Yes, looks so - and today i did a multimedia/vdr build according to
https://wiki.freebsd.org/VDR - it seems like it will work. I need to go
through some trial-and-error process to learn a bit about it. I will
try vlc too, so I can gai some experience with it.

In any case, to me it looks like this device could be added to
https://wiki.freebsd.org/WebcamCompat page - so other will be informed
better than me yesterday :)

Thanks for comment/hint.
