Any trained gerbil can use a webcam on Linux. It takes a real Linux enthusiast to troubleshoot webcam issues successfully. Best read while listening to The Joker - Steve Miller Band.
Would love to read or hear your thoughts about a guide on using a external USB webcam that captures video when motion is detected. Especially in a VM setup running on Windows. There’s probably already many and various Linux-based free to download GUI’s. I’m interested more with a combination of CLI, scripting and Linux commands to achieve something like this.
This was enormously helpful. I still have to get "webcamd" working correctly to make my camera run under Crowsnest and hang it over my 3D printer. But at least I can see a video image via MobaXTerm running on a networked machine. And that eliminates bad hardware, a bad cable, a bad driver, and a few other things as the source of my troubles.
Video is always a lot like peeling the layers of an onion...

Hello
Just fantastic. Got my Trust webcam with SONiX Dual Mode Camera Processor, SN9C2028AF chip to work.
Thanks.
