    Hello All,

    My system was functional without any issues till I installed Online Armor firewall. Now the webcam doesn't even get detected using Dell dock. I am sure firewall is blocking execution of that file. Can anyone name the file that dell webcam uses?

    Thanks in advance.

    Problem solved, there was some issue with webcam drivers. I noticed it in system profiler. Installed the drivers and now works without any problems.
