Webcam sony fz series

I have a webcam integrated into my laptop that I'd like to get working for the sake that it's there. The result of lsusb is

Bus 007 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 006 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 05ca:1837 Ricoh Co., Ltd 
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 004 Device 003: ID 045e:00e1 Microsoft Corp. Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 Reciever
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

I'm not exactly sure where I'd start with this other than that the camera isn't detected so I'll have to find a driver for that but I don't know where I'd go to find that.

I was reading that earlier but I have no idea what existing VGP-VCC4 firmware he is talking about.

EDIT - I found this link but is that what he means and if so, how do I make that a driver?
