	Unfortunately the camera won't move, I have tried enabeling the ''Pan/Tilt/Zoom'' (as well as the ''Camera Commands'') ''Commands'' in the device template but that didn't do much. Basicly all that needs to be done is ''echo "<x-angle> <y-angle>" > /sys/class/video4linux/video0/pan_tilt'' to move it, which already works from the command line, but I'm not sure how to get LMCE to do it.

=== How to add to your system ===

# Go to the webadmin, click on ''Show devices tree'' (at the bottom of the menu) and select the machine to which the camera is attached
# ''Create child device > Pick device template'' and pick the ''Motion Wrapper'' device template (#64)
# Go to the ''Motion Wrapper'' device if it's not already selected, ''Create child device > Pick device template''
## Add a device category called ''USB Cameras'' and select ''Surveillance Cameras'' as the parent, save and close the window.
## Select ''logitech'' for the manufacturer and the newly created ''USB Cameras'' as the Device Category and hit ''Add device template''
## Choose the 3rd option ''It's a simple, generic serial device...'' and type ''QuickCam Sphere'' as the name, then chose ''Add''.
## Now go to ''Advanced > Device Templates'' (in the top bar) and pick the Device Template you have just created.
## Click ''Add a new controlled via category device'', select ''Interfaces - Surveillance Video Interfaces #111'' from the list and ''save''
## Set ''Packages:'' to ''PWC Camera Drivers''
## Under ''Device data'' add all of the same parameters that the ''Generic Analog Camera #66'' template has.
## Save and close
# Go back to the ''Motion Wrapper'' device you added earlier in the devices tree, ''Create child device > Pick device template''
# You should be able to select your newly added ''QuickCam Sphere'' from the list now.
# With a bit of patience some software will be installed automaticly and after regenerating the orbiter screens and a reload of the router your QuickCam Sphere should be available now.
