What is an SoC PC-Camera Windows Driver?

An SoC PC-Camera Windows driver typically refers to a driver designed for a System on Chip (SoC) integrated camera system used in some laptops, desktops, or embedded devices. An SoC is a single chip that integrates multiple components, such as the CPU, GPU, memory, and often peripheral devices like cameras, audio, and networking interfaces, all into one package. In this case, the SoC includes an integrated camera, often referred to as a "PC-Camera."

The SoC PC-Camera driver allows your operating system (Windows, in this case) to communicate with the camera, enabling it to work with applications like video conferencing software (e.g., Zoom, Skype), photo apps, or any program that uses the camera for video input.

Some manufacturers, like Qualcomm, Intel, or MediaTek, integrate cameras into their SoC designs for laptops, tablets, or smartphones, which are then supported by specific camera drivers for Windows.
