FaceTime was launched by Apple Inc specifically keeping iOS users in mind. The application is already available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. So you do not need to download the app again. To set up FaceTime on your Mac you need to click on the FaceTime icon. Since the app is installed on your device by default, you only need to find the FaceTime. There's an iMac whose FaceTime HD camera isn't displaying video images in applications like FaceTime, Photo Booth, or QuickTime video recorder. OS X El Cap shows that the camera is attached and registered properly in the About This Mac - System Report. Fresh new install of El Cap on a Fusion drive. Previously the camera worked well with Yosemite.
Seems like my MacBook Pro's camera isn't working in High Sierra. Just testet in Sierra / macOS 10.12 on the same hardware and it's working fine there.
Under System Report > Hardware > Camera I can see the Model ID & Unique ID on High Sierra just fine as well.

When I launch Photo Booth or FaceTime apps the green light next to the camera doesn't turn on and booth apps just show a black screen. FaceTime.app even gives me the following error:
No Video
FaceTime has not received any video from the connected camera. Restarting your computer may fix this issue.
Multiple restarts have not resolved this issue. Has anyone else run into the same issue?

FaceTime HD Camera on MacBook Air 2013The FaceTime HD Camera on MacBook Air 2013 is very different from any previous iSight or FaceTime camera.
Except for the first FireWire iSight, every built-in camera Apple installed on their Mac is a USB camera. Most of the external USB camera we can find on the market follows UVC (USB Video Class) specification and can be used on the Mac without any extra driver. Before MacBook Air 2013, Apple also use UVC camera on MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac and Cinema Display.
Use 'System Information' we can find Apple's built-in camera on the USB Bus.

But on MacBook Air 2013, the built-in camera is nowhere to be found on USB Device Tree.

Now there is a new hardware category - Camera.

This new FaceTime HD Camera could be the start of a new generation of Apple's built-in camera. Its hardware is so different that Apple even published a warning that some apps may not work properly with it, for example Final Cut Pro X v10.0.8.

Webcam Settings 2.0 and FaceTime HD Camera on MacBook Air 2013
Due to this unexpected hardware change, Webcam Settings 1.5 and Sight Control 1.4 are unfortunately not compatible with the new camera. I had to order a new MacBook Air 2013 from Japan and have it shipped overseas to Taiwan so I can inspect the new hardware and try to find a solution.
Now I am pleased to announce - Webcam Settings 2.0 will officially support the new FaceTime HD Camera on MacBook Air 2013.
The new FaceTime HD Camera on MacBook Air 2013 has less hardware controls then previous models, which includes Exposure Time, Brightness, Contrast, Hue, Saturation and Sharpness.

Secrets of FaceTime HD Camera on MacBook Air 2013
The new camera can produce 720P (1280 x 720) video stream in uncompressed format (Y'CbCr 4:2:2 - uyvy) at 30 FPS. This represents a tremendous amount of data transmitting from the camera to host computer. It is beyond the bandwidth of a USB 2.0 Bus. Other webcam manufacturers overcome this issue by transmitting in a compressed format - usually Motion JPEG or H.264. A compressed format means reduced image quality, added cost to the compression hardware on the camera and added processing time and CPU power on both the camera and host computer.
Apple choose another way to overcome this issue, they connect the camera through a faster Bus. No, not USB 3.0, USB 3.0 webcams are rare and maybe not cost effective as of today. Instead, Apple connects the new camera through PCIe bus.
The funny thing is this camera declares itself as a Broadcom PCI device with PCI vendor ID 0x14E4 not with Apple PCI vendor ID 0x106B.
