I tried installing one of these on my core to use as a security camera, using instructions found here. Unfortunately I found that when I viewed the cam in my orbiter, nothing showed up! After consulting a few guides I found that this webcam required an update to the v4l drivers.
This command can be used to test if your system is able to use your webcam:
mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:width=640:height=480:device=/dev/video0 -fps 5
I then used instructions from http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_Obtain%2C_Build_and_Install_V4L-DVB_Device_Drivers to update the drivers.
Unfortunately I still get the same problem...
I'll update this document further if/when I get time for some further investigation.
