Hello madhavath.


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We understand that you do not see the the Camera listed in the Security & Privacy settings of your iMac. We will be glad to assist.


Let's reset the SMC first to see if that helps:


"

  1. Shut down your Mac, then unplug the power cord.
  2. Wait 15 seconds, then plug the power cord back in.
  3. Wait 5 seconds, then press the power button to turn on your Mac."

Next, start up in safe mode and test.


If the issue persists, Contact Apple for support and service

Cheers.
