Webcam post 10.9.2

[crabhunter]

I lost my webcam after the 10.9.2 update.
It is a well documented problem and the cure is to delete a program called air parrot or any others to do with mirroring the display.
I do not have any such programs on my setup.
Has anyone any other clues as to what affects the webcam.
I never updated to Yosemite but have tried El Capitan where it works fine but in order to use face Time I need to log in using Mavericks first which I can't do without my webcam.
I have no access to the original 10.9.0 version as the App Store supplies the newest version.

Why 10.9.2? Current version of Mavericks is 10.9.5.

I never updated after 10.9.2, I didn't even try going up to Yosemite.
I have now got El Capitan running well on a new hard drive.
I believe my options to get FaceTime working are.

1. Go back to 10.9.0 (I daren't discuss that for fear of another ban)
2. Get my webcam working on 10.9.2
3. Get FaceTime working on El Capitan (Phone Apple)
