Re: [LUG] Webcams

 

I have a Logitech C310 which just works, and has ever since I started using Linux years ago. IMHO provided it's full HD and works natively in Linux, nobody will ever see it so the image will look the same whatever you spend.

I have a C240 which works fine with Debian, but can't find Logitech C92?-? for

webcam suppliers.

At this point grab what you can find and try it, unless there is no rush, then 
wait a few months and buy from the the cheap secondhand market that will no 
doubt spring up as soon as the restrictions are lifted.

The pricing is such that you are paying over list for these on EBay now.

Kai was posting videos on how to use mobile phones as webcams over WiFi with 
Arch Linux the other day, and if he can't get them in Singapore.
