o (My apologies for this overly generic question. Please ignore if
too far off-topic.)
o I need to find a good USB "webcam". It's important that it have:
o Linux driver support.
o Image quality (640x480; lens, sensor, A-to-D quality; low noise;
low light sensitivity).
o Good API (stable, documented) to user space code. Set parameters
including exposure, contrast, "shutter speed", frame rate, single
frame capability, etc. Example code/apps.
o Manufacturer support of Linux (buy from those who support Linux).
o Microphone.
o Of less importance:
o "Full-motion" video (as low as 8 FPS or even less okay).
o Applications/GUI (I'll probably modify or code my own).
o I've had trouble finding any comparative information, even reviews
of just cameras themselves (in a MS environment, ignoring Linux
support).
o Support for the Philips models at http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/
looks very good (do they have better image quality than
competitors?) although the closed-source driver is, obviously,
bothersome. The CPiA driver (http://webcam.sourceforge.net/)
and the OV511 driver (http://alpha.dyndns.org/ov511/) also look
good.
o Any advice or references welcome.
