    does show both cameras
        but cant find a mathing camera type
    Could not initialize camera
    ---
    The android screen says disconnect cable & try again, then webcamd dies
    I juess I need to set some android permissions
pkg install entangle
entangle
    Does not show the Acer laptop internal camera.
    Show external usb:001,006 as Aries Digital Keychain Camera, 1
    It shows option of a net camera too, but I sposes no point as localhost
    It show camera loads controls failed
    Camera does not provide configurtion options
    With no webcamd running:
    Disconnected & connected android
    Rescan shows usb 1,5 Samsung Galaxy Models (MTP)
        click on blue, click connect
        change android to MTP
        "This camera does not support image capture"
        I guess I need thange android options.
    Android evelope options set to USB=PTP
    connected
