there is not a single page on microsoft that either lists all the certified models, or says plainly what the requirements are.

honestly this has become too much of a nuisance becasue I cant find any camera that works well . I dont know what to do honestly!

Any help in this regard is greatly appreciated

Hi Melissa,

The following link is from Dell regarding the Hello function in Windows 10 with regards to Dell Laptops.

https://www.dell.com/support/article/sg/en/sgdh...

Your laptop is not among those listed as officially supported.

Specific System support

These Dell systems are equipped with a Intel RealSense/3D camera or IR capable Hello compliant camera:

Alienware 13 R3

Alienware 15 R3

Alienware 17 R4

Inspiron 23 2350 All-in-One w/3D Webcam

Inspiron 13 5378 2-in-1 (With IR Camera Option)

Inspiron 15 5548 (With Touch Screen Only may have this option)

Inspiron 15 5557 w/3D Webcam

Inspiron 15 5559 w/3D Webcam

Latitude 14 5480

Latitude 15 5580

The only exception to this at this time is the Latitude 3470 and 3570’s which use an infra-red (IR) camera also seem to work.

NOTE: Facial recognition should not be expected to work on any other 2016 model or older Dell camera equipped systems not included in the listing above.

However, you could try to install the following.

NOTE: Some users reported that they needed to download the Intel RealSense Depth Camera Manager (DCM) before the camera worked with Hello Facial Recognition

If the hardware is not showing on the device list, it could possibly be a hardware failure, in this case, it's best to contact Dell for repairs.

Regards,

Windows hello option is not available

Hello,

Thank you for writing to us.

Please be informed, in order to use Windows Hello you will need a compatible “depth” camera compatible device. Facial authentication will need a 3D depth camera to get it working. No existing webcams will not work. Additional features like
finger print authentication will work with any existing fingerprint sensor devices.

In order to active this feature, you must have the right hardware and the driver is installed.

Follow the below steps to configure Windows Hello.

• 
  Head to “Settings” and then click on “Accounts”, and next on “Sign-in options”.
  
• 
  Set up a PIN code (ignore this step if you already did) by click on “Add” button. Once you have done that step, the options to set up Windows Hello will visible.
  
• 
  You will see an option named “Face”, just click on “Set Up”.
  
• 
  Click on “Get started”.
  
• 
  Move yourself to the front of the camera and make sure your face is in the center of the frame. It will automatically register your face to the system.
  
• 
  There is an improvement option in the next step to improve recognition. Use it if you wear glasses (or not). It will help to make sure you are recognized in quality.
  

Hope the above information is helpful. If you need further information, feel free to write to us and we would be happy to help you.

Thank you.
