Linux Drivers for Built-In Laptop and Notebook Webcams
- Ali M560x Linux Driver Project
The aim of this project is to create or obtain a working Linux driver for the Ali M5603C webcam chipset, see also M5603c_info with description of initialization and test-program, and variants of this chipset such as the M5602. - Sony PCG-V1XS Picturebook Camera Capture Program
- Linux UVC driver and tools for Logitech Quickcam USB and other models (e.g. with patch for Apple iSight).
- Built-in iSight Howto, Intel Mac ( iMac, Macbook )
- Syntek Semicon DC-1125 (174f:a311) Camera Driver Project
- stk11xx, add a new webcam driver for Syntek based webcams (kernel patch)
- Ricoh R5U870 Webcam Driver for Linux (Sony VAIO SZ, UX, some AR and some FE series)
-
The Sony Vaio PictureBook Motion Eye Camera Driver - meye
enables the use of video4linux compatible applications with the Motion Eye camera. This driver requires the Sony Vaio Programmable I/O Control Device driver (which can be found in the "Character drivers" section of the kernel configuration utility) to be compiled and installed (using its "camera=1" parameter).
- PictureBook Motion Eye Camera Driver for Linux
- v4l driver for the Sony R-Engine MPEG2 encoder/decoder (aka Fujitsu's MB86393). The Sony R-Engine MPEG2 encoder/decoder is found in the more recent Sony Vaio Picturebooks (model PCG-C1M* and newer).
- Reality Engine (Motion Eye II) driver project
-
EasyCam2 is software for an automated webcam installation. Thanks to the autodetection it will install the needed driver for your webcam.
- r5u87x: a bunch of userspace tools to help manage cameras based on Ricoh R5U87x chipsets.
External Webcams (for Laptops and Notebooks)
Linux Drivers for External Laptop and Notebook Webcams
- Philips USB Webcam Driver for Linux - PWC
- Philips USB Webcam Driver for Linux - PWC (deprecated)
- Gspca/Spca5xx, Spca5xx-LE, Zr364xx WebCams Driver
- drivers for webcams made by Creative
- Linux UVC driver and tools for Logitech Quickcam USB and other models.
- linux uvc - (similar like the linux-uvc project but based on em28xx code) changes have been adapted to the official uvcvideo driver to support Empiatech webcams.
- Linux driver for the QuickCam Express and other QuickCam-related and QuickCam-compatible USB web cameras
Linux Applications for WebCams
- Want to keep an eye on what's going on in your home or office when you're not there? You can turn a Linux box into a motion detector by using an old webcam and Motion -- software for monitoring a Video4Linux device.
- ZoneMinder
is a set of applications which together provides a complete surveillance solution allowing capture, analysis, recording and monitoring of any cctv cameras attached to a Linux based machine. It is designed to run on distributions which support the Video For Linux (V4L) interface and has been tested with video cameras attached to BTTV cards, various USB cameras and IP network cameras.

Here is a walk through the start of
building a camera application using gstreamer to access the Nokia N800 device's Webcam.
- UVCView is a simple USB video camera viewer.
-
guvcview
aims at providing a simple GTK interface for capturing and viewing video from devices supported by the linux UVC driver, although it should also work with any v4l2 compatible device.
The project is based on luvcview for video rendering, but all controls are build using a GTK2 interface.
-
luvcview
is a small video capture program ideal for webcam testing and problem debugging.
-
setpwc allows users to set all settings of a Philips (or
compatible) WebCam, including auto-gain-control,
color-balance, etc. Settings can be stored to the non-
volatile RAM of the Webcam and a dump of the current
settings can be retrieved.
