If you want a webcam, you will have to buy a PAL or NTSC camera, and buy a Bt848/Bt878 based TV Card to grab the video. This has been used my many people including myself. As for USB support, over in linux-land, there is support for cameras using the CPiA chipset and the Omnivision OZ511 chipset, which covers the Creative WebCam II and III plus many many OEM cameras. But nothing has been done to write drivers/port drivers over to BSD Unix. Roger To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
