I bought this cam years ago, because at that time I had no machine with an USB port, and because there was a Linux driver for the Quickcam. Well after i bought it, i noticed that the Quickcam _VC_ is incompatible with the normal Quickcam. Die, Logitech, Die! This cam really sucks. First It requires Windows, second it requires a screen resolution of 800x600x32bpp, so you can&#8217;t run it on an old computer and third it requires a lot of resources, so you can&#8217;t do any work, while the camera program is running.<br \/>\nNow that I have enough computers with USB I am thinking about getting a new one. Unfortunately information about Webcams on BSD is  hard to find, but last week someone posted a pointer to <a href=\"http:\/\/www2.starcat.ne.jp\/~takam\/bsd\/NetBSD.html\">takaM&#8217;s list <\/a> Some of the models listed there are even listed on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.geizhals.at\/\">Geizhals<\/a>. So maybe I really should try to get one. I have also considered buying a standalone camera, like the Axis ones. I have also seen cameras with WLAN, but my budget is rather tight, 200 EURO&#8217;s is the maximum I can afford.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have a Logitech Quickcam VC for the LPT-port.
