Here is the vendor factory : https://www.microdia.com/,there is nothing related with philips,it is a counterfeits or OEM designed by philips?

"Counterfeit" is probably an extreme stretch here - likely what you're seeing is something that was OEM'd for the Philips brand (by Microdia, who seem to make a lot of webcams) and somebody didn't go through and pretty up the firmware for it to report as a Philips device (likely because its easier to live with the stock firmware). This is not uncommon with legacy brands like Philips (which don't make a whole lot these days, but will have their name slapped on all sorts of things).

EDIT
Yes this is almost certainly what this is - saw the attached image. It says right there 'name used under licence' and lists a non-Philips manufacturer down below.

I have bought a general webcam from China.
I guess the camera chip was produced by Microdia as per the following output:
Code:
Matthew_Wai@My-PC:~$ lsusb|grep 0c45
Bus 003 Device 010: ID 0c45:64ab Microdia
Matthew_Wai@My-PC:~$ curl http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids -s|grep 0c45
0c45  Microdia

If opened, it could be damaged.
