> I want a new webcam for my FreeBSD box. Great! FreeBSD boxes are awesome for webcams, they can push tons of traffic and not have any degradation. > Anyone knows what cams I can use on my FreeBSD 4.1? The PC is a old 166mhz > Pentium, but it does have USB. > My major concern is to find the software I need to grab the image. At this point, USB cameras under FreeBSD don't seem to be fully supported. There is some initial support, but I couldn't find the cameras supported anywhere :/ I use a BT848 based video capture card with a regular lil camera. It works great! I have software that does streaming JPEG, its super reliable and the quality of the stream is really good. There are a bunch of other softwares out there too, I think there are some in the ports too. --- Tom bifrost@minions.com "Where am I and why am I in this handbasket?"
