However, mishaps can occur anytime. You may accidently delete the videos or suddenly discover one day that your precious videos are missing from the drive.

Usually stored in internal or external hard drive, webcam videos can get lost due to accidental deletion, virus infection, formatting of the drive, sudden power cut, or computer crash.

If you have lost any such important webcam videos, read on this post to know how to recover them, irrespective of the type of webcam you use.

    My laptop was completely on its way out. It took me ages to get it running, two keys weren’t working, I had pop ups and malwares everywhere, videos wouldn’t play, etc etc.

    I took it to fix my Pc and for under £100, my laptop is now as good as new- New keyboard, anti virus software for life. The even cleaned the laptop physically. And they did all this in a couple of days.

    Highly recommend this company. Brilliant service!

    Thank you so much. I was going nuts. I’ve had my Laptop for a few years now and never had a need to use the camera until now so I didn’t bother with it. You saved me a headache. Thanks again.

    Thank you for doing them all in sync, really helps those, like myself, to get a grasp as to what they think is best for them (others just want to discuss it and not show the quality itself). The tests were a nice addition and, though I won’t use them for mics, thank you for putting that in too.

    the recovery software worked for the external memory SD card but did not work for internal SD, is it limited to external? or is there any special settings I need to do?

      Hi Marshak,

      If you are trying to connect your SD card directly via phone, it is possible that the software is not able to detect it. But, if you try reading it with the help of a card reader, it’ll work.
