If you want to customize which drivers to compile, run: make menuconfig Navigate to the 'uvcvideo-1b4c7a6b9d26' directory (or some similar name) containing the source.
#Uvc cameras install#
Then ensure you have the header files for building the UVC module with: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` You can find out which version of Linux kernel you have by issuing the command: uname -r In Ubuntu 9.04 the header files package should be at least 2.6.28-11 or later. On the left sidebar, choose your preferred compressed archive (they all contain the same files).
In 9.04 the UVC module has been included which means that some webcams 'just work' but it is recommended you still download the source code at LinuxTV uvcvideo development repository.
#Uvc cameras how to#
This tutorial explains how to build the latest v4l-dvb modules from source. UVC module included in Ubuntu might not be up to date and your webcam might not be recognized. In 10.04 the UVC module has been included, what I want to add here is how to change parameters for the driver like brightness and so on, I simply use guvcview install it and start it up using the command line if it is not working from the menu, try guvcview -d /dev/videoX change X to 0 1 2 and test, every change I make in the settings here remains active for other applications like Skype Add the following like to /etc/modprobe.d/nf to fix this: options uvcvideo nodrop=1Īfter you added that line, reloading the driver should fix the issue: sudo rmmod uvcvideo & sudo modprobe uvcvideo SCB-0385N usually works fine with cheese, vlc, skype and other applications, but google-chrome will have issues accesing it. With WebCam SCB-0385N (usb ID 2232:1005), WebCam SC-0311139N (usb ID 2232:1020) and WebCam SC-03FFL11939N (usb ID 2232:1028), you might need to add some configuration to the module if the usage of the camera makes the system freeze. Instructions for compiling the source code is included in this wiki. Instructions for downloading the driver are here Linux USB Video Class device driver home (Download). The GNU/Linux UVC Driver page is at Linux USB Video Class device driver home (Supported Devices) and includes a list of supported devices. UVC compliant peripherals only need a generic driver much like mass storage devices (USB flash disks, External disc enclosures, etc.) can be managed by a single driver because they conform to the USB Mass Storage specification. It defines video streaming functionality on the Universal Serial Bus. Checkout from SVN (this source is deprecated).
