I want to connect a USB webcam to my home PC which runs Debian Woody (3.0) kernel 2.4.18
Which webcam would you advise me? I don't need a super quality and expensive system, all I want is
a system that I can set up with minimal hassle.
I've read an article (http://www.aboutdebian.com/webcam.htm) which tells
about IBM "PC Camera" or Xirlink C-It models. As I examined my module list with modconf I can see
that these models are supported
USB devices on my Debian. However these articles: http://www.linux-usb.org/ibmcam/ and http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=70 have some negative comments about IBM and Xirlink
on Linux.
I've also found this site: http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/
As you can see I'm cofused a little bit. I hope some experienced camera users can show me the right way.
I want to use this cam for motion detection and I found this software: http://www.turbolinux.com.cn/~merlin/mvc/
I'd also be glad if you know similar alternatives for Debian.
Thanks in advance.
