Did you update it?

No I didn't update it or do any sort of that thing. I just need to use it as a webcam as its just lying around and i need a webcam at the moment. its just showing as a USB Mass Storage and no option for webcam or detected in device manager as one even without a memory card inserted

also I was checking the ambaUSB program and it gave below:

```
2020-08-16-16:16:03.492: amba_usb_data_model.cpp[ 316]: Found new Amba USB device: BusID#002.DevID#072

```
what it means I don't know :/

The only Ambarella cam working as a webcam known to me is Mevo Start: https://mevo.com/pages/mevo-camera

Most A12 cameras will not work as a webcam (PC cam) regardless of Windows/Linux/Mac OS. I have also noticed that some Eken cameras are minimal in respect to features.

Eken have told me their ambarella cams will not work as a webcam
