Far better than my Russian! I'm afraid FreeBSD currently lacks support for USB video devices. There has been discussion of both porting V4L to BSD or creating a BSD video system, but I have yet to see any indication of when or if either will actually be available. As of today, the only video input available for FreeBSD is a video capture card using bktr(4). These devices are fairly inexpensive (at leat in the US) at about $25. Less on ebay. But you then need a camera offering composite video out and these can be a bit harder to come by. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
