Title: Supported USB Web cams
Post by: fearingsept on November 24, 2011, 07:16:49 pm

I'm looking for a known working USB web cam for surveillance. I tried to set up a Logitech quick cam that I had but I am not able to get any visual. Is anyone using a USB cam? If so what brand and model?
Thanks,

Dustin

I would think those rosewills will work. I have 3 of these from rosewill and have them working. I thought it was pretty painless to setup.  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16881147003

Hi,

I had two logitech Quickcams connected (3000 and 4000), but driver was always complaining and they simply don't work for me... Not sure what is the problem...

HTH,

regards,

Bulek.

I got a Logitech 4000 half-working. I got a feed. Could see the images on Orbiter etc. It would record as soon as it would detect movement however that was as far as the movement detection went. I couldn't make the system do anything with it. It wasn't listed as a security sensor (even though auto-recording worked), only as a camera.

You can see my post here: http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php/topic,11766.msg82094.html#msg82094

This was on 810. I haven't tried it on 1004.
