    Camera's with such small aperture's and lenses tend to perform poorly in dim rooms and environments.

    Without entirely taking apart the LCD bezel, you won't be able to upgrade the camera, and even if you did, it would require some intricate installation, which would require you run a connection to a USB jumper on the MOBO.

    Buy an external webcam if the picture quality isnt to your liking. The picture quality is generally much better
