Dear Manjaro Linux community,
The webcam on my Dell Precision 5680 computer is not recognized under Manjaro Linux 23.1.3. It is activated in the BIOS, and it was working correctly with the original system (Windows 11).
The lsusb and lspci commands do not seem to yield anything relevant regarding the existence of the webcam.
The exact name of the camera is FHD IR CMRA, ExpressSign-In, TNR, Intelligent Privacy, Camera, Microphone; No Camera Shutter.
Thank you very much in advance!
Welcome to the forum! 
Your machine is Ubuntu Certified, so in theory, everything should work out of the box.
Please post the output of both using preformatted text. Your Capture device is listed as an Intel MIPI Camera.
Please also post the output of the following1:
v4l2-ctl --list-devices
1 Requires v4l-utils:
sudo pacman -S --needed v4l-utils
This should also work: GitHub - stefanpartheym/archlinux-ipu6-webcam: Easy installation for patched Intel IPU6 camera drivers .

What is strange is that I have tested Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS on a live USB and the webcam was still not recognized.

Yes, it seems something like that may be needed. There are related AUR packages:

Thanks!
The camera now works, but it seems that it is always on (the light indicator is always on, even if all applications using the camera are closed).
