Need an application for viewing the webcamera
Posted: Sun 14 Aug 2005, 14:36
Hello,
I have a webcam (IBM NetCamera).
I have installed the drivers for this camera under puppy and dmesg shows me the camera to be detected and working on /dev/video0.
Now what I need is an application to view this camera.
I tried many ways of installing the applications like xawtv, streamer, camE, motion, camorama etc. but could not successfully view the camera. They all say no video grabber device found, or /dev/video0 initialization failed.
Somehow I am quite sure this is application level problem as driver level everything is working fine.
Can some one please provide an application package to me (with guidelines to install) to view the camera? I would be highly obliged if some one could do this for me.
Thanks and Regards,
Rahul
