I call them webcams because I think that's how the most common type of USB cameras for consumers are marketed (for consumers to use them for web chat, maybe?).

We have ~70 old analog cameras in plac. We're thinking of using USB adapters on a Linux server for a small subset of the cameras, which will show up as /dev/videoX devices (much like consumer webcams show up in Linux). Therefore an areaDetector driver for generic webcams would work for me, I think.

I know I am slightly off topic here,
But - out of curiosity - why would you call such devices webcams?
They seem to be USB only, with no Ethernet or other IP interface.

Confused,

Hi Bruno,

 

We are working on AD EPICS Driver for USB Video Class (UVC) devices, which includes webcams, many mini-microscopes, etc.

Libuvc depends on several packages: libusb-1.0-0 and libusb-1.0-0-dev must both be installed.

Some detectors that support the UVC standard:
