Hi,<br>
After reading a message or two in the archives regarding supporting<br>
set-top video cameras, I got a bit interested.<br>
<p>
I've been looking at this one video camera made by Alaris called the<br>
QuickVideo DVC1. A look on their site (www.alaris.com) reveals that<br>
the camera can do 15-30 fps video, or _1600x1200_ high resolution still<br>
captures. Does anyone know how well this is supported under Linux or if<br>
it even is at all? It uses the parallel port and keyboard for power.<br>
I do recall one person telling me they got a quickcam-like device from<br>
someone else, and installed a Linux kernel with Video4linux support and<br>
it came up as an Alaris QuickVideo weeCam -- if that is supported I wonder<br>
if this camera could/is supported as well?<br>
<p>
Anyone have one of these cameras to testify? I hear they're only $120<br>
<p>
Here's a snippet from their description of it:<br>
DVC1 connects to your PC through a standard parallel port and draws power<br>
from the keyboard connector making it ideal for use with notebooks on the run. <br>
You won't need to lug around another AC adapter or PCMCIA video capture<br>
card. Unlike other parallel port video cameras, DVC1 allows you to capture full<br>
motion video at frame rates from 15 to 30 frames per second. You can also<br>
snap great high resolution pictures at resolutions up to 1600x1200!<br>
<p>
It's primarily the still captures that I am interested in.<br>
