Good point Ron. I know wireless cams are not an issue or our wireless IDS and frequent wireless audits would tip us off. Firewire, and USB are going to be the most likely candidates. I suppose I could perfom some WMI queries and/or dump remote registry keys to sift for installed drivers or webcam support software. That will take a little longer than what the customer was hoping for. I'll give the USB enumeration plug-in a shot to see if I get anything useable.

Starting with the USB enumeration is a good idea, but there are other more "professional" cameras that are firewire or even standalone/IP based which won't show up in USB.
