[Nottingham] Linux webcam? (Martin)

[Jim Moore]

SumVision do some nice ones, 2MPixel Panther GT and 4MPixel Panther Gx 
respectively priced at £11 and £15. Local retailer The Computer Shop on 
Hartley Road (0870 740 4591) has several in stock. I have a 2MP GT and 
it serves very nicely as a CCTV block.

In answer to your other question: Mac OS X compatible does not 
necessarily mean Linux compatible. It does, however, mean *BSD 
compatible, as Mac OS X is *BSD based. :) Caveat: it might well work on 
Linux if it says X11 in the Mac OS requirements. FWIW, the Panther 
cameras /do/ work in Linux, as I'm using Zoneminder/Mandriva for my CCTV.

Cheers,

Jim.
