logitech webcam c500 works

[jfkastner]

very good cam, cheap around $40 to $50, tested in ubuntu 8.04 and 9.10 with ZM 1.24.2 (and winXP with VLC)

no special setup needed - standard uvcvideo cam - here's some info from 'lucview' RE pixels and framerates

obviously framerates are what you set in the config - those numbers here are 'maximum possible' with good light

view is about 15% more than the distance (eg 10 ft distance = 11 1/2 ft wide picture)


the device ID is 046D:0807

palette can be YUVU - which seems faster than the others (more fps)
