Webcam – Driver to Use Image or Video File as Video Source

Here are two threads full of solutions that worked for some people.

The funniest remark was that it is not a driver issue but an Asus one, because the camera is really physically installed upside-down. So one solution is to find a technician that can flip your camera. Or if the computer is under warranty, demand it of your vendor.

How to Fix the Problem of ASUS Upside Down Webcam

Solutions in this thread:

1. Modify WebCam setting, if the software allows it
2. Download a Webcam Driver from the ASUS support site corresponding to your hardware PID
3. Update Webcam Driver with Driver Detective
4. Edit registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Sunplus SPUVCb\VIDEOPROCAMP, set VFlip value to 1.

Built-in camera upside down

Solutions in this thread:

1) adjust the settings

Run the camera through the Windows Explorer. Your camera built-in will appear upside down, right?
Inside the folder with the drivers provided by ASUS there´s a software called tsnp2std.exe.
With your camera opened, run this application; you will notice a small icon in tray area; right click on it and now choose the option: Open Property Page.
Well, now you should not have problem to setup and adjust the settings.

2) Reinstall driver with flip

I resolved it by editing the snp2uvc.inf file. Open it with notepad and search for the word "flip". You'll see entries like this:
HKR,DefaultSettings,Flip,0x00010001,0 and HKR,Settings,Flip,0x00010001,0.
Change the last digit (zero) to a "1" to all instances. Save the file and re-install your drivers manually from Device Manager. Choose the driver to install, do not let Windows search for you.
Reboot and your video will be in the correct orientation.

3) Roll-back the driver to the original one that came with the computer

1. Download the desired driver.
2. Save it somewhere where you will remember after the download has been completed.
3. After successfully downloading the driver, do not open the driver file until you make sure the following has completed: Uninstall any original drivers for the webcam from the PC.
4. After the original webcam driver has been removed, open the downloaded file.
5. Install the downloaded driver/s.
6. When it's successfully installed, restart your PC.
7. After you have restarted your PC, plug the webcam into your computer and it will automatically recognize the new hardware.
